The Modern Roman

The Modern Roman: Lazio

You'll find this modern apartment just a short walk from the Spanish Steps. As far as sightseeing goes, this is the place to be – pretty much all of Rome is within easy reach, whether exploring on foot or hopping on public transit. Back home, the two bedrooms offer luxe en-suites – one with a freestanding bath, the other with a roomy light-up shower. The kitchen lacks a few essentials, but space-wise, it's big enough to rustle up a meal or two. But, seeing as you're in the birthplace of pasta, we suggest sampling the delicious cuisine in the nearby restaurants instead of cooking.

Home truths:
*The second bathroom has dual access from the bedroom and the hallway.
*There's an elevator in the building to reach this home's entrance on the first floor. However, there are some steps inside the actual apartment.
*The wi-fi can be temperamental here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
*This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space. It also lacks a few essentials, such as laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. We think it works best for shorter trips.
*Parking isn't provided, but with many landmarks in walking distance and a metro station nearby, a car isn't needed.
