We stayed here for 4 nights and highly recommend this apartment. I had reserved another apartment in the Trevi neighborhood but after I booked I never heard back from the host. I sent several messages and never got a reply. So canceled that reservation and booked with Marianna who is among the best hosts you will ever have. She answers every question thoroughly and responds quickly. She meets you at the door, checks in on you and does everything she can to ensure the apartment works for you. My wife and I are walkers and easily did 13+ miles on foot each day. The location of the apartment easily allows you to explore the beautiful city of Rome. The apartment is a 5-10 minute walk to the colosseum, less than 15 minutes walk to the closest train station, 30 minutes walk from the main Roma Termini station and is situated on the edge of the Monti district which is easily accessible on foot. Our favorite neighborhoods are Monti and Trastevere which is about a mile and half to 2 mile walk from the apartment. The vibe in both areas is awesome… just a lot of socializing, cafes, and narrow streets lined with people eating and drinking. Our two favorite restaurants are al42 by Pasta Chef in Monti and Tonnarello in Trastevere. There is a coffee shop next door to the apartment, as well as several others in the area. We also got sandwiches and pastries at Baker Boss bakery which is 2 blocks away and is really good. The apartment is on the second floor which you can walk up, about 30 steps, or use a very small elevator. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment is a huge advantage as well as two separate bathrooms, not many apartments offer either in Rome. The water pressure in the shower is good. The kitchen is small but offers everything you will need including 2 burner stove, a mini fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker…. After you enter building and get to second floor, there is key card that opens to the apartment’s entry area which is shared with another apartment. The door directly into the apartment is also a key card and nothing else is shared nor did we ever see anyone in that entry area which is well lit and smells wonderful! This is a fantastic apartment in a safe area, close to the major attractions in Rome. And you won’t find a better host than Marianna!
