Their apartment in the Borgo Pio location was great! As a first time visitor to Rome, the location of the apartment couldn't have been better. It's a 10 minute walk to St Peter's Basilica and a 20 minute walk to the Vatican Museum. You're also walking distance to many of the popular sights
Rough Estimates:
- Spanish Steps - 30 min walk
- Colosseum - 40 min walk (less by cab or by metro, but it's really not that far)
- Trevi Fountain - 20 min walk
- Piazza Navano - 20 min walk
- The Pantheon - 25 min walk
Borgo Pio also has a great selection of food options as the street is closed off to vehicle traffic. There are at least 5 gelato options and over 15 restaurants to choose from. There are two restaurants next to the apartment, two more across the street, two gelato spots next door and a small supermarket behind the apartment. It's insanely crazy how close everything is. If you want to go shopping or check out other restaurants nearby, you're only 20 mins away from it.
Next to the apartment is one of the cities 4000 fresh water fountains. The apartment itself is very cozy with a lot of room. The kitchen and bathroom maybe a bit narrow for my taste but since it was my first trip to Rome, I was more about exploring the city. The apartment is very up to date with an air-conditioner in both rooms, the living room and bedroom. It's very spacious as well. Their team was also responsive in helping with my needs. They were also able to assist me with a shuttle to and from the airport. I can't wait to return to Rome and when I do, guaranteed, I'll be using this apartment again!
