The Attic Penthouse is a perfect hidden gem from which to explore Rome.
The Apartment does have an ‘untraditional’ layout, but don’t be put off. There was plenty of space for a family of four, plus the spectacular terrace (verdant tranquility in the heart of a bustling city) is so nice, we may be spoiled going forward.
Paolo makes you feel like family and is everything you could wish for in a Host. The apartment is stocked with cooking implements and little extras that make living easy.
Location can’t be beat. 15 minutes to Colosseum, Forum, Trevi, Spanish Steps. Two minute walk to the Metro. Feels very safe. Grocery store (Pam local) around the corner and a friendly pizza place by the front door. Easily call for taxis right out front as well.
If you have mobility issues, or are traveling with big suitcases, this probably isn’t the place for you… but in fairness, I would not recommend trying to visit Rome with mobility issues or big suitcases.
