Although not in the center of Rome, we were close enough to either walk, take the bus or cab anywhere we wanted to see. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful. Everywhere you look there is another amazing, beautiful building! By not being in the exact center, the neighborhood was quieter, the restaurants close and "local", multiple grocery stores around the corner. The apartment is a step back in time. Large rooms, high ceilings with beautiful tiled and hardwood floors. Some people might find it a bit old fashioned - but we loved the history and that we were really staying in a someone’s home - rather than a sterile rental unit. The kids were thrilled with the old school elevator. The kitchen was actually one of the best equipped for a vaction apartment I have ever rented.
All in all, our week was magical - no other word for it.
