The view. The view. The view!
From the Colosseum across the Palatine, toward the “Typewriter,“ and the hills, this is the most jaw-dropping view imaginable. Sipping Prosecco on the balcony at sunset is a dream.
The unfortunate construction happening between the Forum area and the apartment is mostly covered by trees, but nothing to be done about that. Be aware that it is a 24/7 construction zone with bright lights on at night. There are no blinds in the bedrooms. We used two clothespins and a tablecloth to fashion a little curtain to block the light. Helped immensely.
The bathroom is large. The shower is interesting. Plenty of hot water and pressure.
We found the main bed to be extremely hard. We switched to the fold down bed in the second bedroom and were much happier there.
The kitchen will get the job done. The coffee situation is really good.
Leonardo (Antonella’s nephew), downstairs is so kind and helpful.
