This apartment sits in a historic building from 1885, right in the heart of San Lorenzo. Local restaurants are just a stroll away, and it's an easy train ride to major sights like the Colosseum. Inside, details like the parquet floors, high ceilings and ornate mouldings add to the old-world character while still feeling contemporary. There's a sofa bed in the living room for bigger groups, while the second bedroom even has its own balcony. You also get access to a shared rooftop terrace, perfect for sunbathing or enjoying complimentary coffee while looking out over Rome’s rooftops.
