A great modern place to stay in the heart of ancient Rome. This warm and cozy apartment, built in the 17th century, is now equipped with all of the modern amenities. It opens into the living room/dining space/kitchen with a couch, television, refrigerator, microwave oven and even a washing machine. The bedroom inside with a very comfortable bed and closet space comes with a large window overlooking the square downstairs. The bathroom has everything you might need, including excellent hot water facilities.
Right outside the front door downstairs are several small cafés where the locals like to hang out and play their daily game of chess. The cobblestone alleys that transport you back to ancient Rome are dotted with plenty of restaurants, bars, cafés, boutiques, tobacconists and souvenir stores with ushers and vendors calling out their wares. A couple of turns and you are face-to-face with the magnificent fountains at Piazza Navona. Most of the sights and monuments in Centro Storico are within walking distance and also easily accessible by bus. Marcella was a very gracious host who took the trouble of telling us where to go and even left us a house book with all of the details. My husband and I would love to come stay here again as we feel like we only scratched the surface of ancient Rome this time around.
