Despite the name, Vintage Alba is actually very new – it’s just been done up in a beautiful mid-century style. It’s in an old building, so there’s not as much natural light, but that feels like nitpicking. It won’t bother you when you’re soaking in that bathtub. The quality of the windows is very high, which might seem like a strange thing to bring up, but the street outside is very busy (as all of Prati is), and while you might still get some noise, the flat’s far more peaceful than it might otherwise be.


Home truths:
*Animals are sometimes allowed, but it's on a case-by-case basis so you'll have to ask Giovanni first

*Nothing's provided in the way of basic ingredients
*There's no washing machine in the flat, only a communal one
*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
