We wanted a place that was close enough to all of the attractions but in a really local area. We knew if we stayed smack dab in the center of Rome, we’d only be exposed to tourist restaurants, sites, etc. We wanted to go where the locals went! This place met all of our criteria, and our host made it super easy too. Gianluca was very responsive to our emails and questions (we didn’t have many as he laid things out pretty well!).
The apartment is great for 2-4 people, with a nice bathroom and plenty of space. There is a TV (only in Italian), a mini fridge, a washer, hairdryer, etc. The loft area wasn’t really of use, but it was cool to see the architecture of an old building.
The location was amazing - 15-20 minutes from the Trevi fountain and Colosseum. We didn’t take a taxi or a bus the whole time! From tee apartment it was a 14 minute walk to the main train station which was extremely handy for getting to and from the airport and going to Florence.
I did have a little trouble going to sleep as the streets were noisy and there seemed to be construction going on in the early morning. Eventually they quieted down, but I would suggest bringing ear plugs just in case! This of course is no fault of the apartment, that’s just how it is!
The apartment can get very warm(cozy!) and there was always hot water! Perfect for a winter visit, as some places in Europe actually require you to turn on immersion or the heater in order to get hot water. So, it is a welcomed luxury!
Would 1,000% recommend staying here!!
