Overall, we were satisfied with our stay in the apartment. This was our third visit to Rome and we love staying in Campo dei Fiore because it is a good location for touring Rome - centrally-located and convenient for touring the city.
The apartment is in a small piazza that is in a pretty busy part of the Campo, with a restaurant on the ground floor of the building. When you enter the building, the outdoor seating of the restaurant is right next to the entry! Fortunately, with the bedroom door closed, it’s quiet enough for sleep.
The apartment is very pretty, with pleasant art and some antiques. The sitting area in the living room has 2 small couches, though not arranged in the most effective seating arrangement. The large dining room table is the primary focus and where we enjoyed our morning espresso every day.
There is a very small kitchen, with limited working space, so we didn’t do any cooking. Fortunately, lots of great restaurants in the area, so not a problem! There are numerous appliances provided, including an espresso maker, though I had to move the machine to use it (next to the microwave) because there is only one free electric outlet in a somewhat awkward location.
The one issue we had with our stay was not at all in Manuela’s control, but there is work being done in the building, and it started on the weekdays by 8:30am or 9:00am, and would go on during the day; we came back one afternoon to rest around lunchtime and the noise was intense and we had to leave the apartment during the work.
We felt comfortable in the apartment, but it is very much in the mix of all the tourist activity, and walking out the door, you know it’s a tourist destination. It’s delightful in the early morning, looking out and seeing people getting ready for work. The view of the dome of the large church is wonderful to see.
Manuela was good at communicating quickly and answering questions before our trip. She was also accommodating when we decided to arrive a day early and we were most appreciative of that.
