As a good alternative to cramped and impersonal hotel rooms, vacation rentals offer freedom and an authentic experience.

1. Staying With the Whole Family

Hotel rooms are typically smaller than the average rental apartment and offer a single room. Vacation rentals offer more larger, and made up of several rooms offering privacy for the whole family. While you may struggle to find a comfortable hotel room, there are many apartments in Rome for four or more people. Even if you aren’t visiting Rome in a large group, having your own kitchen and living room are strong advantages over staying in a hotel.

2. The Local Experience

To really get to know the city of Rome you need to live the culture of Rome; staying in a vacation rental offers the unique experience of totally immersing yourself  in the local culture. By living like a local, staying in your vacation rental gives you the authentic experience of buying groceries at the nearby market, cooking and eating in the comfort of your own home, and blending into daily Roman life. Your neighbors will be locals; you will be surrounded by Roman markets, shops and restaurants; and you’re able to be truly immersed in the Roman lifestyle.

Apartments in Rome with terraces give you beautiful views of the bustling city life in the streets below, and vacation rentals with elevators make getting up and down much easier.
