Location, location, location! This place is literally one minute walk from the Pantheon. All the main sites a first time tourist could want to see are literally within walking distance from the apartment: Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, etc. So close! Also, there are a myriad of excellent restaurants and gelato stops steps away.
The place itself is set up like a standard American hotel room, to give you an idea of layout and space. The apartment was perfect for 2 people. The bed took up most of the space, with just enough room for a side chair on one side of the bed, and a bar height table for two on the other side. It is on the 3rd floor with a lift, but the lift is tiny. Probably 2ftx3ft. We opted to carry our bags up as there were only enough room for 2 people WITHOUT bags. But, the lift was fantastic after a long day of traveling to not have to walk up the stairs.
The highlight of the place was the rooftop access. It was HUGE, and adorned with multiple couches and tables and coffee tables and mood lighting. We went up there multiple times and had the place to ourselves. It had a beautiful view if the skyline. Such a nice added BONUS!
The room had excellent air conditioning and tons of hot water in the shower. There was also WiFi! Always a bonus when traveling: The bed was comfortable. There was a tiny corner kitchen that we did not use, but it seemed like it was stocked and sufficient to heat up some food or cook a quick and easy meal.
If you stay here, make sure to check out the Opera house that is literally 4 doors down. They have nightly concerts at 7:30pm with tickets ranging from 20-45 euros. We walked by and it sounded lovely - I wish we could have learned about it sooner as we were not able to attend - next time!
The host was amazing and super accommodating and understanding. He gave us recommendations upon request for restaurants and remained flexible when our airport shuttle ended up being 20 minutes late.
Two thumbs way up! Thanks Jacopo!
