This apartment is perfect! And I should say that I am a bit of a critic having travelled the world and stayed at many hotels, hostels & apartments for the past 10 or so years. We are a young couple from Australia who stayed here with our very active one year old son. Here’s why we loved staying here- The location! The location is incredible. You could not ask for a better spot to stay when in Rome. You walk out the door onto your cobble stoned street, walk a few more steps and you are right in the market square. There are little streets everywhere with shops and restaurants and bakeries and gelaterias - the atmosphere is just there by default. The market is on every day from 7am (it opens a little later on weekends). It is surrounded by restaurants and cafes. They start packing down the market from around 3pm but there are always a few stalls left til later in the afternoon. For a first impression I would arrive early! Then later in the evening the focus of the square is on the cafes and restaurants. The market sells fresh fruit and veggies, cheese, smoothies, fruit in cups, clothes, oils, flowers, packets of pasta and other random market paraphernalia. Locals shop there but obviously lots of tourists mainly! A lot of the restaurants have chairs facing out so you can just sit there with a coffee and watch the world go by. The apartment is only a 20-30 min walk from all the main sites. We walked everywhere and we had a pram and nappy bag! Vatican, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi fountain, Via Del Corso, (an amazing shopping street with shops like Zara, H&M, Bershka etc) and Villa Borghese to name a few. If you get too tired to walk home you can jump in a taxi which will cost you no more than 10.50 euros too. The apartment! The apartment in itself is gorgeous. It’s on the second floor (relax, there’s a lift!), has a seperate bedroom and all the windows (5 all up!) are old fashioned and beautiful and when you open them up you really feel like you’re in Italy! The view out of them is just beautiful. You can see right down the streets (which are basically like lane ways) and up into the beautiful sky. The seperate bedroom was perfect for us as our son slept in there in his cot and my husband and I slept in the lounge room on the fold out sofa bed (yes it’s comfortable!). During the day we folded the sofa bed up to make use of the space in the living area. The living area has a dining table with 4 chairs, a fridge, a TV, and a shelving area to put all of your things on. There is also a small but nice kitchen which has a stove, a sink and all the utensils you need to do basic cooking (which was lucky...
