This is a clean fifth-floor apartment located in Prati, less than two minutes from the Ottaviano Metro station and less than ten minutes north of St. Peter's Square and the Vatican. Modern Rome is literally outside your front door (grocery stores, a bookstore across the street, restaurants every block, Via Ottaviano is a great evening passeggiata walk each night) and the Mercato Trionfale (Rome's largest indoor market) is two blocks west (and I visited most mornings for coffee and to pick up breakfast and lunch for my family...oh, I will miss the mercato so much.) You will feel like you live in Rome in this apartment, though have easy access via the close Metro to the touristy parts of the city. The hosts were lovely, friendly, and responsive and worked with me for an easy early check-in. If I were to rebook a trip to Rome, I would want to come and stay at the same apartment. One tip I wish I knew before the trip ... I would definitely download WhatsApp and connect with the hosts before the trip so you can avoid having to buy an international data plan. You can communicate on airplane mode with free wifi.
