This apartment is perfectly situated in the heart of Rome, and yet there is no traffic or night time noise. The setting is absolutely perfect as you exit onto a side street off the most popular Via dei Corso, the main shopping street of Rome and the road leading in one direction to the Colosseum and Forum (10 minute walk). Of course, the Spanish steps are just around the corner from the apartment. The apartment itself is wonderful. The rooms are cozy, and there is lots of sleeping spaces. The pictures make it look a little larger than real life, but then again, this is probably a large apartment for the centre of Rome. The bathrooms are really nice, there is a very small laundry machine on the balcony and a small kitchen for cooking. There is also a small inner courtyard to yourself that is completely in shade and would be nice for gathering in the day or night. We would highly recommend the hostess as well - she arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport, who did a little tour as he drove, someone to greet us at the apartment, and had we acted more quickly she could have offered a private tour guide. All in all, highly recommend this hostess and apartment. Oh yes, and the hostess is very prompt in her replies. We felt in good hands.
