HIGHLY RECOMMENDED nice calm appartment on 3rd floor that has everything. Not far from the Colosseum
This appartment has everything: the owner Paola is really accurate in providing the best service for her travellers.
The spacious appartment with a high ceiling, is on the third Floor and can be reached with an antique elevator (one like in the movies). Because of the nice and modern furniture in combination with all the small delicate decorations and little things, it has a warm atmosphere. It lies in a calm place in the South of the centre, just below the Avantine Hill close to Via Marmorata, and you can reach the Colosseum in a 25-30 minutes’ walk. Walking to the nearest railway station Ostiense takes about 20 minutes. Btw if you need to drop off your luggage (e.g. on day of departure) you can use bagbnb on the internet and find a café that’s close to this station. Metrobus tickets can be bought just around the corner at a tabacco shop (we didn’t — we walked 4 days through Rome back and forth 12 - 18 km 😃)
The appartment has a comfortable Queen size bed (firm matress), a dishwasher, washing machine, 4 induction cooktops, oven, an Italian espresso and a filter coffee machine, TV, hair dryer, rainshower and hand held. Furthermore all the utilities you need for cooking and eating, even a toolset, and many things for personal hygiene. It really felt like home!
The two big windows can be fully closed and darkened closing the eight shutters by hand. The windows can also be shut with two pleated insect screens.
The owner Paola is very helpfull: she will certainly ask you how she can make your stay and “Rome experience” to an utmost pleasure! You can find her personal notes, recommendations, maps in a book she put together. E.g. based on her note we had 2 delicious dinners at the nearby Antico Forno restaurant.
