A Romantic Flat in an Historical Building

We just spent 10 days is this lovely apartment and highly recommend it.

The flat is just as seen in the pictures, which isn't always the case with rentals. Valentino and Sergio were so easy to work with and very responsive to our questions before we arrived and during our stay.

The flat is a great introduction to how one converts a space from a several hundred year old building into a modern living space-- full of quirky charm. Add in the personality of the owners as shown by the decor and this place is a delight. You will feel like a Roman!

One aspect we did not fully realize at the start of our staywas the incredible location. As it is on a small street and the surrounding buildings are high, it is easy to miss the "big picture" So when you stay here, be sure to get your bearings. Walk just a minute in any direction and you will find yourself on a main street. The Spanish Steps, the Vittorio Emmanuele monument, etc. are all easily visible. We never bothered with the Metro or bus as walking to everything from the Colosseum to the Vatican was so easy. We couldn't believe how easy it was to get around on foot.

The little grocery store, Shopping Paradise, is out the door, turn left and then right at the corner. Restaurants are everywhere. Dry cleaner is out the door on the right at the end of the street. With the Parliament building just down the street, there are plenty of police about and never did we feel unsafe at any time day or night.

The flat was everything we needed, but it may not work if you are a person of significant size (in either direction). Several of the doorways are quite short and the shower is small (but it has unlimited hot water due to the flash heater). The bathroom is en suite with the bedroom, so if you plan on using the living room sofa bed, it might be inconvenient, unless it is just for younger children. These are minor issues. Overall, this is a great place to stay and we look forward to returning soon!
