Rome's reputation is well deserved. It was the mother and model of many European towns. London was the Roman Londinium, Paris was Parisiorum, Lyon was Lugudunum, Milan was Mediolanum and so on.

Rome was also the model of subsequent urban planning and layout, and of architecture. Yet probably in housing Romans excelled and inspired all European towns. They invented apartment buildings, plumbing, the sheer concept of bathing and of gardening. Also in the following eras Rome and Italy inspired housing and interior decoration. High standard Rome apartments were the accommodations of British travellers in the Grand Tour. You find many apartments for rent in Rome, you should seek reputable owners and agents.

You find attics or pentouses with terrace, but also charming units with patios also in the centre. The location is important, you should stay in one of the famous areas of the centre, like the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona or Campo de' Fiori.

You should inquire well about the quality and size, not only about the price. You should prefer apartments with an adequate number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and suiting your budget. It is of the essence that you rent from a trusted agency, with good reputation.
