With a combination of old-fashioned furniture and modern flourishes, Silk Road manages to retain an understanding of Rome’s history without getting bogged down in recreating the past. It’s not a simple balancing act, and for the most part, Silk Road pulls it off. And, as should go without saying, having the Pantheon about 100m away is not to be sniffed at (as long as you can handle the tourists that accompany it).

Home truths
Given how close the Pantheon is, there's a lot of movement outside at all hours, as well as the noise you'd expect
The windows in the second bedroom are high up and hard to open
A lot of the flat gets quite dark if you rely on natural light
The bathroom is a lot more simple than the rest of the flat, and the shower's only 190cm high
As there are a lot of antiques, Alex would prefer not to have children staying

Local guide
About Pantheon
Pantheon is usually thronged with architectural and religious pilgrims, all on the hunt for the church. This fascination, which comes both from sheer wonder, and also a more complex response to a temple that has been dedicated to a variety of creeds, has understandably packed the surrounding streets with sellers of tat and bad ice cream. This is one of Rome's loudest areas, with the restaurants and bars staying open...
