Apartment advice please
 
I would appreciate any comments on the following apartments all through comfortitalia.com
1. Farnese I (off Piazza Farnese)
2. Argentina (Largo Arenula)
3. Pelligrino (Via del Pelligrino)
The website does dot show a map and I am having trouble with just where these are located. Any reviews or information would be appreciated. I did a search on this forum and at slow-trav also. Thank you.

OK - I'm going to guess these are in Rome.

But in any case - your title is nearly useless. "Apartment advice please" could be asking about anywhere -- Paris, London, Florence. Let alone very specific flats.

Try something like "comfortilia.com apartments in Rome. Locations/reviews?"

All three are good locations. If I was to rank the locations best to 3rd best:

1 Farnese
2 Pelligrino (VERY close 2nd)
3 Argentina

So sorry, yes it is Rome, I did post (I thought ) in the Italy forum and yes, I did the search for comfortitalia.com...just looking for any new input. Hope that is not a problem, please be patient with those of us new to this.

I agree with Bardo. But these apartments are priced fairly differently; is that okay with you?

There was a thread on slowtalk recently about how noisy via del Pellegrino is. I stayed there a few years ago (2 or 3?) and we had only one noisy night. It's a narrow street--to me quite charming--but voices really bounce off the cobblestones and walls of the buildings. As I said, this wasn't an issue for us but once. However, it may be something you'd find important.

On the other hand, those views from the various rooms in the via Arenula apartment are pretty nice, I'd say.

Tough choice.

jakes: You have received someuseful info -- but just FYI to help you use the forum in future:

there is no "Italy Forum". Just a general Europe board. All threads get lumped togther under Europe. Clicking on Italy merely lets folks search for info about Italy.

So it is always best to give your threads fairly detailed titles.

I think Piazza Farnese would be my first choice. These is a beautiful piazza, with a top restaurant and also a good and less expensive restaurant.

It really is lovely there and the apartment looks so nice. None of these are all that far apart from each other. I think you would be happy if you picked the apartment you liked best and that best suited your needs and budget. This is a fun and interesting part of Rome in which to stay.
