One of the most characteristic neighborhoods of central Rome in a high quality, well furnished and maintained apartment. A special association with a nearby hotel adds a unique and very helpful dimension of concierge services, daily breakfast buffet and the ability to leave luggage there when guests arrive early in the morning before the apartment is cleaned and ready.

The famous Piazza Navona area is one of the most sought after in historic Rome. The sites are at your doorstep and the area abounds with wonderful restaurants, winding cobblestone streets, cafes, and handy public transportation.

Most famous sights in Rome are within easy walking distance. The glorious Piazza Navona is half a minute walk away. Just below is the famous Pasquino statue where, for centuries, Romans have posted political lampoons. This is one of the few remaining "Talking Statues of Rome" which history is an interesting digression.

The building is one apartment wide and is accessed from Via dei Leutari. Built in the 1800s as a family's private palazzo, it was renovated in the last century to form three apartments, one per floor. The Pasquino apartment is on the top floor for maximum light.

This most central Roman apartment is laid out wonderfully for use by vacationers. The "day" rooms, which comprise the living/dining room and kitchen, and "night" rooms are well separated by doorways so variations in guest schedules don't disturb others.

The apartment itself sleeps up to six people with a master bedroom, twins bedroom and a new queen sized sofa bed in the living room.

The apartment overall is about 1000 square feet. One enters into a hallway lined with historic prints. On the right is the large eat-in kitchen and the next doorway leads to a spacious and light-filled living room. The beautiful dining table seats six. A grouping of sofa and love seat are placed close to the window overlooking Piazza Pasquino. Looking down into the piazza you'll get a snapshot of Roman life. A beautiful young Italian mamma pushing a baby stroller. Two regal Roman matrons, arm-in-arm, out for a stroll. A family on their way to a birthday dinner celebration. Lighthearted young men chatting and joking around standing in the piazza.

The living room has a small television with basic satellite TV reception that receives a few English language stations. There is WiFi Internet throughout the apartment. An independently controlled air conditioning system serves the living and dining room.

The master bedroom also overlooks Piazza Pasquino. It is beautifully done with golden colored fabric lined walls. The bed has a leather, padded headboard and a firm queen-sized mattress. Very pretty French antique bedside tables have reading lamps. A flat screen television is mounted facing the bed. This room has its own separately controlled air conditioner mounted high on the wall. Closets for this room are in an entry space just before you enter the bedroom. This outer area also opens onto the master bathroom that has a tub, no shower, sink, toilet and bidet. The bathrooms are older but functional. Lots of good light from the large window.

The second bedroom is the former library and has a warm glow of wood. It can sleep three in 3 single beds. One twin bed is tucked between the cabinets and feels a bit like a ship captain's bunk. The other twin bed is a trundle bed with a second bed that pulls out from underneath.  This room has its own separately controlled air conditioner mounted high on the wall. The bedroom overlooks Via dei Leutari, a very small side street. This bedroom has very ample closet space with many cupboards and space for storage. The second bathroom has a fully enclosed shower, sink, toilet, bidet and washing machine.

The kitchen is remarkably large for a city apartment; it has three large windows that overlook an internal courtyard. A really nice feature is the dining nook that has an L-shaped bench and a table that can seat four or five. Ideal for breakfast or for familes. The kitchen is older but clean and totally functional with refrigerator, gas range, gas oven, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, pots, pans, utensils and dishes.

An important distinguishing benefit of the Pasquino apartment is its association with a nearby, excellent four-star hotel (3 minute walk) with a friendly, helpful staff. Guests who arrive early in the day can go to the hotel and leave their luggage there. When they return in the afternoon, after the apartment is clean and ready, they will be escorted to the apartment with assistance with their luggage, too. Guests are invited to partake in the complimentary breakfast buffet at the hotel during its regular times. Guests may freely drop in to the hotel and consult with the concierge. If your party extends beyond the number that can be accommodated in the apartment, the hotel offers good rates to apartment guests.
