If you’re after a smart bolthole set slightly back from the hustle of Rome's centre, this San Giovanni district apartment is a strong contender. The city’s sights, including the Basilica San Giovanni, are still within walking distance. But it’s just as easy to hop on the Metro (200 metres away on foot) – or ask your host to arrange a chauffeur for you, if you’d rather travel in style. A home best suited to close-knit friends or a small family, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lounge. That said, the two bathrooms are a welcome bonus to speed along your mornings. As is the small but sunny balcony – the perfect spot for morning coffees or aperitivos.
Home truths: *The apartment is not suitable for children under two years old.
*There is shared lift access in the building.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*While the small balcony is a bonus, it will feel overlooked.
