Settle into Roman life at this superb first-floor apartment. This stylish home can be found in the Aurelio neighbourhood of Rome, away from the hectic crowds of the city centre, but still plenty close enough to see the sights. The Baldo degli Ubaldi metro station is 500 metres away, and there’s a bus stop 350 metres away. It takes just seven minutes to reach the Vatican, and eighteen minutes to drive to the Colosseum. The apartment is bright and welcoming, with leafy views that make it a relaxing space to call home.

Local guide
About Aurelio
Despite its proximity to the Vatican, Aurelio is still often overlooked by Romans and tourists alike, only mentioned as the butt of the joke. However, it has more to offer than most would believe. A bustling residential district, it has plenty of local haunts with the clientele spilling out onto the street, as well as several green squares and a Russian Orthodox church, Santa Caterina Martire. It’s worth noting that some parts can be hard to reach, even with public transport, and it becomes less prepossessing as you head further north or west.
