Recent posts discussing various Rome apartments(agencies) have been infomative. However most acccommodations mentioned are larger than we need. My wife and I are looking for just a room/bath with a kitchenette( morning coffee,microwave deal). Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks

Tony 25,

I would go to www.vrbo.com (vacation rentals by owners) as they have a few places listed that may fit your needs.

We didn't rent from vrbo.com when I was making our apartment reservations last March as I didn't know about the site, but on our next trip I will definitely look into some of the offerings.

You might want to look up www.sleepinitaly.com and check out their apartments. They have a short list, all hovering around 100 euros a night, that suit two people. They also have some B&Bs, the first of which might appeal to you. It is called Relais ai Banchi Vecchi, in the Campo dei Fiori area. It consists of a bedroom, bathroom, small kitchenette with mini-bar, and runs 130 euros a night (including breakfast served to you). I was very sorry it was not available the week my husband and I will be in Rome!

We used the B & B Association of Rome (which also has apartments) and loved it. We had a fabulous small 1 bedroom just off Campo de Fiori, but that sounds too big for you - they do have some smaller ones, though.

I'd suggest you do a quick search and then call them for help. They were very friendly and helpful when we used them.

Good luck!

Thank you for the tips on rental apts in Rome. Any more thoughts?

Hi Tony, Just wanted to let you know I have used the sleepinitaly site and I loved them! I have nothing but good things to say of their selections and service & I don't work for them either! I tell everyone I know who goes to Italy to check them out. I like staying in apartments when I go there too but I see they have some pretty decent B&B's also. Good luck in your findings! Eileen

I agree with the post above. I used www.sleepinitaly.com to book an apartment in Rome in July and we were thrilled with it. It was larger than you need and therefore I won't recommend it in particular. Check the site out. Once I was close to booking I called the travel agency and spoke to a very helpful person called Guilia who assisted me by answering some questions. They were very responsive to e-mail requests as well. I would highly recommend it. Good luck.
