Special loft in Rome downtown
About this condo rental
“Art in the heart of Rome” This unique loft in the heart of Rome was born from the artistic concept of a roman artist. The antique perfectly melts with the modern. Sculptures, pictures and furnitures are the peculiarity of this big open space of almost 180 square meters/1,940 square feet, composed of a large kitchen, two bathrooms (both with shower), 3 bedrooms (2 double rooms and 1 for three people with a mezzanine floor) and a large living room. The apartment has an autonomous central heating system. The air conditioning is only in the living room but it's very powerful and able to cool the all apartment. The flat also includes a washing machine, a dish washer and free WI FI Internet access. The whole flat is equipped with everything necessary to ensure the comfort of our guests. Looking for a not traditional apartment inside an historical building in the historical city center? Here we are! A few minutes walking from the beautiful Piazza Navona (3’ minutes), Campo de’ Fiori (5’), Pantheon Temple (10’), Saint Angel Castle (15’), Saint Peter Church and the Vatican with its treasures (25’). You can easily walk to almost every important attractions such as museums and archeological sites: the Colosseum and the Roman Foro, Campidoglio, Trevi Fountain and the world famous Spanish Steps or if you don’t feel like walking you can ride public transportations, either city buses or taxi by walking a couple of minutes from the apartment. Also the central Railway station “Termini” is easily reachable with the bus line #40 (only 5 stops). And from the Termini station you can reach the main airport with the express line. Shopaholic? Charming and fancy shops right behind the corner in Via del Governo Vecchio (Old Government road) or, of course, in Via Condotti, next to the Spanish Steps. Folkloristic markets like the famous Campo de’ Fiori, wonderful churches with inestimable masterpieces, houses of poets and musicians, cinematographic spots…you only need to look for inscriptions on the buildings while you are walking around. Do you like Italian food? You can choose between hundreds of typical restaurants. Do you like to have fun at night? You are in one of the best neighborhood: nice bars and clubs and very good places where enjoying the Italian “Aperitivo” between 6pm and 9pm: our habit of meeting friends before dinner, drinking a beer or a very good glass of wine with very good and various finger food. Enjoy our habits in the very heart of Rome!

So enjoyed our fabulous stay in Rome at this lovely, spacious, and convenient location. During the hot July days we returned to a cool and comfortable place that kept us refreshed despite 100+ degrees during the day. Valentina and Mrs Enrica so helpful from checkin through checkout. Suggest using them for arranging transit. Our luggage delayed on transfer on way in and Valentina so helpful communicating with airport to help us resolve successfully. Excellent place to stay with very helpful ownership/managment!

Our time in Rome was short, but this place is exactly as listed. The check-in process was easy. Enrica met us at the apartment to make sure everything was good. Light breakfast items were there for our first morning. We loved roaming the side streets and finding wonderful tratorrias. Enrica also went above and beyond by meeting us back at the place to retrieve a lost passport. We would highly recommend this place.

We've rented a lot of properties, but this one was hands down the most unique and coolest flat EVER. Centrally located as well, so we could walk to most everything, this was like living in a part of a museum and time traveling a bit.
Excellent communication, assistance, and recommendations from the property mgr makes this 10 out of 10 stars. Very cool.

Eloquent and eclectic place in the heart of the city. Fun to find all the art treasures right inside the apartment! Awesome location making it easy to walk to the major tourist sights. The apartment is stocked with all the amenities you need for your stay. The host is quick to respond to questions and provided lots of detailed info about grocery stores, restaurants, and sight seeing. A truly wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful stay in Rome. The location was great and the apartment was huge. There is plenty of room to spread out in. Restaurants just steps away. This was the perfect retreat to end our busy day touring the city.

We stayed here for a quick 3 day trip to Rome with my 18 & 16 year old teenagers. The place was very nice and had a great location close to everything!!! Great communication from the property host!’
3.0
The location cannot be beat. And the apartment itself could be really great, with a few minor improvements. The owners would not have to spend very much at all to make it a stellar stay. Less than attractive furniture in 2nd bedroom, and the 3rd bedroom is only a loft, with no way of turning off lights once you're up in it. The bed in the loft was just a large foam piece, not a real mattress. Coffee pot didn't work, switch on stove hood broken off but functional. Also, for stays longer than 2 days be prepared to buy your own toilet paper!!! Towels were limited as well, but the host did make an exception for us since we were there almost a full week. They were very responsive however, which was a good thing. Couches need replacing, and you can hear the upstairs neighbors quite clearly. But again, location amazing and we did get timely responses from the host.

This apartment is in a perfect location for seeing all of the sights of Rome. We stayed with our family of 5, including our 3 teenagers, and the place was perfect for us. We were able to walk to almost everything we wanted to visit., and the streets around the apartment are very charming. What really made it wonderful is how attentive Enrica was to us. She arranged rides for us, gave us advice on where to go, and helped us with anything that we needed. Her customer service was above and beyond. The apartment has everything you need in the kitchen, umbrellas for the rain, and plenty of hot water for showers. We would definitely stay again if we are lucky enough to come back!

Me and my 3 sisters visited Rome to celebrate one sister's 60th birthday. We were originally scheduled for April of 2020, but needed to reschedule due to COVID. Valentina was very good about rescheduling the property several times without an additional charge. The apartment is very nice and accommodated us very well. We loved the location, within walking distance of all the major tourist sites. There were several nice restaurants very close to the property. The only problem was the apartment had a musty smell. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Quirky apartment with lots of character which we liked. Lots of space for our family of six with four teens. Everyone had their own bed. We packed carryons only so having the washing machine was very helpful. Showers are small, living room furniture should be updated as it old and uncomfortable. Air con cooled full apartment even though only in main room. Location is fantastic. You can walk to all the major attractions in about twenty minutes. Restaurants are literally surrounding you in this area. We would stay here again for sure!

Thank you to our host!

My wife and I stayed with our 6 kids (ages 15 - 26) at this property. This was a great place to stay. Location is fabulous, making walking to key sites in Rome easy, with access to all the food you could ever want. Everything was great from check in to check out. Property was unique, adding to the Rome experience. Kids thought it was great. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Owner was very kind and helpful, offering food recommendations and arranging transport to/from train and airport. We had a fabulous stay. THANK YOU!!!!!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for my family of six, and the location couldn't be beat. Very close to many restaurants and shopping. The apartment is a unique blend of old and new, and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were extremely helpful with regard to recommendations, general information, help with taxis, etc. They even dropped off extra candles when the power was on and off due to nearby work being done. Definitely would stay here again.

This is our second time to stay at this unique property, which do to Covid we had to postpone in 2020 and 2021. Valentina and her staff are wonderful.

This apartment is really unique and also functional. The host was amazing and met us at the door to walk us through the apartment and to tell us about the location. If you want to walk out your door and be immediately in the middle of a couple of outdoor restaurants on a small street and the fun energy of Rome then this is a great spot. My only knock is that there was a recent leak from an upstairs porch and there is some water damage.

This isn't your typical VRBO rental. The apartment is quite different and unique with remnants of ancient Roman roads and brickwork from the Middle Ages. The living room area is spacious and furnished with unique antiques and original works of art. My only negative comment (and it wouldn't prevent me from staying here again) is I wish there was more natural lighting. The apartment is sunken below ground level and natural light from existing windows is limited. There are several restaurants within moments of walking out the door, including one right next door . The location is great for heading out to Piazza Navona, the Tiber, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. I would highly recommend this place if your travels take you to Rome.

We loved our stay in this quirky flat. There’s plenty of room for a family and it’s so well located for all of the major sights. Our host was wonderfully helpful; organising, transport, recommending restaurants and welcoming us with good humour at 11.30pm.
We would love to come back

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The location was great and Enrica was a joy to meet and very helpful! Outside of the front building door are restaurants, which on weekend nights could get quite busy, but we could not hear any noise inside the apartment! We appreciated the snacks and milk in the apartment when we arrived. Communication was excellent with the owner. Couldn’t have asked for more!

We travelled to Rome for Christmas, and this apartment was perfect. You can walk everywhere -- it's very close to the Piazza Navona, and has a good combination of local life and tourist amenities within close distance. Considering the age of the neighborhood, I was pleased with the apartment facilities -- the heating worked well, there was always plenty of hot water, and there was a dishwasher and a washing machine. There were a few quirks, but as expected in an older house, and Enrica welcomed us and explained everything very carefully. She was always available to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place.

This apartment is very quirky and fun in a great location. Check-in was easy and the immediate neighborhood has everything you'd need for a stay in terms of food etc. The only thing that drops it from 5 stars is the description saying that no AC "because special position on ground floor makes it cool", the apartment it August reached above 28C (82F) and was very humid. In the evenings it was cooler outside for many hours before it approached the outside temperature. Admittedly they say there is no AC, but the statement that it is cool I'd quibble with. Therefore I'd give this 5 stars for the rest of the year, but be aware that cool is a relative term and it might not be comfortable for a family in the hottest parts of the summer. I'd highly recommend this place at any other time of the year.

This apartment is really special, the design and furnishings really lovely. Even in the heat of summer it stayed quite cool being on the ground floor. The check in and out process was great, and the recommendations given to us for places to eat, and things to see were 100% perfect. Those little details helped make our stay wonderful and memorable - for all the right reasons. Would definitely stay here again, and fully recommend.

Spent a wonderful four days in this spacious, comfortable, and creatively decorated artist's loft in the best, most lively and conveniently located neighborhood! So comfortable and cool in the summer heat. And on the ground floor so no wrestling bags upstairs! Communications and check-in experience could not be better!! Thank you, Miss Erica, for your kind welcome and excellent advice on neighborhood restaurants! We hope to stay here again on our next visit to Rome!!!
