My husband, son, and daughter in law spent a very memorable week in April at Campitelli fascinating apartment. The location right on the Piazza Campitelli was just beyond convenient and wonderful. The gorgeous Santa Maria in Portico in Campitelli Church is about 50 yards away...very convenient for Mass first thing at 7:30 or in the evening at 6:30. The
ruins of the Teatro Marcellus are, literally, right around the corner and are quite extensive. I can't believe the guidebooks dont talk more about it. Capitoline Hill and the very beautiful Santa Maria Aracoeli church is about 3 blocks away. Please do not miss this church! Walk behind the church for an incredible view of the Roman Forum. You can buy a combo ticket at the Mamertine and enter only, not exit, the Forum from there. The ticket will also get you into the Colosseum. Il Gesu was also about 3 blocks away. They offer Mass there about 5 times throughout the day. Largo Argentina ( taxis) and the Pantheon area is a ten minute walk.
We were VERY thrilled with the location of the apartment, and Lele was just wonderful and was very responsive to any and all communication. Our only concern about the apartment was the noise level...apparently the apartment lies at the corner of two regularly traversed streets. It was particularly noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. People were still walking right under our windows yelling, talking loudly, at 2 am, as if it were 2 pm. This kept me up at least 2 nights which was not good at all, and so if you are a light sleeper like I am, this might not be the place for you. I need to mention one other thing: the apartment has a very narrow spiral staircase not shown in photos. It was actually quite a challenge for me going up and down it...I am 62, but really we all felt it was a little much and kind of dangerous...I had to partially unload my suitcase so that my husband could get it up the stairs. Also, the upholstered furniture needs to be replaced...we were constantly pushing the bottom cushions back onto the frames...this was a pain to wake up to and come home to after an exhausting day. In conclusion, A+ for location and Lele, B/ B- for noise and stairs. I would rent again if I were 30 years younger, lol. Thank you, Lele, for all your help and for arranging transportation to and from Fiumicino!
