Daplace – Flaminia Apartment

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across Daplace – Flaminia Apartment while wandering through Monti, and honestly, I’m kind of kicking myself for not finding it sooner. You know that feeling when you discover something that feels like a secret even though it’s been there all along? That’s this place. It’s tucked away on Via Baccina, which – if you don’t know Rome well – is one of those narrow cobblestone streets that feels completely removed from the tourist chaos, but you’re actually just a five-minute walk from the Colosseum. I mean, you can literally hear the tour groups in the distance, but somehow it feels like you’re in a completely different city.

The apartment itself has this lived-in quality that I actually love – it’s not trying too hard to be Instagram-perfect, you know? The rooms have character, with those thick walls that keep things surprisingly quiet (which matters because Roman traffic is no joke). What really got me was the little details: the way morning light filters through the windows, how the floors creak just slightly when you walk around, the fact that there’s actual space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The bathroom’s modern enough that you won’t be cursing Italian plumbing, and the kitchen – well, it’s small but functional if you want to grab groceries from the market down the street instead of eating out every meal.

But here’s the thing that sealed it for me: the location is absolutely perfect for how I like to experience Rome. You’re right in the heart of Monti, which means you’ve got those amazing little wine bars and family-run restaurants that locals actually go to. There’s this bakery about two blocks away that opens at 6 AM and makes these cornetti that are honestly better than anything I had in touristy areas. Plus, you can walk to major sites without feeling like you’re staying in a museum district – the Pantheon is maybe fifteen minutes on foot, and the Spanish Steps are totally doable if you don’t mind a bit of a climb. The metro’s close enough when your feet give out, but I found myself walking everywhere because the neighborhood’s just so pleasant to wander through. Check-in was straightforward (though like most places in Rome, don’t expect anyone to be rushing), and while it’s not going to blow you away with luxury touches, it delivers exactly what you want: a comfortable, authentic base in one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods. The 8.2 rating feels about right – it’s really solid without being flashy, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

  The location was fantastic with lots of great bars and restaurants beside flat. Check in through key box was great.
  
  What could be improved: The beds weren’t very comfortable and lacked pillows. Not suitable for more than 4 people as 3rd bed is in the living area. 1 Bathroom with the only toilet inside was not enough for 5 people either.
