Factors to Consider When Looking for An Apartment in Rome
Finding an apartment in Rome can be challenging for most visitors due to the many options available. Here are the primary factors you should consider when looking for an apartment in Rome.

Book your apartment in Rome at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for travel during spring and autumn, to secure better rates and availability before demand spikes.

Location

Rome is one of the largest cities in Italy. Each neighborhood has its own characteristics. If you are on vacation and want to enjoy Roman culture and history, renting an apartment near the attractions is recommended. For example, staying in Trastevere provides easy access to sites such as Janiculum Hill, Basilica of Santa Maria, and Ponte Sisto.

This district is suitable for a romantic getaway due to its scenic views and relaxed atmosphere. You can also visit the Testaccio district for traditional and modern Roman cuisine. There is no shortage of restaurants where you can enjoy traditional Romanian drinks and dishes, such as Ciorba de fasole cu ciolan, a hearty bean soup served with tender smoked ham hock.

To reach Trastevere quickly from Rome Termini station, take the regional train (Linea FL1) toward Fiumicino Aeroporto and get off at Trastevere station—it's a 10-minute ride and more affordable than taxis.

“

“When choosing a holiday apartment in Rome, prioritize location over luxury. Staying in neighborhoods like Trastevere or Monti not only immerses you in local culture but also keeps you within walking distance of key sites, allowing for spontaneous exploration of the city's lesser-known spots.”

Lucia Ferri/ Travel Consultant and Rome Specialist

Cost

The cost of short-stay apartments varies depending on factors like neighborhood, apartment size, included amenities, and the number of guests.

For instance, the average cost for one person in a standard apartment in Trastevere is €89 per night. Some luxurious apartments charge up to €300 per night. If visiting as a group, consider a double-occupancy apartment, averaging around €117 per night.

Visit Trastevere during late autumn or winter months when apartment rates often drop by 20-30%, allowing you to enjoy the area at a lower cost with fewer tourists around.

Transport

Rome has an efficient public transport system, which includes electric trains, buses, and trams. You can use any of them to visit various attractions or hire a taxi for between €6 and €8 per ride. This flexibility allows you to rent your apartment in any area of the city and still be easily within reach of major attractions.

Buy a single integrated ticket (BIT) valid for buses, trams, and metro within 100 minutes to save money instead of paying separate fares each time you board public transport in Rome.

Layout and Size

Consider the amount of space you need. A larger apartment (900 square feet or more) is ideal for visiting as a group or with your family. If you intend to travel alone, you can rent a studio apartment to save money during your stay in Rome.

If booking a larger apartment in central Rome, check if it features access to a nearby weekly outdoor market—shopping there can save on groceries and provide fresh local produce during your stay.

Amenities

Create a checklist of the amenities you will require and use it to compare the apartments. For example, if you plan to visit Rome during summer, ensure the apartment has air conditioning as temperatures often reach up to 31 degrees Celsius in the afternoons. Some amenities you can expect to find in apartments for rent in Rome include: High-speed WiFi, 24/7 emergency on-call number, Washing machine, Kitchen appliances (microwave, pots and pans, utensils, plates, refrigerator), Starter kit with towels and linen, TV, Hot tub, and more.

Reputation

The reputation of a short-stay or vacation apartment in Rome will give you an idea of the quality of accommodation services offered. Check reviews posted by other visitors on websites such as Booking.com and Airbnb before booking to ensure value for money. Avoid apartments with a negative reputation. If you have any special requirements, please seek clarification before booking to avoid inconveniences.

Timing

Rome is a popular tourist destination that receives visitors year-round. As a result, expect to pay more per night during peak seasons, such as Christmas and New Year. Most apartments are discounted during the low season, which lasts throughout the winter (from December 21st to March 21st).

Types of Rome Apartments you can choose from

As mentioned earlier, Rome has a diverse short-stay apartment housing landscape. You can find a modern apartment for rent in Rome’s city center and the suburbs. Here are two main types of apartments in Rome that you can choose during your vacation or business trip.

Luxury Apartments for Rent in Rome
Luxury apartments are typically located in high-end districts such as Piazza, Pantheon, and Navona. Rates usually start from €250 per night. During peak season, some apartments charge up to €600 per night, but the amenities and services they offer can justify the cost if your budget allows. They are located near top-rated restaurants and shopping areas.

The best websites to find accurate information about luxury apartments in Rome are; Booking.com, Airbnb, Trivago, Expedia, and Trip.com.

One-Bedroom Apartments in Rome

As you compare prices, remember to inquire about any extra fees. For example, some apartments charge early check-in and late check-out fees and a security deposit. The rental agreement usually explains these costs, so read it before signing.
