Calling all history buffs. This apartment is a ten-minute walk from Circus Maximus and twenty from the Colosseum. It's a prime locale for sightseeing, though if shopping and sampling Italian cuisine is more your speed, you're never too far from a delicious restaurant or the fashionable boutiques in the city centre. Contemporary to a T, the building has a communal gym and a smart home system. It's not the biggest in terms of space, especially with one guest on the sofa bed, but we think the private balcony is a sweet bonus – there's no better spot to enjoy an Aperol Spritz.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We rejected 3,417 homes in Rome, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About San Saba
Bordering Testaccio to the west, San Saba is a similarly working-class neighbourhood.
