hrmkr Posted December 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hello, We will be in Rome for 3 days before leaving on a cruise. We are thinking about staying at a Airbnb and would like to know the best area to stay to be near most attractions. I someone could give streets to be near that would be great. I can zoom in when searching to pinpoint the best places. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmkr Posted December 3, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Sorry. I may have tried to be to specific. If possible, maybe suggest near Vatican or near a certain landmark. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted December 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The most central area is roughly bound by Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and Campo de Fiori. From this area you can walk to pretty much everything. The two furthest points would be the Vatican museums and the Colosseum, each about a mile and a half away.

Carolyn R Posted December 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We stayed at an Air bnb just north of the Piazza Navona. Very convenient to everything in central Rome. The only thing to remember is to insure your reservation in case you should need to cancel. I love airbnb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Spanish Steps - close to everything. Avoid Termini Station area Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmkr Posted December 3, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Starting to look in the suggested area. Would Airbnb's be cheaper or about the same price as a hotel in the same area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted December 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Starting to look in the suggested area. Would Airbnb's be cheaper or about the same price as a hotel in the same area? No help from us on Air B and B (sore point for many of us SF Bay Area residents due to greedy property owners et al.) Though it often books up almost a year in advance, check into the Garibaldi Suites- walking substance to the Spanish Steps. It's a hybrid boutique hotel/BandB, with good restaurant below and terrific reviews. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted December 4, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2017 There are some good hotels in the Termini area, have a look at the hotels on Via Cavour and in the area of Piazza della Repubblica. From here it's a twenty minute walk to the Colosseum & Forum and you pass one of the hidden gems of Rome, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore. Metro station outside Termini was very handy for getting around, especially to the Vatican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Jane Posted December 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 4, 2017 How about staying in a convent? Always do that when in Rome it just feels "right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Tom Posted December 6, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Get a Rick Steves book on Rome. Lots of good recommendations there. In general, we like to stay a couple of blocks from a metro station. Once on the metro, you can go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted December 6, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Except that the metro in Rome isn't very useful for tourists. When they eventually finish the new line that will change but right now it's really only useful for getting from the outside in, or for getting over to the Vatican museums, and then only if you are starting from a point near a metro stop.

2specialkidsforme Posted December 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I love staying in the Trevi area. Easy to walk to many sites and I love getting up early to eat breakfast by the Trevi fountain before any crowds appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
