Delightful holiday haven

David has taken a lot of care to make a traveller's roman holiday experience a delight. This was the first trip with our children and it felt like home away from home. The apartment was beautifully presented, comfortable, clean, organised and provided detailed instructions and information about how to use both its amenities but also local sites and attractions. The beautiful artwork and dozens of books on rome are special too! Everything is neatly labelled and includes board games for the kids, welcoming supply of coffee and other food supplies,. It was perfectly situated to enable us to walk to all the main sites, grocery stores around the corner and the air conditioning was great after the July heat. We definitely recommend David's apartment and hope to stay again on any future trips to Rome. Thanks David!!!

Spanish Steps Apartment was Fabulous for our Family Stay

The host was amazing, responding to several inquiries quickly and going above and beyond in making our visit a success. The location was wonderful, making it easy to walk to most key sites and had a convenient taxi rank just down the block that we used several times. The apartment was quiet and everything we needed for a memorable family trip with our two daughters. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Your own apartment in Rome

We really enjoyed our stay here with our two adult sons (early 20's). The apartment is even larger than expected and perfect for a family of four. We loved unwinding together in the spacious living room and having the second bedroom/second bathroom. The owner is a pro at communication and the guest services staff located nearby were very responsive. We also appreciated the included airport pick-up and early check-in on day of arrival, which makes a huge difference when you're jet lagged. Thanks for opening your wonderful apartment to us!

Fantastico!

We spent an amazing week over Christmas here. This rental was exactly as described and perfect for our family of four. Rosie the property manager was lovely and David the owner is a wonderful communicator. The inclusion of a pickup from the airport feels luxurious after a long flight and then Rosie and David helped organize our booking of a return ride with the same car service for our departure. We also so appreciated David’s guest guide book with its many suggestions- we made an amazing Christmas dinner with steaks from Antica Macelleria Annibale and we enjoyed a dinner at La Bottega del Caffe at Piazza Della Madonna. The apartment is fantastic and the location is prime. We walked ALL OVER the city from here. Christmas night we stayed up past midnight and walked a few minutes to the Trevi Fountain and had it nearly all to ourselves which was magical. We would 100% stay here again and highly reccomend.

4th Stay at The Spanish Steps Apartment

The Spanish Steps Apartment is everything it is hyped up to be. This is our fourth stay at the apartment since 2016. The apartment is beautifully furnished, comfortable, spacious, and has every amenity that you would have in your own home. And the location cannot be underestimated - in the historic section of Rome, mid-way between the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. David, the owner, is the consummate host, from the time you set foot in Rome with an airport chauffeur to providing detailed information about the apartment, a lovely property manager, and all the information you would want plus more on visiting Rome - sights, dining, coffee, gelato, shopping, you name it. On this trip, we visited many lesser known sights; David's recent recommenation about the The Museum of the Forma Urbis (archaelogy map museum) was spot on and fabulous. We have scheduled our visits to Rome around the availability of The Spanish Steps Apartment and encourage you to do so too!

Well-stocked apartment in great location.

The apartment is well stocked with everything you need. Read the extensive apartment guide. The apartment is a short walk to Trevi Fountain or Spanish steps. It is one short flight of steps up - or you can use the little elevator. Aircon is European style in both bedrooms and living room. The hosts were great to communicate with. They did a helpful check in and were available if needed. The free transfer from the airport or train station was a nice touch and a great start to the stay.

Simply the best!

This was my second stay at the Spanish Steps Apartment and it is even better than I remember! From the moment I booked the apartment, every detail was handled quickly and efficiently. The owner and property manager are both wonderful and always available to help in any way possible. The apartment itself is even better than described...it has every amenity you can imagine, it's impeccably clean, great air conditioning, and it's in a central location that puts all of Rome at your doorstep. But I think it's all of the little extras that really make this apartment stand out, from the fantastic guide book down to the extra outlet adapters and canvas shopping bags, every detail has been thought of and provided for. It is truly a home in every sense of the word. I highly recommend this apartment and I look forward to my next stay here.

Great stay in Rome

This apartment was great for my family of three's week-long stay in Rome. It was very clean, had consistent hot water and working air conditioning, and is extremely conveniently located in a major tourist area. The windows were also of high quality, so noise was not an issue. Rosie did a nice job welcoming us and orienting us to the apartment. The kitchen is small, so don't expect to cook meals in it comfortably--but otherwise, this is a great place to stay.

The PERFECT stay in Rome

We were SO fortunate to fall on this listing for a last minute family trip to Rome, this apartment is absolutely perfect in every way.The best part is that you are central to every possible site you will want to visit. From our booking to our departure, the host was super helpful and available to assist us. Rosie (guest services) was so gracious and kind, the first thing our kids said when she left was "we feel like this is our home!".This appartement has ALL the amenities you could think of with all the comforts of home. Our family especially appreciated the art, old maps, games,and numerous books and literature throughout the appartement. We had convinced ourselves that all we needed was a place to rest our head at the end of a day of visiting, but quickly realized that we had been very wrong. With high heat warnings and temps going up to 45C during our stay, we were so grateful to have made the choice of this appartement. We would run back every afternoon to cool down in the AC and enjoy the space and amenities. The times shared here and the beauty of Rome and this special appartement will stay in our hearts forever. We will definitely be back.

Excellent Stay

We had a wonderful stay. We are a family of 4 and had plenty of space for all of us. If you are reading this review contemplating to book or not, I say BOOK IT! I would only stay here if returning to Rome. I am in the hospitality industry and David the owner doesn't miss a beat. It has every amenity that a traveler needs to have an incredible stay and you truly feel like it is a home away from home. Location was amazing. You can walk to everything, and the area is superb. Rosie greeted us to tour the apartment and was so welcoming. She surprised us with some yummy snacks and staples in the refrigerator to get us started. Again, both David and Rosie go way above and beyond to make sure our stay was excellent. We will be back for sure.

Five star rental

This is an incredibly comfortable, well-equipped apartment in a great location (between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain). The host is superb and the manager, Rosie, is a great help if help is needed (e.g., ordering a car to return to the airport when you leave). It’s also unusual in having two bathrooms as well as two large, nice bedrooms. There’s a great variety of really nice restaurants and cafes within a short walk. This was our third trip to Rome, and we were very, very pleased.

Roman Vacation

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a driver who kindly transferred us to the apartment. This service is greatly appreciated after a long flight. The apartment was exactly as advertised. We had ample room for our family of four. The living room and dining rooms are separated, which made for enjoyable dining inside the apartment. My boys loved the selection of Roman-themed movies and chess game. There were loads of Roman-themed books, too! Location can’t be beat. We walked to all the major sites and didn’t even need public transport. We were also pleasantly surprised how quiet it was. Security was outstanding. Thanks for a great stay!

Transportation from the airport and meeting with the housekeeper went perfectly. The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by David Colin

Host profile image
I was born and raised here in Rome. In the late 1960's, my father was one of the founders of the American University of Rome (AUR), and, indeed, the apartment was the administrative office and classroom (and impromptu party space) for AUR over a number of years. So, the apartment has been in my family for more than 50 years.

Although I now live near Washington, DC, where I am an economist, I come back to Rome as often as possible. Despite all my time here, Rome continues to be a fascinating city that always has more to offer. I hope you find the Eternal City as welcoming and wonderful as I do.

Why they chose this property

This apartment has been in my family for more than 50 years, was completely remodeled and furnished in late 2010, and is available for rental as a self-catering apartment. Upon booking, I will send you a detailed Guest Guide information package on the apartment, the neighborhood, restaurants, your guides, sights, etc. We offer one complimentary airport or train station arrival pick-up for our guests and early check-in, and our guest services manager will meet you at your arrival. Linens, welcome snacks and beverages, utilities, wifi, taxes, check-in/check-out, and end of stay cleaning are all included in the price. Additional car service or cleaning/linens can be arranged.

What makes this property unique

In the heart of Rome's Historic Center, just around the corner from the famous Spanish Steps, this spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is surrounded by fine dining and fabulous shopping. It is within walking distance of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and many other historic sites and museums, and near the subway, taxi stands, and bus stops. Located in a traditional Roman palazzo, the apartment was fully renovated in 2010 and is available for rental (5 night minimum).
