Filled to the brim with unique artwork and quirky trinkets, this playful apartment embraces maximalism like there's no tomorrow. The apartment is full of colour and a sense of fun, though it's fair to say it won't appeal to lovers of neutral tones and pared-back decor. It's in an old building on one of the more characteristic streets in the charming Regola district. Several details remind you of that, such as the stone arches, vaulted ceilings and the ornate entryway at street level. Step out onto the cobbles and you're a five-minute walk from the lively Campo de' Fiori, seven minutes from the baroque beauty of Piazza Navona, and just over twenty minutes from the labyrinthine streets of trendy Trastevere.

Home truths:
* Child-friendly amenities such as a cot, pram and highchair are available upon request
*The walls are quite thin, so you may occasionally be able to hear the neighbours
*The kitchen is small - it's okay for preparing snacks and light meals but you would struggle to cook up a feast
*The metal staircase might not be suitable for young children and people with reduced mobility
