Spanish Steps Charming Apartment

Great location, plenty of room for us and we really enjoyed the free concerts in the evening. We could hear a women singing opera the last few nights, assuming from Spanish Steps…it was wonderful!!!

Location, location, location—perfectly tucked just behind the Spanish Steps. The apartment was neat and tidy, and the host was easy and responsive to communicate with. Ideal for a vacation with older kids, especially with the loft-style bedrooms that give everyone a bit of their own space. Would absolutely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed in the Spanish Steps Apartment for six nights, and the name couldn’t be more fitting. The apartment sits right at the top of the Spanish Steps, so you walk down to leave and climb back up to return. The steps themselves consist of 135 marble stairs, or about 100 if you take the northern path near the metro.Although we never met Eugenia in person, she was very responsive and attentive through electronic communication. The sleeping areas are elevated above the main floor and accessed via open stairways, while both bathrooms are conveniently located on the main level. The apartment was clean by most standards, though it is an older building.The metro is conveniently close, and the washing machine works well. The internet connection is strong on the main floor but less reliable in the walled bedroom.The kitchen includes a small microwave that doubles as an oven, but there is no toaster, which is unusual for Italian apartments. It took us some time to figure out the electrical outlets, as some only work when certain light switches are turned on.The apartment is located on level -2, two floors below the building entrance. While there is an elevator, be aware that you must navigate four steps when entering the building and another four steps after exiting the elevator to reach the apartment. Inside the apartment, there are also two steps between the kitchen and main room.

Great location but curtains need repair, more bed pillows are needed (one per person isn’t enough) more blankets are needed that are laundered and the place needs to be cleaned out. Black mold on the tiles in green/ yellow bath. A/C works well after we cleaned the filter upstairs. Easy fixes.
