You'll find this charming apartment in Prati, one of Rome's most upscale neighbourhoods. Here, wine bars, boutique shops, and gourmet eateries line the streets, while must-visits like St. Peter's Basilica are within walking distance. The design inside is full of character, with a few contemporary twists like bold wallpaper and sleek bathrooms. It doesn't have the largest living space – most socialising will happen around the dining table – and the kitchen is compact but well-equipped. That said, we reckon you'll spend most of your time here out and about – especially since your host can arrange guided tours, cooking classes, and other fun-filled extras.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and high chair on request.
*There’s no real living area here. The main lounge has a dining table and a compact kitchen only – there isn’t a sofa.
*Some of the bedrooms have a desk in them, but the dining table can also be used as a laptop-friendly workspace.
