Which Rome apartment? I'm booking today...
Last time I'm going to ask for advice on this (whew, you say!).
Here are the 2 apts I've narrowed it down to and I'm going to book one of them today:
Underground Viaggi, via del Pellegrino 81
http://www.rome-apartments-for-rent....pellegrino.asp
OR
Real Rome, Coronari 2 Bedroom
http://www.realrome.com/propcoronari2bed.html
As I see it the Pellegrino apt looks to have more furniture (a plus) and is on the first floor. The Coronari apt looks "fancier", but I'm not sure I care about that. Does anybody know anymore about this apt? Or the neighborhoods? Some have suggested that Pellegrino might be a little noisy at times, but they all agree it's a great location.
THANKS A TON!

Can only comment re. locations. First off, they are both charming, central, and convenient. Whichever you decide, you'll have made a great choice.
I don't the the Pellegrino apt. would be quite that noisy as it's 4 blocks from the Campo' dei Fiori. The street in narrow and doesn't have people "spilling out".
The Coronari would be very quiet as it's on a pedestrian only street that is mostly antique stores and such. It is very close to the restaurants on Via Governo Vecchio and the lovely Piazza Navona if you want some "not-so-quiet", however.

It's a hard call. The pellegrino looks great, I like the two livingrooms and the furniture...is the main bedroom in a closet on the ground floor, that could be cozy, photo's are shot with a lens that makes it look bigger than it is, so I am guessing it might be rather long and a bit darker. The coronari is a bit sparse, the front room furniture doesn't look all that comfortable, and it is on the 4 1/2 floor, so that is 5 1/2 flights of stairs. I agree they are both in a good area, if it were me, I would choose the pellegrino, but whichever you choose should be great.

the Coronari looks alot brighter and less crowded, I would chose that one. I love the Coronari area too, alot of good restaurants and shops. It is closed to auto traffic so it is quieter but near to everything.
The other one looks dark and dreary to me.

I think you will enjoy the apartment--I know you'll love the location. I wish I had scanned photos of that trip b/c I have some good ones of the front of the building and the bike shop next door.
And it was only noisy one night b/c there had been some huge soccer thing with teams from the UK, too. I don't think it was ordinary weekend noise.
Regardless, I hope your family loves Rome.
