I chose this property as it is in one of my favorite areas of Rome. Staying in the Jewish Ghetto feels a bit like you are in a small village inside of a city surrounded, of course, by both ancient and more recent history.
The apartment building seems to have just one apartment on each floor for a total, I believe of 4 apartments and I was, as requested, on the top floor with a very large terrace as depicted in the photos.
The apartment photos are very accurate so, with respect to the rooms and amenities it is as described.
Staff was responsive to any questions I had and the once per week housekeeper was excellent, very thorough.
The one thing that may matter to some guests that I don’t believe is in the description is that, while there is an elevator, there is one flight of stairs up to reach the elevator and then another flight of stairs to the apartment door when you exit the elevator on the floor of the apartment. Inside this particular apartment unit that has the terrace, there is a flight of stairs up to the terrace and laundry room. These stairs are inside the unit.
I mention this for those who may have mobility issues and difficulty with stairs. I was fine with them but I hope it is helpful to know this.
The living room furniture is eclectic and the room is very large with two windows facing the street.
The bed was firm and perfect and I slept soundly and comfortably.
The street below is lined with restaurants and there is true pleasure in enjoying this unique small area which is just 3 minute walk to the Tiber River with Trastevere just on the other side after you walk over the bridge of the historic oldest hospital, on Isola Tiberina.
5 minutes walk to Campo de’Fiori with a vast open market where you can load up on fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices and is surrounded with various small specialty food shops.
The location is superb, most everywhere is walkable and there is nearby public transportation (trams, buses).
I felt 100% safe as I always do in Rome but even more here when returning late as restaurants are still bustling late into the night so I was never coming home to a quiet deserted street.
If you are not Italian, do be sure to be shown how to use the dishwasher, washing machine, intercom, TV, stove…it is all simple enough but each country has its own different styles and, of course, language.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
If you can book the one with terrace, don’t miss out!
