Rome's centro storico (historic district) is full of life and is without a doubt, where the locals do their shopping. Via del Corso is a long street lined with shops that is closed off to vehicles on weekends. Via del Babuino and Via Margutta run along the foot of the Pincian Hill and have been renowned for their art galleries and studios since the 15th century. Lastly, Piazza di Spagna and Via Condotti are without a doubt the places to go for all the top names in Italian and international fashion.
The apartment itself is situated in a historic building on a small, quiet street lined with shops, near public transportation (metro and minibus) and within walking distance of St. Peter's Basilica (20 minutes), and the Capitoline and Borghese museums (30 minutes).
This charming, quiet and spacious fourth-floor studio apartment (31 m²) has been completely renovated in early 2013. There is no elevator in the building. The apartment features sloped ceilings and a small balcony that offers an unrestricted view of the city skyline, the Villa Medici, the Trinità dei Monti church, and the Basilica di San Pietro (St. Peter’s Basilica). Exposed ceiling beams, wooden furniture, and light colours make this bright apartment very cosy and charming.

A 3m² walking-closet gives on the living room.
There is a table and two chairs set up on the balcony (3.70 m² - southeast facing). The front door to the apartment is in the living room.
