Looking for a practical Rome bolthole right in the thick of things? This apartment set just a ten-minute stroll from St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums should do the trick. You’re also just a short walk from Ottaviano Metro station, meaning all of Rome's best bits are within easy reach from here. Back home, while the pared-back interiors aren’t anything to write home about, it more than delivers on space. The main bedroom has an ensuite and access to a small balcony. While in the lounge, there’s a sofa-bed should you need a more flexible sleeping set-up.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, the last guest will sleep on a double sofa bed in the living room.
*This apartment is on the first floor and has shared lift access.
*If five guests share, you won't all be able to sit on the sofa. However, there's space to spill out around the dining table, which also doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
