A ten-minute walk from the Vatican and moments from Ottaviano metro station, this apartment puts Rome at your fingertips. It's an excellent base for sightseeing, though if you'd prefer a more authentic stay, you'll find local eateries and independent shops in nearby Prati. There's plenty of space here for a group to stretch out. The living area is contemporary and cool, with a compact kitchen ideal for rustling up antipasti. All three bedrooms are stylish, though one has an additional single bed best suited to little ones. You'll also find desks in all the bedrooms – perfect for digital nomads.
