What you see is what you get with Piccolino. It’s a tiny flat, and even having two people staying there might be too many (we have no idea what’s going on with the second bed, but it could be useful for storing suitcases), but what is there is very nice. We’re not talking designer furniture, but if it’s been thought through, as is the case here, there’s nothing necessarily wrong with stocking up at Ikea. The location is super vibrant and design buffs will particularly enjoy it. *You might not get an in-person check-in*There's no air conditioning, oven, or dishwasher*The decision to include a second bed above the first is genuinely perplexing*The main bed is only 140cm by 190cm, so it's not the largest*The shower's also only 190cm high – which should be fine for most, but tall people will notice Buzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingHair DryerKitchenLift AccessMicrowaveMultiple Sets of KeysNetflixRain ShowerTVWashing MachineWi-fi...More Details

Wall-sized oil paintings feel as though they’re on loan from the Uffizi, illuminated by a sparkling chandelier at night and sunlight from long windows during the day. There’s a dedicated, book-lined office should you need to work remotely and there’s something charmingly provincial about the dark wood kitchen. Then there’s the patio. Out here, between the porticoed verandas, vines twist along the walls and stained-glass windows add a sense of privacy. Coffee or cocktails can be taken at the wrought-iron dining set and sitting out here it’s hard to imagine you’re in the centre of Venice.

Despite a small footprint, Saguaro makes great use of the space it has. The mezzanine creates a feeling of openness while the colours brighten the place. We also really liked Iacopo, who we found really patient and helpful (even for a Plum host). The area is an interesting one, and depending on your point of view, could be considered a downside, as it’s a bit out of many of the main tourist hotspots. It is, however, an opportunity to experience Rome as a Roman would, free from the crowds and vendors. *Even though the apartment's on the ground floor, you have to go up and down some steps to reach the front door*The shower doesn't have a door, just a curtain*Guests 3 and 4 will be on a sofa bed in the living room Air ConditioningBicyclesBoard GamesBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsCot / CribDishwasherEspresso MachineExtra Pillows and BlanketsFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid KitFree ...More Details
