The Rome IndexApartments & long stays
Renting an apartment in Rome for a week or longer — what to know before you book.
Why rent instead of a hotel
A kitchen and washing machine make a real difference on stays over five days, and apartments are often better value per person for groups or families.
Rome's short-let rules
Legitimate listings must register with the city and display a CIN (Codice Identificativo Nazionale) — a useful way to sanity-check a listing before booking.
Where to look
Centro Storico and Monti apartments book out earliest for spring and autumn — reserve at least 6–8 weeks ahead for those windows.
