This beautiful apartment is located on the fifth floor on top of the palace of baroque painter Domenichino. For its reasonable size, it has amazing seven windows going in all four directions, which offer beautiful views over the roofs of Rome. Therefore, it's sunny and aery at the same time. We never needed to switch on the (existing) air conditioning.
The apartment is located in the upper part of the lively Monti neighbourhood. It is around the corner from Santa Prassede and Santa Maria Maggiore with their magnificent mosaics, only a 10 minutes' walk from Stazione Termini. It's a bit off the beaten tourist paths of the centro storico but still very much in the heart of Rome. The Forum Romanum and Colosseum are just a 15-minute walk away. The street, which once was the main street of the ancient Roman neighbourhood Subura, is now a narrow street where very few cars pass through. Therefore, it's quite calm for the centre of Rome. You might hear some noisy people in the street every now and then, but you can always close the bedroom window and leave some other windows open, if that disturbs you. We slept exceptionally well there. You'll find plenty of excellent restaurants close-by. Giulia provided us with a list with an excellent choice of addresses, a real insider list of someone who lives in the neighbourhood and knows Rome by heart. She was very friendly, helpful, and flexible with check-in and check-out times.
We highly recommend this beautiful place and would love to stay there again when we return to Rome.
