Home truths
Your host has several apartments within this building, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
You’ll only have a private bedroom, living area with kitchenette, and bathroom here. The roof terrace is a communal area and is shared with the building’s other guests.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. The bedroom and living area are partially open plan so you won’t have complete privacy.
Given that this is an apartment in a shared building, and it’s in a central spot, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay.
You'll likely need some extra towels here.

About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
