When looking for accommodation in Rome, you quickly discover that there are tons of options and it can be difficult to navigate.

For this trip, I focused on looking for affordable accommodation with good location and as high rating as possible within my budget.

The result was a lovely apartment hotel called Ripetta Terrace Suites, which was within walking distance of the tourist attraction, the Spanish Steps.

Rapidly after I booked the hotel, an email appeared in the inbox where the same hotel asked me when I planned to arrive and if there was anything they could do. Excellent service is always appreciated, and I asked for advice about where to park. The hotel had affordable parking nearby, and I quickly found it by following directions.

The rooms were clean, spacious, had full cover curtains and a large bathroom. There was no balcony, but a large rooftop terrace for all hotel guests to use.
