A fantastic new apartment in a less touristy part of Rome, it’s enough out of the city centre so that you’ll be around locals going about their day but close enough to the city centre that the bus stops and metro station (Piramide) which are less than 10 minutes walk away will get you into central Rome in less than 10 minutes.
The area is what you would describe as industrial (lots of businesses, warehousing), although the road and railway adjacent to the apartment complex are constantly busy as they lead to one of the few bridges across the river you don’t hear it much noise in the apartment.
There is a excellent fruit and veg store just a minute along the road (you won’t miss it as they’re loading and unloading trucks of fresh produce all day long) and there is a Carrefour Express which is open 24hrs a day just a bit further, but I’d recommend getting your bread and soft drinks from one of the few bakery’s in the area - they’re better and cheaper!
All in all, the apartment is great value - the two single beds are sofa beds (but good ones - not cheap foldout foam ones or futons) and when they’re set up the apparent can be a bit cramped it’s only for sleeping so not a big issue. There is an enclosed balcony too, we didn’t make much use of it because of the time of year although I can imagine it being great in the hot summer months.
We would definitely stay here again in the future.
