King's House - San Giovanni/Re di Roma

Relativamente perto da estação de Metro de Re di Roma (400m) e com supermercado a 100m.

Os chuveiros em ambas as casas de banho são muito estreitros e tem um derau elevado na entrada. A casa de banho pequena é minuscula não sendo pratico a utilização do lavatório.

Location: An excellent vacation apartment, in a good location not far from the heart of Rome. Two short blocks away from the A line of the metro, and right around the corner from line 87 that'll take you straight to the Colosseum or castle St. Angelo. Also a 2.2 Km run to the Colosseum, if you're into that kind of thing. There's a Conad grocery store between the metro and the apartment. Great for stocking up on anything you'll need. The Pompi restaurant across the street from Conad is a great place to start your day with a coffee and a pastry. Facilities: The apartment itself looks just as wonderful as the photos: Modern, clean, functional. As a family of 5, we had a bedroom for ourselves, another bedroom for 2 of the kids and one kid on the pull-out couch. There are air conditioners in both bedrooms, but not in the shared space. In the heat of August, it's hot, but not unbearable. The standing fan helps a lot. Can't wait for Europeans to discover ceiling fans. The A/Cs in the bedrooms are a little weak, but that's an issue with Italian infrastructure more so than the apartment. With only 3kW of power, running the A/Cs draws most of the power that any Italian apartment can provide. The rooms will get cool, but it'll take a while. I had one of my kids sleeping on the pull-out couch, without an A/C, in August, and they slept just fine. Finding a vacation apartment with two bathrooms was important to us, and for this price and in a good location this was really amazing. Having two showers as well was just a bonus. The one shower is really small - 60x80 cm or so, but still big enough for a grown man to use. As is standard in Italy, there does not seem to be a lot of hot water. Water is heated by electricity as it's used, flowing through the heating device in the bigger bathroom. Getting the water hot enough for a shower is a bit of a challenge, but doable.

I didn't realize ahead of time that only the bedrooms were air-conditioned. I don't think I would have take a different place instead as a result, but you should be aware of this. The location is accessible enough by public transit, but other than the grocery store, a (wonderful) pizzeria and a fine restaurant, there's not much to do in the area. You'll be coming to the apartment to rest your head at the end of the day or to hide from the heat in the mid-afternoon, but you won't really be strolling around the area. On the bright side, the area is authentic, not full of tourists, prices are good and it's perfectly safe. As far as the apartment itself goes, the on thing I would suggest for the future is the option of a foldable cot that can be folded away into a closet, so that 3 people could sleep in one of the bedrooms. It might be crammed, but it'll be air conditioned.

Hermoso departamento, muy cómodo y con cercanía al metro que permite llegar a todos lados

The location, right on the main subway line, was excellent. Building and neighbourhood were safe and allowed easy access to the whole city. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Rome. Oh, the mattresses and pillows were really confortable.
