Piazza di San Paolo alla Regola, 34 in Rome:
1. You can hardly find a better location to stay in Rome!
Campo dei Fiori: 400 meters
Piazza Navona: 650 meters
Pantheon: 850 meters
St. Peter: 2,2 km.
Trastevere is around the corner.
2. Use the bus! Tickets available at Tabacchi shops. You can reach nearly every interesting
place with only 1 bus.
3. The apartment:
a. The photographs on the website are more luxurious than the real thing. The couches
on the photographs are not those in the apartment. Probably just as well, as those on
the photographs seem less comfortable.
b. The door to the shower is a problem, it hinges at about one third of the width of the
door. Made for ultralight Italians, no doubt.
c. There is an electric cooking stove, a refrigerator with ample space and a washing
machine. They work! There is even an authentic Hoover vacuum cleaner from halfway
the previous century! Great! Don’t forget to film yourself using it, then you’re part of
history yourself!
d. The bedsheets are cleaned once a week. The beds are really clean. Not very soft.
e. The upper bedroom cannot open a window, so for fresh air, you’ll have to leave the
door open.
f. Ermanno is a really good host! Communication with him via WhatsApp is no problem.
The cleaning ladies once forgot to leave us enough towels, so he came and brought
them himself.
g. The apartment is on the first floor. There is a lift, an elevator, but it doesn’t take you all
the way, only to a mezzanine level. For us that wasn’t a problem, even though we are
elderly, but it could be for people with a handicap. The 3 bedrooms can only be reached
by climbing or descending a couple of steps!
h. There is a COOP supermarket 190 meters from the apartment where you can buy all
the foodstuffs/ soaps you need.
Have an good stay in Rome!!
