- marcela (8/5): Bien ubicado, cómodo y funcional - La ubicación, es un depto con 2 habitaciones y una pequeña Kitchenette compartida, personal amable, pude dejar las maletas buen internet y muy limpio. el precio

- martina (9/5): - Muy comodo y la ubicacion es genial. Adriana que nos recibio muy amable. La ubicacion es clave para una primera vez en roma ya que esta todo cerca y es bien centrico. Capaz si no es la primera vez, elegiría algun lugar menos concurrido por los turistas.

- leidy kathalina (9/5): Perfect location and amazing host! - The best location you can find in Rome for sure!
The host was super kind, friendly and helpful. The bathroom door was a bit difficult to handle, and there was a slight odor from the drains in the bathroom in the morning.
- Barrios (10/5): Ubicación privilegiada - El alojamiento tiene una ubicación privilegiada, inmejorable!!
La habitación es pequeña pero bien distribuida, limpia y cómoda. Cuenta con frigobar lo cual suma mucho. El baño es moderno y cómodo. Funciona todo muy bien.
Las áreas comunes también estaban muy limpias y parecía cómodo aunque no las usamos casi. Si bien se dejan indicaciones estrictas para el chek in (nos comentó que si no seguíamos las indicaciones enviadas por video nos cobraría una multa) el proceso no resultó como se planificaba. No representó mayor inconveniente porque pudimos solucionarlo por una videollamada por WhatsApp, pero tener en cuenta que si no se cuenta con internet probablemente duermas en la calle la primer noche
- Nicola (9/5): Fantastic stay - Amazing location
- Mateusz (10/5): - Lokalizacja, obsługa, czystość Jedyna wada to niesprawne drzwi łazienkowe, ale nie stanowiło to bardzo dużego problemu :)
- Lo Vuolo (8/5): - La ubicación y la atención de la anfitriona, dispuesta siempre, muy amable. Olor en el baño.
- Roberto (6/5): -
- Aleksandra (10/5): Everything was fantastic! - Rating: 10/10
Great place! The location is excellent, with everything within easy reach. The staff were very kind, helpful, and highly communicative — the contact was smooth and effortless. The property was very clean, which is extremely important to me.
A wonderful and very thoughtful surprise was a beautiful birthday gift prepared for me — such a lovely gesture that made my stay even more special and memorable.
I highly recommend this place and would gladly come back! Nothing — everything was perfect!
- Muhammed Emin (7/5): - Konumu müthişti. Trevi çeşmesinin hemen orada. Misafirperver bir sahibi vardı. Odalar fazla ses geçiriyor malesef. Yan odaya girip çıkan oldukça sürekli uyandık. Onun dışında olumsuz bir yanı yoktu.
- Ayelen (10/5): Buena - La
Ubicación y la amabilidad del dueño Que si pasas el horario de ingreso tenes q hacerte el check in solo y te dan mal los códigos para que puedas abrir las puertas
- Federica (10/5): Perfetto - Soggiorno davvero perfetto! La struttura ha una posizione più che eccellente, a due passi dalla Fontana di Trevi e a pochi metri da tutte le altre attrazioni principali della città. La camera é molto semplice, ma ha tutto il necessario. Inoltre, la ragazza che ci ha accolti è stata molto gentile e ci ha permesso di lasciare i bagagli per qualche ora dopo il check out. Ci ritorneremo volentieri!
- Giocard (6/5): Così così - La posizione. Rumoroso, un po' datato.
- De angelis (8/5): -
- Coltura (5/5): - The location was great. Nice and quite despite being around the corner from the Trevi Fountain. The facets in the shower and bathroom leaked. The coffee maker did not work. When asked about the closest taxi stand for an airport transfer on departure day, the property manager suggested a limousine service as the chances of finding a taxi at 2:30 in the morning were slim. The vehicle that picked us up was far from a limousine. It was a dirty and old car. This was not a limousine service. It was a taxi, at best.
- Alena (10/5): Ubytování kousek od fontány di Trevi - Naprostá spokojenost. Blízko fontány, ráno jsme si přivstali a užili si fontánu bez davů lidí. Hned naproti vchodu restaurace, kde jsme se dobře najedli a kousek od ubytování i potraviny. Perfektní domluva. Na pokoji lednice, v koupelně fén na vlasy. Čisto. Doporučuji.
- Isabel (10/5): Ideal - Ubicacion y sitio inmejorable, la propietaria nos ha acogido genial, la habitacion y el baño impecables, todo perfecto.
- Gregorio (1/5): -
- Alghamdi (10/5): - كل شي جميل فيها وموقعها من النافوره وكل الخدمات
- Amanda (10/5): Hospedagem de paz em local de agito! - A localização é perfeita! No coração da cidade! Pudemos ir a Fontana do Trevi no momento que estava vazia pela
Madrugada o que foi ótimo! Tinha chinelinhos descartáveis que foram muito úteis. Deixou água de cortesia no frigobar também o que foi ótimo. O quarto é muito cômodo, com frigobar, cama confortável, elevador de acesso. Tudo bem limpo e organizado. Inclusive a parte coletiva da habitação estava sempre limpa e organizada. Cozinha disponível que pode ajudar. O Check-in não é independente, necessita de contato com o anfitrião mas não foi um problema pra nós. Fomos muito bem tratados! Eu não sabia que era o quarto de um apartamento, portanto é bom saber que no outro quarto tem outro hóspede. Mas não tivemos nenhum problema.
- Sydni (5/5): I Didn't know this was a shared flat! - The location is wonderful if you would like to be close to everything. Easy to walk to all the sights. Realizing you can walk to everything if you stay anywhere in the area. Everything was clean and comfortable. What I was surprised by was you are not renting the whole flat. When we arrived we noticed there is another bedroom behind the mural by the bookcase. We thought that might be storage or something. At midnight we heard someone entering the flat. we peeked out and saw another couple enter that room! Awkward! For the price it is not worth it. I think the pictures and information are very misleading. This is a shared common area and kitchen with a private bath and room. If you know that going in, you can decide if that is what you want, it is not what I wanted. We started our trip in Rome and ended in Rome, staying at a different place. Truly everything is walking distance from anyplace in the area (from 5-10 min walk). The Trevi Fountain is crowded day and night, so no need to be that close. The flat is a shared flat, so not much privacy, you can hear through the bedroom wall just normal talking. Not worth the price for shared place. I wish it was made clear that there is another bedroom behind the mural and possible other people staying there.
- Carlos Fernando (10/5): Ubicación excepcional. - Su ubicación, el trato y acompañamiento de la anfitriona. Una estancia magnífica, perfecto para viajes rápidos. Tienes la autonomía de tener las llaves del edificio, del apartamento y la habitación. Puede que para algunas personas esto pueda ser problemático.
- Sophie (9/5): - The most PERFECT location! So close to the Trevi fountain and all of Rome’s main attractions. We caught the train in and arrived at Roma Termini and this place was only 1-2 bus stops or a quick 15 minute walk away so it was also great from that perspective. The host was also so lovely and gave us some great recommendations- would happily stay again Nothing

- Patonia (10/5): wonderful 👌 - it was in a perfect location. walking distance to many monuments, cafés, souvenirs shops, gelato, restaurants...
- Yvonne (9/5): Great place to stay many sites all within walking distance - Excellent location, good facilities and comfortable surroundings. We didn't realise this was a shared apartment until another couple walked out of the door. They neither knew about us. It should be clearly explained that kitchen, dining area etc are to be shared by both couples. One can't see the other door as it's behind a painted door. Security can also be an issue as you don't know if the other room has been rented out. Otherwise it was perfect.
- Adrian (4/5): Good location, but it is shared not a private apartment - The location is really great near di trevi. Very good contact with owner. Also it is possible to leave bags after check out. The main issue is that there was no information about the fact that you are actually sharing the property with somebody else. There are two private bedrooms, but living room and kitchen are shared. The other couple who checked in the following day did not know about that as well so in the morning they thought we were trying to steal something because their things were all over common space. Overall the place is quite old and very crowded with stuff it is easy to hit your toe especially in the bathroom and bedroom. Photos are more nicer than in reality.
- Justine (8/5): Very good -
- Petra (7/5): lovely host, cheap/simple room and great location - great location, a minute walk from Trevi fountain, good value for money, very pleasant and responsive host, lift, safe building, wifi worked well. This is classic apartment which offers 2 separate rooms within apartment so you are sharing common space with other people in another room- just FYI. the room is quiet dated, its very simple and small but we expected that, we didnt like the fact that the door to the room was sliding door which was possible to lock but it did not feel safe and also you could hear everything because of the little gaps so we never felt like we have complete privacy. in saying that we did not have any problems with people who stayed next door but yeah, we are maybe bit mature for this type of accomodation but that was our problem we chose this type of space :) we only stayed 2 nights and it was ok since most of the time we are out and about
- Vasiliki (9/5): Superb - One of the best areas in Rome . Full of restaurants and bars , walking distance to fontana and the historical city center !
The room was excellent , clear , quiet and full equipped ! Highly recommended
- Fynn (8/5): Very good -

- Foutzitzis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leart (8/5): Very good -

- Pietsch (9/5): The accommodation was very comfortable and in a great location with very helpful staff. - Location was great and easy to find, staff very helpful, quiet, great comfortable bed
- Melina (9/5): Superb -
- Bronwyn (9/5): Great location. - The host provided excellent additional information and was available via messages to advise us on anything we needed.
- White (8/5): Perfect location for Trevi Fountain - Right close to Trevi Fountain 3rd flight upstairs. But not bad
- Riddhi (9/5): stay at Sofia's place - the host was very responsive... detailed check in instructions were given in advance which made everything super smooth.. we enjoyed our stay in Sofia's guest house .it takes almost 3min to reach Trevi fountain from this place and we could enjoy Trevi at 4different times of the day in 4different attires😂😍 what I liked the most is she has kept some small 1-2cents coins handy to throw away in the Trevi..so thoughtful... everything was perfect
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Location was superb. Walking distance to Trevi fountain and many other sites. We were met with the owner on check in (noting that prior communications were through Whatsapp and very clear. No issues finding the building). Our room was very self contained, clean and comfortable. We were offered fresh towels half way through our stay which was appreciated.
- Roseanne (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location! Clean & comfy. Our host was lovely & we were able to leave our luggage after checkout until our late evening flight home. Highly recommend! Nothing not to like
- Jessica (9/5): Superb - Great communication from hosts and clean facilities
- Dunja (7/5): Good - The locartion of the object is great Very small, the AC isnt working good
- Amir (5/5): Passable - Very good location. AC worked badly. The owner did try to help, but still, AC has not improved. The booking info did not mention that the place was a shared accommodation, and we were surprised to find out. Very bad smell from the cabinet.
- Greg (8/5): Excellent experience! - Great location - within walking distance of almost everything we were interested in.
- James (10/5): Amazing guest house in an amazing location. - This was an amazing visit. The place let us store our bags after check out, which was amazing. The location could not be better, and I would recommend this place to anyone! N/A
- Liam (4/5): Excellent location, but poor accomodation in terms of comfort and privacy. - - The location is fantastic
- Self check in - I have not seen this mentioned as a share house anywhere on booking.com, there is another bedroom which shares a common area (the lounge and kitchen).
- the room is not very soundproof at all, if the other people staying in the room adjacent are doing things you can very easily hear them moving around and speaking. It doesn’t feel like you’re staying in your own room.
- The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were very thin
- The shower was poor, the pressure was really weak.
- Wilson (9/5): The best location, super hosts. Would return. - Location is amazing!!!! Hosts super friendly & helpful. The shower was a bit tricky to use & small but that’s it, everything else was great.
- Rosichuk (8/5): Very good -
- Judith (10/5): Quiet apartment very near many sites and activities, with common sitting area and kitchen included in the rental of bedr - Despite location very close to the always-thronged Trevi Fountain and streets that are virtually always busy, the apartment is quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle outside. The bedroom was comfortable, and nice to have the common sitting area and kitchen. The hosts were extraordinarily helpful with information and very responsive, charming and friendly.
- Julie (8/5): Very helpful host in a great central location - Clean and great location Furniture in the room was a bit tired
- German (10/5): Great - Center location , near Fontana di trevi and a great service and attention to all the details
- Lee (9/5): Perfect place to stay for solo travels - Perfect place to stay! I was solo travelling and it was exactly what I needed- best location- a minute walk from Trevi fountain , privet clean bathroom, comfy bed, and after check out I could leave my luggage at the living room :)
The stuff was very avaliable and welcoming. Sometimes there was this weird clicking sound, don't know where it came from
- Heba (8/5): comfortable place with very good location - location was very good - comfortable place with facilities - very good response from owners - thank you a bit noise in the street but didn't bother me that much
- Cecile (10/5): Cozy and extremely well located (<1 minute walk away from the Trevi Fountain!) - The owners were very kind and thoughtful in helping us find the guest house apartment as well as in providing us with their knowledge on their city, their favourite places to eat, areas to visit, easiest forms of transport, and were very flexible with our arrival time given our train was late!
The whole apartment was gorgeous and opened onto a very nice street where we enjoyed pasta for lunch.
I had the privilege of getting up at 07:30 and quickly getting dressed to walk <1 minute to the Trevi Fountain! It was great to see it before too many people arrived.
This accommodation was definitely worth the money especially for these reasons! I will definitely be returning to Rome... as the owners mentioned this was only my first time out of three (how often people typically visit Rome). N/A, everything was perfect!
- Hayley (8/5): Perfect location next to Trevi Fountain - Location was excellent. A 2-minute walk to Trevi Fountain, and around 20-30-minutes to Colosseum/Vatican/Piazza Navona. Everywhere was within walking distance. Kitchen provided which made breakfast very easy. Coffee pods were a welcome surprise, too. Hair dryer also included. The only slight negative was the unpleasant smell from the toilet - potentially a sewage issue. We came back from a day out and the room smelt bad.
- Frode (8/5): Very good - Staff, location Shower was bad, not possible to take a mormal shower
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good - Very central location to all sight seeing tourist locations. We walked everywhere for roughly 1-2km maximum. Clean and comfortable. Handy little lift for luggage. Armando was super helpful on check in with some recommendations on where to eat! To be expected, it was slightly noisy at night time and is immediately busy to walk within lots of people when getting out the door but again, you are right in the heart of it all.
- Rahul (10/5): Good room, great location, amazing host - The Host is very helpful. She gave us an overview of Rome, a detailed map with some key distance and time information and even recommended places to eat around the neighborhood. She was even kind enough to arrange for taxi when we were leaving.
The room is good. The bed is super comfy. Location was less than 2 mins walk from Trevi Fountain (which meant that it was basically walking distance to most of the popular locations around Rome).
Note: It is a 'shared' apartment. However, we rarely saw the other occupants and it was very private since the bathroom is also inside the room. The shared area had coffee and tea and other amenities which were nice.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Easy check in, great communication with host, phenomenal location, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
- Giang (9/5): Best location, short walking to Trevi fountain and there is a lot of restaurants around the guest house. - Location and the host None
- Tymur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (9/5): Excellent spot - Great setup with shared facilities.
Perfect location for all the main attractions. Difficult to find as entry not clear.
- Jane (9/5): Brilliant location, lovely apartment - Central location just yards from the Trevi fountain. Shared apartment but this was not a problem, we never even saw anyone else. Clean & well equipped. Lovely owners.
- Sophie (9/5): Superb - The apartment is at the heart of the historical center, easy to go everywhere. Great neighborhood! It's the perfect place to stay! The room was very decent. Clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. The shower was a bit tight and it was hard to move easily in there.
- Czeslaw (9/5): brilliant thank you. - location and facilities the free coffee machine was a lovely extra sliding door handle was broken
- Bucky (9/5): perfect location for a perfect weekend in Rome - location is perfect to Trevi
clean
host meets you on check in and is very informative n/a
- Gerardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vikster123 (8/5): Very good -
- Rita (10/5): The best place in heart of Rome - excelent location, just 5 steps to the Trevi!! Free coffee, good kitchen, comfortable room. 5 stars guest house nothing, it's perfect!
- Emilia (10/5): Great place, perfect location - Lovely, clean room, great facilities and perfect location. Highly recommended!
- Talha (9/5): Excellent location - The location is perfect and apartment was clean. The host was very nice and helpful.
Room was comfortable size and in good condition. The was a small problem with electricity which was fixed by the host. It did not cause much inconvenience as we could just pop out for dinner while it was being looked at.
- Siobhan (3/5): Poor -
- Aravinda (10/5): Simply lovely! - Lovely room - clean and comfortable, well-appointed with everything we needed - outlet strip to charge phone and laptop, AC & wifi that worked well, clean bathroom. Bidet was great too.
The common kitchen and living room were nice, we had chamomile tea every night to help us wind down after busy days of sightseeing. We only used the tea kettle but there was a stove as well, which we might have used had we stayed longer.
Close to main attractions, host is courteous and helpful. Glad we stayed here, it made it so easy to go out every day and even return in the middle if needed for a quick cool-down shower before going out again for the evening.
