We stayed in the palazzo for three weeks in April/May 2015. We loved the experience of living in a real Roman neighborhood, just a three minute walk to Campo de Fiori, a vibrant piazza that has two lives: a working market in the daytime, and a place to eat, drink, shop, listen to street musicians, and hang out at night. Nearly all major tourist attractions are walkable (for example, 20 minutes west to the Vatican, 30 minutes east to the Colosseum). Although there is no Metro (subway) stop nearby, we walked almost everywhere and we always felt safe (but watch out for aggressive Roman drivers).

The building was originally constructed in the sixteenth century then renovated in 1928, including an Otis elevator of that era (small cab, detailed woodwork, manually operated doors - have never used an elevator like this one!). You have to walk up 20 steps after getting off the elevator but this was not an issue for us; they are beautiful wide, marble steps.

If you are looking for a newer apartment with lots of space, this might not be for you. But we really enjoyed it and left Rome after three weeks having gotten to know our neighborhood and the city.

Giorgio, Federico, and their family made us feel welcome and were very responsive to all our questions, including a few problems with the appliances.

The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice, the kitchenette was tiny but adequate for our needs.
