Hotel Details

Location

The apartment is a 12-18 minute walk from Roma Termini, with a direct tram stop 5 minutes away for quick access to the Colosseum and central sights.
Situated in a quiet residential area near Porta Maggiore (7-minute walk), the apartment offers easy access by foot or tram to Rome's historic core. Vittorio Emanuele Metro Station is 1 km away, and Sapienza University is less than 1 km. Roma Termini station is within a 12-18 minute walk, providing train connections and express shuttles to Ciampino Airport (13 km). The surrounding San Lorenzo district is filled with restaurants, bars, and supermarkets, all within a 5-minute stroll. For evening trips to the centre, the tram or bus is more practical than walking through less busy streets.

Accommodation

A spacious ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room, modern furnishings, and a well-equipped kitchenette.
The apartment includes a private bedroom with a very comfortable bed, a living room with a sofa bed (sleeping up to 4), and a bathroom with a shower, bidet, and complimentary toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste). The kitchenette is fully stocked with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, cookware, and dining essentials. The property has high ceilings, tiled floors, soundproofing, air conditioning, and a washing machine - all newly renovated. A welcome bottle of wine, water, snacks, and coffee/tea are provided. The host also supplies a baby cot and changing table on request, making it family-friendly.

Dining

The apartment does not have a restaurant or bar, but its kitchenette is fully equipped for self-catering and the neighbourhood offers numerous dining options within a 5-minute walk.
The well-equipped kitchenette includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, and cookware, perfect for preparing meals. The host provides complimentary wine, water, coffee, tea, and snacks as a welcome gift. Within a 300-metre radius there are at least seven restaurants and cafes, including La Mucca Bischera and Osteria Jenny a San Lorenzo, as well as a craft beer bar. A supermarket is also nearby for groceries. The kitchenette's equipment and proximity to eateries make self-catering or dining out equally convenient.

Wellness and Leisure

The apartment does not offer on-site wellness or leisure facilities, but its central location provides easy access to Rome's main attractions.
There is no pool, spa, gym, or dedicated leisure area within the apartment. However, the property's location - a 20-30 minute walk or short tram ride from the Colosseum and other landmarks - means that sightseeing, walking tours, and exploring the city serve as the primary leisure activities. The quiet residential setting also allows for a restful night after a day of sightseeing.

Facilities and Services

Free fast WiFi, private check-in/out, luggage storage, and a safety deposit box are included; parking is not on-site but available nearby.
The apartment provides fast, free WiFi (168 Mbps) capable of streaming 4K and handling video calls. Private check-in and check-out are handled by the attentive host, who has been noted for accommodating early arrivals with luggage storage. A safety deposit box, ironing facilities, and a washing machine are available. There is no on-site parking, but roadside paid parking is an option (€1.20/hour or €4/8 hours, free after 7 PM and Sunday). The host can assist with taxi arrangements. The property is accessed via key and protected by smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.
