Apartments & Airbnb in Rome: Italy's CIN Rules & 8 Apartment Hotels (2026)

Trastevere: digital apartment buildings near the restaurants. Numa runs two apartment buildings at the southern end of Trastevere, near Viale di Trastevere, with self check-in, a virtual reception and no front desk. Numa Rome Trastevere has the widest range: a Large Studio with Kitchen and Terrace for two (37 square metres), one-bedroom apartments of 48 to 56 square metres for three or four, and a 68-square-metre two-bedroom for four, with a lift and a shared laundry room. It averages 4.7 on Google from 292 reviews.

It's not in the medieval lanes: Numa puts Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere 19 minutes away on foot, and Piazza Navona about half an hour. Tram 8 from Viale di Trastevere to Largo Argentina is the quick way into the centre. There's no one on site to hand you keys, so it suits travellers who are happy doing everything by phone. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony and a sofa bed was €116 at Numa's member price (sign-up is free), city tax extra; the studio with a kitchen was sold out that night.

Numa Rome Verso is the bigger-flat option around the corner, by the Porta Portese gate: one-bedroom apartments of 36 and 44 square metres and a 54-square-metre two-bedroom, each with a kitchen, a sofa bed and a balcony, sleeping up to four or six. There's a lift, luggage lockers and a pizzeria on the ground floor. It scores 4.8 on Google, the highest of the apartment buildings here.

The Porta Portese flea market sets up right outside every Sunday, which is fun if you're a browser and loud if your apartment faces the street; Numa itself warns that street-facing rooms can catch the noise. Numa's guests get access to a local gym. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the large one-bedroom (36 square metres, up to four guests) was €125 at the member price, city tax extra; the other two types were sold out.

The Tridente and the Spanish Steps: apartments in palazzi. The Tridente, between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, is the smart shopping district, with line A at Spagna and Flaminio. InCentrum has 19 apartments in two Renaissance buildings on Via del Babuino and Via Vittoria, in three types (Studio, Superior and Prime), mixing design furniture with antiques. It's set up for stays of three nights or more, including long work trips, and it has staff to help plan your stay.

It's a small operation with only 21 Google reviews, so there's less feedback to go on than for the big buildings, and the address is about 8 minutes' walk from the Spanish Steps at the Piazza del Popolo end. Contact it directly to choose the building and the apartment type. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the Vittoria Studio was €150 room only, non-refundable, city tax extra; other apartments had two- or three-night minimums or weren't available.

Crossing Condotti is a nine-room boutique guesthouse on three floors, between the Spanish Steps and Via Condotti, about 2 minutes' walk from the top of the Spanish Steps. The rooms can be joined up, and the 2-bedroom Family Suite has a kitchenette and living space. For a true apartment, it also runs Crossing Corso, a fully equipped flat just down the street with two bathrooms and a modern Italian kitchen. It scores 4.8 on Google from 84 reviews.

A kitchenette is not a full kitchen, so families who want to cook should ask for Crossing Corso. This is the polished end of town, and the prices match the address; no rate is shown here for Tuesday 19 January 2027, so check your dates on its own site.

Babuino Palace & Suites is a non-smoking guesthouse on Via del Babuino, a few steps from Piazza del Popolo, with express check-in and check-out. Most of it is suites, but it has one apartment with a private terrace, a large living room, one bedroom and an equipped kitchen, which is the one to ask for.

Only that one unit has a kitchen; the suites have a minibar, a coffee machine and a tea kit. With 80 Google reviews averaging 4.5, it's a small place, and the apartment is the kind that books up early. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the cheapest unit, a Superior Double Room (not the apartment), was €147.60 non-refundable, city tax extra.

Ancient Rome: a suite with a kitchen by the Forum. Palazzo Velabro is on Via del Velabro, in the ancient valley between the Palatine and the Capitoline hills, with the Bocca della Verità and the Circus Maximus close by and the Roman Forum a short walk. Its slogan is 'A room is not enough', and its suites come with kitchens and, the hotel says, views over the city and the Roman Forum. There's a family suite too. It shows its CIN, IT058091A1L7RGG3HP, on its own website.

It's a high-end hotel with suites rather than a budget apartment. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the cheapest unit, a Velabro Superior Room, was €314 with breakfast, non-refundable, with the city tax included; that's a room without a kitchen, so the suites cost more. Book a suite if you want to cook. The Colosseum is about 13 minutes' walk; for stays of more than 7 nights, the hotel asks you to email it.

Termini: a full kitchen, close to the trains. Crosti Apartments are on Via Villafranca, a quiet side street near Termini and Castro Pretorio Metro (line B), the apartment side of the family-run 3-star Crosti Hotel on nearby Via Castelfidardo. The apartments are Junior Suites of 35 to 45 square metres and Junior Suites Superior of 35 to 70 square metres with a private terrace, and each has a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a fridge.

This is the most practical kitchen-and-laundry set-up on the page, for families or a week's stay, but the area is the Termini station district rather than a pretty one; see our Rome safety guide. It scores 4.1 on Google from 53 reviews. For Tuesday 19 January 2027 the shared Crosti booking engine offered no apartments, only the hotel's rooms, so check your dates.

The Vatican side: a pool and space, a ride from the sights. Aparthotel Adagio Rome Vatican is the big one: 104 apartments, each with a fully fitted kitchen, from 25-square-metre studios for two to 60-square-metre one-bedroom apartments for four, in Balduina, a green residential district north-west of the Vatican. It has an outdoor pool from May to September, and breakfast is free for under-16s with a paying adult. It has 1,584 Google reviews averaging 4.1.

Location is the catch: it's a residential area outside the centre, so every trip starts with the FL3 train from Balduina or the 990 bus, and the Vatican is not a walk. The pool is booked daily with the lifeguard, for up to 2 hours a day. For a family in summer who want a kitchen, space and a swim, that can be worth it; for a short first visit, stay central. It's also the cheapest on this page: a Superior studio for two was €85.71 room only, non-refundable, for Tuesday 19 January 2027, city tax extra.
