Location, location, location! EASY walking distance to Vatican City, Plaza Navona, and the Pantheon. Decent walking distance to the Spanish Steps, the Coliseum and Forum.
If you cannot do narrow winding staircases, this place is NOT for you. Caution to the very tall (6-2 and above): watch your head on iron staircases and the only ground floor bed (it has both a headboard and footboard.)
The direct neighborhood is bustling with restaurants and bars, one of which can be viewed from the bathroom window, but the apartment is amazingly quiet.
The apartment is not a great place to hang out because if size and somewhat awkward floor plan, however, as a tourist who was not interested in hanging out in the apartment, it was fantastic. The AC was a welcome reprieve from Rome’s summer.
Sophie is quick to respond and very pleasant to communicate with.
