ALL THE COMFORT AND AMENITIES OF A LUXURY PRIVATE HOME: The Spanish Steps Apartment on Via della Mercede is a spacious (1,500+ square feet), elegant and comfortable apartment, consisting of a large and bright living room, separate dining room, large bedroom with king-size bed, second bedroom with two twin beds, one bathroom with tub/shower, second bathroom with small glass shower, and fully-equipped kitchen. The large bedroom also has a twin bed in case two people want to share the room but not share the king-size bed (4 person maximum). The apartment has double pane windows to keep it quiet and beautiful wood floors, and is decorated with high-end contemporary furniture and art.

The apartment is on the first floor (one floor above the ground level). It is up approximately 20 shallow steps, or you may use the small elevator. The palazzo entrance on Via della Mercede is through big double doors; there is also a security gate. The neighborhood is quite safe, with a significant police presence due to the number of government buildings and the fact that it is a high-end tourist area.

The apartment is within walking distance of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and many other historic sites and museums, as well as the subway, taxi stands, and bus stops. Located in a traditional Roman palazzo, the apartment was completely remodeled and furnished in late 2010 and is available as a self-catering apartment.

The is my treasured second home, and has been in my family since the 1960's.

Before me: My father, David T. Colin, had come to Rome in World War II, when he was with American military, the legendary Office of Strategic Services run by "Wild Bill" Donovan. After the war, my father returned to Rome, the city that he had fallen in love with, and purchased the apartment. During the late 1960's, he was one of the founders of the American University of Rome (AUR), and, indeed, the apartment was the administrative office (and impromptu party space) for AUR over a number of years. Early me: I was born and raised here in Rome. As a child, I acted in two horror films here in Italy, credited as David Colin Jr. The first was called "Beyond the Door" (1974) and starred actress Juliet Mills. The second, "Beyond the Door II" (1977), starred the "queen" of Italian horror movies, Daria Nicolodi, and was directed by Mario Bava, an Italian director with a cult following for his long line of horror films. Today's me: Although I now live near Washington, DC, where I am an economist, I come back to Rome as often as possible. Despite all my time here, Rome continues to be a fascinating city that always has more to offer. I hope you find the Eternal City as welcoming and wonderful as I do. That's why my goal as a host is to make it easy for you so that you can live like a local with the comforts you're used to having back home.
