This modern apartment has the best of historic Rome right on the doorstep. You can walk to the Spanish Steps in five minutes, the Trevi fountain in ten, and the Colosseum in thirty. In such a central location, you'll have your pick of authentic trattorias and buzzing bars. But if you prefer to unwind at home after a day on your feet, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is ideal for preparing home-cooked dinners. And if you need to catch up on work, the dining table doubles up nicely as a desk, too.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*The third bedroom has a single pull-out bed that extends into a double, we think it's better suited for children.
