What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Rome?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Rome is like. They answered...
"We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (140 square meter) apartment with 3 separate balconies. This is typical for the type of housing available in the city. A little further out of the center, you can find "villinos" which are like townhouses or even villas with gardens. Apartments here are either furnished or unfurnished. In an unfurnished apartment, you may even have to provide your own lights, kitchen appliances and counters," said another expat in Rome, Italy.
"Expat homes and apartments in Rome are typically spacious and modern, with high ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Many apartments have balconies or terraces, offering stunning views of the city. Expat homes and apartments are often located in the city center, close to popular attractions, restaurants, and shops. They are typically well-equipped with modern appliances and amenities, such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable TV," wrote a member who made the move to Rome, Italy.
