Comfortable, First Floor
This is a first floor apartment which is a rare find in Rome. It is 1-bedroom, 1.5-baths, and also has a comfortable pull-out couch. We stayed here comfortably with four people total, and had plenty of space. There is a full kitchen too, which is great to use if you want to save money on food. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy Rome like a local. It's in a fairly popular area, but you'll be closer to family run restaurants and local markets rather than bustling tourist attractions.
