In upscale Prati, this apartment makes an excellent base for a Roman holiday. We love this location – the area's many wine bars and gourmet eateries are a stone's throw away, as is the Vatican when you're in the mood to sightsee. Juliet balconies overlook the pretty streets back home, pairing nicely with the sleek and minimalist interiors. The sofa bed can accommodate two guests, making it ideal for short stays. You'll also have access to a private terrace – it may not have any views, but it's still a pleasant spot to unwind in the evenings.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. The mattress is a little thing, so we think it's best for children and short stays.
*The terrace is slightly overlooked by neighbouring buildings.
*Though parking isn't provided, a car isn't needed in Rome. A metro station is just a short stroll away, and much of the city is within walking distance.
*This home doesn't accept groups of young people up to 21 years old.
