You'll find this bright apartment in dreamy Monti, surrounded by some of the Eternal City's best. Iconic sights such as the Colosseum and Pantheon are within walking distance. Though the kitchenette is the perfect place to practice newly-acquired pasta-making skills, several restaurants with authentic cuisine are right on your doorstep. The mix of old and new – rustic rafters against a sleeker kitchen – makes it easy on the eyes. We especially like the bedroom mural. Central and charming, it's ideal for a romantic getaway and curious explorers.

You must be able the steps here. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Your host provides a starter supply of toiletries.
