I have stayed in Antonella's great apartment in Flaminio on several occasions, but I have not posted a review since my first stay (another 5-star review) a couple of years ago, so it is about time for me to add a second review, if only to confirm all the positive things I wrote in my original review. Red Flat in Rome is quite simply my first choice as a base whenever I need to book a place to stay in Rome. The apartment is spacious, functional and ultraclean. It has two large bathrooms and two comfortable bedrooms with great mattresses. I have stayed here both as a single traveller and with family and friends. The neighbourhood, Flaminio, is brilliant, an authentic "quartiere" in Rome where everyone seems to know everyone. Even though there is a distinct neighbourhood feel, the city centre (Piazza del Popolo) is less than 20 minutes' walk away, and the number 2 tram, which stops close to the aparment, will take you there in no time. The small street, known as "Piccola Londra" that leads to the apartment from the Viale del Vignola side is very picturesque. There are several nice restaurants and bars in the area. My favourites are Osteria Flaminio, which is located very near the apartment (excellent food, sligthly pricey, but Red Flat guests receive a discount) and Il Buchetto, a very modest pizza joint serving some of the best pizzas in Rome. Cavatappi is an excellent wine bar in Via Fracassini, and 20MQ right opposite the apartment in Via Flaminia is another great place for an aperitivo. If you fancy a home-cooked meal, do visit the butcher's shop in Viale del Vignola, the best in town! Seriously! Younger travellers should also head in the other direction of Via Flaminia to Ponte Milvio, which is packed with bars and get very lively in the evening.
A concert at the brilliant Auditorium Parco della Musica is also a must.
If, like me, you are a runner, or if you simply like to go for long walks, you are spoilt for choice here with the cycling lane along the river all the way to Trastevere and beyond as well as several parks, Villa Borghese, Villa Ada and Villa Glori.
Last, but not least, Antonella is the perfect host. Always very friendly and helpful towards all her guests and always prepared to help with any kind of problem.
I highly recommend a stay at Red Flat in Rome!
