Intimate 1BR / 1BA short-term apartment near Campo dé Fiori

Guest Reviews

October 2006
We spend three nights as a family of 2 adults and 3 children in the apartment. Entering a narrow side street and only a few meters away from Campo dei Fiori, the apartment is small and not a luxury, but the little space is smartly used and offers a very cosy place to stay. Due to the the narrow street (the apartment is built into a former shop on street level) blinds are necessary to prevent the view into the apartment. The lovely decorated interior and lighting make the stay comfortable. The kitchen area is small, but well equipped to cook pasta and maybe a sidedish. The beds are large and ensure good sleep, and kids do like the "hideaway" bed area above the large matrimonial bed. The apartment has TV and an internet connection (both we did not use). In the night the area is a little noisy due to the direct neighborhood to the nightlife of Campo dei Fiori, but we loved to be central and within walking distance to all important tourist sites (Piazza Navona, San Pietro, Fontana di Trevi). In the direct neighborhood we had carpenters, antique furniture shops and the shop owners did not mind some friendly conversation, if one speaks a little bit of Italian. A small but well equipped supermarket is just five minutes away (on a small square in front of ponte Mazzini). Fresh fruit and vegetables can be found on the daily market of Campo dei Fiori and on other small market places around. We really felt embedded in true Roman city life, enjoying both the touristical part and the local smell. When coming from or going to the airport we found it most practical to just take the cheap airline bus from the airport to Termini and from there to proceed with bus line 64 or 40 to Campo dei Fiori. Also night buses are leaving very close from the apartment. All in all the right place to stay to experience something local right besides the large tourist attractions. We would come back. Regards
