Fantastico!
We spent an amazing week over Christmas here. This rental was exactly as described and perfect for our family of four. Rosie the property manager was lovely and David the owner is a wonderful communicator. The inclusion of a pickup from the airport feels luxurious after a long flight and then Rosie and David helped organize our booking of a return ride with the same car service for our departure. We also so appreciated David’s guest guide book with its many suggestions- we made an amazing Christmas dinner with steaks from Antica Macelleria Annibale and we enjoyed a dinner at La Bottega del Caffe at Piazza Della Madonna. The apartment is fantastic and the location is prime. We walked ALL OVER the city from here. Christmas night we stayed up past midnight and walked a few minutes to the Trevi Fountain and had it nearly all to ourselves which was magical. We would 100% stay here again and highly reccomend.

"4th Stay at The Spanish Steps Apartment

The Spanish Steps Apartment is everything it is hyped up to be. This is our fourth stay at the apartment since 2016. The apartment is beautifully furnished, comfortable, spacious, and has every amenity that you would have in your own home. And the location cannot be underestimated - in the historic section of Rome, mid-way between the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. David, the owner, is the consummate host, from the time you set foot in Rome with an airport chauffeur to providing detailed information about the apartment, a lovely property manager, and all the information you would want plus more on visiting Rome - sights, dining, coffee, gelato, shopping, you name it. On this trip, we visited many lesser known sights; David's recent recommenation about the The Museum of the Forma Urbis (archaelogy map museum) was spot on and fabulous. We have scheduled our visits to Rome around the availability of The Spanish Steps Apartment and encourage you to do so too!"

Our visit this morning to the Trevi Fountain ...

You may have read that right now the Trevi Fountain is drained while they are doing some cleaning/restoration work on it so that it looks its best for the Vatican Jubilee, which begins on December …

18/11/2024

As some of you may know, over the last few years there's been a lot of work on the outside of our lovely old palazzo, and it looks better today than I've ever seen it look. In 2025, we're renovating the inside, sprucing up our foyer and stairwell! Work is scheduled to begin in late April or May (that's "scheduled," which usually means it might slip a bit ...) and should not impact your enjoyment of the apartment. Work will start at the top floor and work its way down. We look forward to a beautiful new interior to match the beautiful exterior!

Our latest review, posted on Airbnb:

"5/5 stars

We stayed at David's place for a month and had everything we needed. Communication with David and his property manager, Rosie, was easy and frequent, from detailed information before our arrival to periodic interactions during our stay. The car service provided for airport pickup was outstanding, so we used it for our return as well--same price as a taxi to the airport and 100% more reliable as the taxi situation in Rome was less than ideal this year. The apartment is exactly as pictured--large comfortable living, dining and bedrooms, modern bathrooms, tiny but incredibly well-equipped kitchen. Great wifi, plenty of hot water, AC in all main rooms, washer/dryer combo, an elevator, full-size refrigerator and freezer, microwave, nice TV with Netflix and other streaming services, and weekly cleaning--we could not have asked for more in a long-term stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and plan to stay here again."
