Unicorn's Mane Rome, Lazio

Property Description

On a quiet street near San Giovanni in Laterano, this eclectic apartment offers a haven to return to after a day in the bustling centre. Though the neighbourhood is quiet, you’re still only a fifteen-minute stroll away from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. If you don’t fancy stretching your legs, the Manzoni metro station is a three-minute walk, putting all of Rome at your fingertips. This loft apartment is a mix of glamour and kitsch – think gilded mirrors, leopard-print throws and thick, red velvet curtains. Though the arched windows and exposed beam ceiling reassure that you’re in an old quarter of Rome. The eclectic fireplace set in a traditional mantle is a nice homely touch too.

Home truths:
*While there is a double sofa bed, there's no separation between that and the upstairs bed, so we wouldn't recommend using it
*The bathroom is really very small
*Not everyone will fall for the kitsch design theme
*Though there is no official, set welcome package, the host likes to leave goodies varying from fresh doughnuts and coffee to a bottle of wine for guests
*Parking is available on the street, but is paid and not guaranteed
