In brief

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room choice — There is only one room type: a one-bedroom apartment with a double bed. It may not suit larger groups or those needing twin beds.
  • Parking is public, not private — The property offers public parking nearby, which in central Rome can mean limited availability and extra cost.
  • No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the property does not permit animals.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you arrive late, you may miss the check-in window (15:00–23:00), and there's no mention of 24-hour reception.

“Everything about this stay was wonderful, thank you. The location was superb, an easy walk from the Domus Aurea. In fact, the property was just off the Colosseum as well as being close to the Vatican.”

“It truly felt like a home away from home. The apartment was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with all the amenities you could ask for. The best part was the breathtaking view of the Colosseum, which I enjoyed every day. The location was perfect, with cafes just steps away for a delicious morning coffee and pastries. The metro and bus stops were also conveniently close, making it easy to explore the city. The host, Antonio, was exceptional, ensuring everything was fine throughout my stay. It was a wonderful and convenient base to explore Rome. The only con was that everything was great!”
