Terrific location. We could easily walk to the Spanish Steps, People’s Square, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. We also walked to the other side of the river to the Trastevere neighborhood Stefano recommended for dinner.
He gave a quick, but thorough, tour during check in. We appreciated the lift/elevator for our bags.
There was room for two of us to relax and read on the couch and the tv size was decent (though we didn’t watch any tv). The bed was very comfortable.
The small store (groceries/convenience store) on Via Vittoria stays open much later than The internet says it does and is good for some quick things you may need. There is a place on Corso for take away pizza and chicken between the apartment street and Peoples Square. I recommend the caprese, cold or heated. There are some places to find sandwiches too but most are sit down restaurants (1st plate, second plate, etc). We took a couple of Stefano’s suggestions in Trastevere neighborhood and enjoyed our meals. We also liked the area near the Pantheon but would go at least three streets away from any popular landmark. You can find the same meal for 1/3 less a few blocks away from something popular.
If you would like a good dessert and coffee for take away (take out/to go) I recommend Pompi Tiramisu.
There is a restaurant in the alley near the apartment that is open until 11pm. Since we were in Rome we didn’t try to sleep before then it wasn’t a problem for us.
Things that require an open mind:
1. Kitchen- there is a small sink and a fridge. It was enough for wine, cheese, tea, and coffee (thank you Stefano for supplying the coffee and tea), but you probably won’t cook a lot there. The dining room table had different sizes so could be used as a desk if needed.
2. Shower size- if you are one who gets annoyed that things are smaller in Europe, you may prefer a U.S hotel chain. If you want European ambiance then this is a neat place. I did have to pay attention to his shower explanation (I always do in Europe) and be patient while I shaved my legs.
My spouse and I would definitely stay here again. Stefano kept his place clean, had nice amenities (shampoo, soap, dish soap, paper towels, coffee, tea, etc) and was a great communicator. You would think those would be standard but we have found that isn’t always the case.
