Familiar with Campo di Fiori apartment?
 
Am wondering if anyone has stayed at an apartment in Campo di Fiore that the Bed & Breakfast Assoc. of Rome has listed..."Cod 001?" (www.b-b.rm.it) We have booked it for June for our family of four...although I think it will be fine, I am worried it may be quite small and perhaps in a noisy location. Thanks for any thoughts!

500 sq ft. seems fine to me - that's about average for a 1BR apt. in that part of Rome. The map on the website is not useful since you can't zoom in. What is the actual street address??

Thanks Bardo. The address is Via dei Balestrari, 43. I can't quite tell if that itself is a very busy street, or just near one. I was actually able to better locate it through other apartment rental websites' maps.

I'm wondering how it sleeps 4? Given the description, "The unit, which sleeps four, consists of a living room with a twin size sofa bed and a TV, a bedroom with queen size bed, a bathroom with a stall shower, and a well equipped kitchen with a microwave oven." Where is the 4th bed?

Oh, maybe they are trying to say that the sofa sleeps 2?

The pictures look nice!

The apartment is in fact right on the south-west corner of the square. There could be some noise from patrons at the outdoor cafes at night. There won't be a much auto traffic at least.

Wliwl yes, I inquired about the sleeping arrangements for four, and apparently the "twin sofa" sleeps two. Truthfully, everything else I looked at in that area or Navona/Pantheon was booked when I researched in March. Bardo, thanks for the specific location info...hopefully the A/C will work well enough that we can close our windows at night to avoid the noise. It was the terrace that appealed to my senses!
