Rating: This rental apartment is located in the famous Corso Street in Rome, very close to Piazza di Spagna, and is a popular area with many attractions. There are the Basilica dei Santi Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso, the Colonna di Marco Aurelio, the Piazza Colonna further back, the Obelisco di Montecitorio, and Giolitti, the best gelato in Rome. If you go a little further out, the famous Trevi Fountain and other attractions are not far away. It can be said that you can find endless landmarks and attractions of all sizes by just searching on Google Maps.
Transportation If you travel by train, maps will suggest you take the metro to enter from Plaza España, but I personally do not recommend this route. Because there is no elevator in the subway station, you need to carry your luggage up the stairs during this 10-minute journey. The road surface is all stone, which is a very harsh route for luggage, especially for your tires and your own physical strength. The best suggestion is to take bus n46 or 71 and others can be searched using goodnap to Galleria Alberto Sordi opposite the Colonna di Marco Aurelio. The bus stop is there and it will be more convenient to pull your luggage there because it is all asphalt roads and very convenient for pulling luggage.
If you have a budget, you can take a taxi for more than twice the price! But it is recommended to use Uber online payment to call a taxi. The drivers here are very cunning.
After booking a room, please note that an agent will send you an email asking you to check in online first, and then send you a link to open the door and the unit's door lock code. The door adopts remote switch design. The apartment is on the second floor. You will first go up the stairs, and then there is a very small elevator at the end. Two suitcases and one girl were basically full.
There are two households on one floor, and the unit they live in is divided into two rental apartments, one large and one small. We rented the smaller unit and stayed for two nights. The room rate per night near Christmas and New Year's Eve is about 200 Euros, excluding city tax.
After opening the unit password lock, you can see a letter. The drawer below will have the keys for the main door and your room door. Yes, the room door uses a traditional key. You need to bring your key when you go out, this is a very life-like accommodation. It's in a busy area but it's quiet enough to sleep outside.
The room is not big and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom has a rectangular shower and toilet on both sides. The heating pipe in the bathroom can be used to dry your hand washed clothes. From the windowsill you can see other residents' small gardens. The TV doesn't have streaming media so it's basically not very useful. The mini bar is equipped with wine glasses, mugs and bottle openers, and the capsule coffee from the coffee machine tastes pretty good. The overall cleaning is very clean. You will often see a friendly housekeeper who can only speak Italian but will be very enthusiastic to solve your problems within the scope of her understanding. If you have a lot of garbage, there are more than two trash cans at the door downstairs.
The disadvantage is that the space is not big and the luggage needs to block the door if you want to open it. The price is not cheap, but the overall pros outweigh the cons. If the price of a small room is less than 100 euros per night, I think it's worth a try.
City tax can be paid by credit card. If the agent does not collect the tax before your stay, the agent will notify you by email to arrange a time for collection.
