This was an ideal studio flat to stay for our three days in Rome. It's situated very centrally and we were able to walk to Travastere, the Pantheon, Tridente, and several good piazzas and churches. We also walked to the Villa Borghesi (in Luciferous heat) but others might not be so crazy. I haven't commented on the public transport because we walked everywhere or took a taxi (€5 to the Vatican felt OK). A 10 minute walk to the Palazzo Santa Chiara offered us a short concert featuring a string quartet, a tenor and soprano, and some excellent cheese and olives to take in with our glass of wine.The foodie market (Campo di Fiori) is a stone's throw as are lots of fabulous places to eat, including the popular Osteria right by the front door.
Given that it's a narrow commercial street, we were thrilled to find the 3rd floor flat very quiet. Once inside the old building and up the marble steps you are completely cut off from the noise. The only window is on to the passage where the washing machine is kept in a laundry cupboard and a window allows access to the washing line - authentic Italian apartment living - and very efficient. Inside the flat is lovely - it has character, a consistent shower and efficient air con. Who needs more? Actually, I need cleanliness and a comfy bed, but this flat scored well there too.
We found Francesco, the property manager/owner very easy to communicate with (in English) and likewise Nina who met us at the flat and very sweetly lugged my case up stairs. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay here.
