This apartment is great for a short trip to Rome as it is in a fantastic location near to bars, restaurants , the Vatican, and the metro and buses. We also thought it seemed more spacious in the main living area than the photos show. Claudio provided honest information about the property before booking and replied quickly whenever I messaged. He also gave us a warm welcome at check-in to show us around. The only things I would say is the property is slightly worn in places (including the bathroom), which we expected and didn’t mind as we didn’t spend too long in the property. You also need to make sure you keep the window open when you can for ventilation, we did this when we were out during the day (it is a very safe area with bars and a net at the window).
Tips:
- Although all the sites are walking distance, definitely use the metro to get around. The station is around 5mins walk from the property and the tickets are cheap.
- Ai Balestrari in Prati is a great authentic Italian restaurant only around 5 mins walk from the property, I would definitely recommend. We also loved Chopsticks (all you can eat sushi) and l’Altra Guancia, which were also a short walk.
- Although Prati is generally a quieter area, if you would like to go to a bar in the evening for drinks and more of a lively scene, I would recommend Basement and the Irish bar which are all under 10mins walk from the property.
