We booked an extended stay at the tastefully decorated 2 story small ‘villa’ near the Spanish Steps. The apartment is lovely, unique and stylish.
The first floor is very airy with tall ceilings, a nice large window and good wall lighting, a large dining table with built in seating, a small sofa (hide abed) and a few chairs. The petit kitchen has a small refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, four gas burners, small oven/grill (excellent for reheating pizza). Good utensils for cooking/eating, glassware, pots/pans. An excellent single serving espresso machine. Also a nice half bathroom.
The second floor has 2 master bedrooms with large beds and each with its own well-designed bathroom with small showers. The water pressure is excellent, with ‘on demand’ hot water. Also a good amount of closet/drawer space. All rooms have air conditioning which really maintained a comfortable living during the hot months. As shown in the pics, the small circular wood staircase is wonderful looking, challenging if you’ve been drinking and somewhat narrow - but really special.
The location is as described - 2 blocks from the top of the Spanish Steps & Medici Villa. The area is full of original clothing/jewelry shops as well as restaurants/bars. At the opposite direction is an active nightlife (jazz & music clubs) around the upscale Hotels (Savoy, ‘W’, Excelsor) and the embassy row (USA, France, etc.). We comfortably walked to most of the major/cool neighborhoods within 30 minutes but you also have the underground public transport 3 blocks away, the Termini train station (16Euro cab) for the airport, and many air conditioned bus lines all open long hours with stops near the house.
Restaurants are abundant, most tourist focused with higher prices, but mixed in are some of the best local places, just do your homework on your phone maps or ask the host to share.
Gianmarco, the host, is friendly, very helpful and follows up promptly with issues. We highly recommend his wonderful apartment for any length of stay. And we plan on returning.
