One of the most characteristic neighborhoods of central Rome in a high quality, well furnished and maintained apartment. A special association with a nearby hotel adds a unique and very helpful dimension of concierge services, daily breakfast buffet and the ability to leave luggage there when guests arrive early in the morning before the apartment is cleaned and ready.
The famous Piazza Navona area is one of the most sought after in historic Rome. The sites are at your doorstep and the area abounds with wonderful restaurants, winding cobblestone streets, cafes, and handy public transportation.
Location
Most famous sights in Rome are within easy walking distance. The glorious Piazza Navona is half a minute walk away. Just below is the famous Pasquino statue where, for centuries, Romans have posted political lampoons. This is just one of the "Talking Statues of Rome" which history is an interesting digression.
Exterior
The building is one apartment wide and is accessed from Via dei Leutari. Built in the 1800s, it was renovated in the last century to form three well-laid out apartments and to add an elevator. The Pasquino apartment is on the top floor for maximum light.
Interior
This centralissimo Roman apartment is laid out wonderfully for use by travelers. The "day" rooms and "night" rooms are well separated so variations in guest schedules don't disturb others.
The apartment itself sleeps up to six people with a master bedroom, second bedroom with 2 twin beds and a new queen sized sofa bed in the living room.
The apartment overall has about 1000 square feet. One enters into a hallway lined with historic prints. On the right is the large eat-in kitchen and the next door leads to a spacious and light-filled living room. The beautiful dining table seats six. A grouping of sofa and love seat are placed close to the window overlooking Piazza Pasquino. There is a small television with basic Satellite TV reception that receives a few English language programs as well as wifi Internet. An independently controlled air conditioning system serves the living and dining room. The original coffered hand-painted ceilings high above are a special feature.
The master bedroom also overlooks Piazza Pasquino. It is tastefully done with golden hued fabric lined walls. The bed has a leather, padded headboard and a firm queen-sized mattress. Very pretty French antique bedside tables have reading amps. A flat screen television is mounted facing the bed (Italian channels only). This room has its own separately controlled air conditioner mounted high on the wall. Closets for this bedroom are in an entry space that also opens onto the bathroom that has a tub, (no shower), sink, toilet and bidet.
The second bedroom is the former library and has a warm glow of wood. One twin bed is tucked under the cabinets and feels a bit like a ship captain's bunk. The second twin bed is made up as a day bed if not being used by guests. This room has its own separately controlled air conditioner mounted high on the wall. The bedroom overlooks Via dei Leutari. Ample closet in this room. The second bathroom has a fully enclosed shower, sink, toilet, bidet and washing machine. The bathrooms are older but clean and functional.
The kitchen is very large for a city apartment; it has three large windows that overlook an internal courtyard. A really nice feature is the dining nook that has an L-shaped bench and a table that can seat five. The kitchen is older but clean and totally functional with refrigerator, gas range, oven, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, pots, pans, utensils and dishes.
An important distinguishing benefit of the Pasquino apartment is its association with a nearby, excellent four-star hotel (3 minute walk) where guests can go for a daily breakfast buffet, included in the rent. Guests who arrive early in the day can go to the hotel and leave their luggage there. When they return in the afternoon, after the apartment is clean and ready, they will be escorted to the apartment with assistance with their luggage, too. Guests may freely drop in to the hotel and consult with the concierge. If your party extends beyond the number that can be accommodated in the apartment, the hotel offers good rates to apartment guests.

We were delighted with the Pasquino apartment. What a terrific location! It was roomy and comfortable for our part of four. Can't wait to return. Living room was particularly comfortable, nice high quality sofas where we congregated each evening to relax and enjoy cocktails before heading to one of the many neighborhood restaurants for dinner. Greeter was cordial and helpful. Favorite restaurant was the Insalata Ricca just down below in the little piazza. We had an excellent lunch one day and it was so good we went back the next day and order the exact same meal again! Also great pick was the wine bar type restaurant also in the piazza which had an amazing wine list. Handy tiny supermarket just two blocks away too which was perfect for picking up groceries. We were delighted to stay in this apartment, service from Italy Perfect was smooth from start to finish. S. Cohen Palm Beach, FL
