This little apartment had absolutely EVERYTHING we could have ever needed or wanted, and it was right in the heart of Monti. Which, as a result of our stay at Svevo’s suite, turned out to be one of our favorite areas of Rome.
It’s in a bustling and lively area - tons of people around, lots of traffic - and on the street level, things can be very loud and exciting! However, the best part of Svevo’s suite was that once you shut the door and the interior window shutters, it was almost like sound-proofing. You could barely even tell that there was a whole incredible world happening just floors below you. It was pitch black with the shutters closed, and you could sleep until 10 am if you wanted and not be disturbed. Plus the bed is basically the most comfortable bed ever.
This place was super close to a lot of cool stuff, and honestly, Svevo was nothing but professional, kind, and helpful. His cousin Lavinia helped us a lot as well - we didn’t have exact change for the city tax when we arrived, and she was gracious enough to cover part of our end until we could get exact change. She also gave us info on the best gelato nearby, and the best restaurants. One of which, we couldn’t get into because it was full up until closing time - it was so packed with locals that I was truly bummed that we couldn’t go! Lavinia knew her stuff.
If you’re staying in Rome and want to do the basic tourist stuff (10 min walk to the Colosseum!) but also stay in a super cool part of town, stay here. It’s absolutely worth it!
