Guest Reviews
- Anderson Marcelo (4/5): Ponto excelente, mas estrutura deixou a desejar - Localização central, perto das atrações. Acesso por escada apertada.
O sistema de aquecimento de água para banho não funcionou nenhum dia. Nossa família tomou banho na água fria todos os dias. Inicialmente o anfitrião havia informado que seria necessário uma pessoa tomar banho e deixar o sistema esquentar novamente a água. Depois mostrei para ela que o sistema não estava aquecendo e estava vazando o tempo todo. A anfitriã me respondeu que já havia encomendado um outro boiler, mas que ele chegaria apenas dois dias após a minha saída, ou seja, concluo que a mesma já sabia do problema e não me avisou com antecedência, se eu soubesse do problema antes teria mudado a reserva para outro local.
- Amy (10/5): Great location, lovely helpful host. - The room was very clean with lots of amenities and facilities that were available to use. The host was very helpful and replied almost instantaneously whenever I had a question. The location was great. Walking distance from many popular tourist areas (including the trevi fountain, Spanish steps, colosseum etc). 2 days out of the 4 days I stayed there the shower only had enough hot water for one person and went cold. We didn’t use the hot tap throughout the day as we were out all day, but in the morning the hot water would turn off after 5-10 minutes of usage.
- Sarah (10/5): Simple, comfortable and quiet accommodation in the middle of a central tourist area. - Amazing location just a 2 min walk from the Pantheon. Spacious and quiet living space - all tiled floors, which I imagine will make it quite cool in the summer (we stayed in winter and the air conditioning was great for heat as well as cooling). Our host was super helpful as well and responded to messages quickly. As you may be able to see from photos, the ceiling is quite low seeing as it’s a basement/downstairs apartment. No real issue but just beware of your head when walking around if you are above 5’10”!
- Tonia88 (9/5): Superb - Central location with supermarket near. Hostess was very helpful and easily contactable. There were toys and books for kids in english. Clean and comfort space. the hair dryer doesn't work. steep stairs and a tiny door. maybe kitchen should be renovated.
- Mariam (7/5): Good -
- Clarisse (10/5): Apartment well located and comfortable - The host Flora is considerate and receptive.
The place is silent, clean, big and easy access. The hair dryer when it warms doesn't work.
- Pauline (6/5): Flora was helpful and friendly and property in good location but accessibility is an issue - It was in a convenient location to my nieces wedding and church The property did not highlight the issues with access as it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. It has 2 small steep steps to the side of the staircase with a small door which is the entrance door to the rooftop property. There is no lift
- Karen (9/5): Superb - Great location. Roomy apartment. Close to Pantheon, shops and restaurants. Quiet. Clean. Apartment is accessed via steep stairs and a tiny door. It was a little tricky with suitcases. Apartment has low beams which my 183cm hubby bumped his head on many times.
- Serban (9/5): Nice apartament in a very nice central zone, just like a 3 stars hotel. - I liked the host, best host for us, very polite Heating with air conditioner was deficitary, the air was very dry.
- Serge (10/5): Love the location, the accommodation and Flora/Chiara’s responsiveness to any orations.. - Location location location It was all good
- Jennifer (7/5): Great location and nice apartment - Location is perfect for exploring all the Rome highlights. Everything is walkable, or access to the buses are close by. The area is good and feels safe at night. Access to the apartment is a little unusual, with a couple of narrow steps up to a 'door' in the wall off the main staircase. Not for people with mobility issues.
The sofa bed is not comfortable at all. And I feel it a little much to charge extra to use it as a bed.
If you are looking to self cater in the apartment it is reasonably well equipped but I few things would need added.
- Kevin (9/5): Quiet apartment in an excellent location - Quiet apartment in the centre of Rome.
The apartment was fully equipped, clean and comfortable.
The host was very friendly and helpful.
The apartment was central for the sights of Rome yet secluded from the city noise. Nothing really, the entrance to the apartment was unusual but didn't cause any concern.
- Tracy (9/5): Excellent flat, in an excellent location with an excellent host - The host was extremely helpful, the location near to all the tourist ‘hot spots’ and the flat was comfortable and homely. Would highly recommend Nothing
- Graeme (8/5): Superb location, a bit of TLC would make it excellent - Location, very secure, quirky apartment. Dust, some mould in bathroom
- Maciej (9/5): Value for money property in perfect location to explore Rome -
- Tarokh (10/5): You can enjoy your trip with choosing that plce - Atmosphere was nice, cozy, air conditioners are very fine, privacy is good and all the chicken facilities are almost available. Bed is comfortable and the property is enjoyable in general Just the entrance is a bit difficult but it’s fine also.
And if you’re tall, beware of your head not to be hit by the celling columns
- Ralf (10/5): Relaxing and fantastic stay - Everything was fantastic. We had a great time in Rome and the apartment is located close to all sights. It is easily reachable from the airports. The apartment is well equipped with evreything you need for a comfortable stay. Flora is a great host with very short response times. We can recommed the apratment and we will surely return for our next Rome visit. nothing at all, everything was perfect
- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic location, well equipped and very clean. - The location is awesome. Short walk to all the major sites, grocery store and great restaurants and cafes nearby. The apartment is quiet, cool, well equipped and is great for a couple staying in Rome. Our host Flora was amazing, communication and check in was great and her suggestions for local restaurants very helpful! Husband who is 6ft tall hit his head a couple of times on the low beams but he adjusted pretty quickly 😃.
- Erin (5/5): Great location - Location was great. Near bus stops and within walking distance to most of the main sights. Supermarket right on the corner and lots of eating places nearby. Was no toaster which we'd use daily and the host went out and bought one which we really appreciated. Bedroom was large as was the combined dinning livingroom. Shower had a good water flow. Air conditioning worked well. Tiny doorway to climb through to access rooftops of other houses to walk across to get to apartment. Tiny space outside apartment door with little table and 2 chairs. We moved them to a more spacial area, still outside the bedroom windows and next day host came yelling at us and dragging them back to doorway. Said that space was not hers and she'd received a complaint from building management. Felt like we had been verbally attacked, very unsettling. She did send a text explaining nicer afterwards. Definitely not the outdoor dining space as advertised in the facilities brief on website.
The ceilings are very low and my husband banged his head on the cross beams at least once a day. The apartment smelt damp/mouldy each time we returned to it after it had been shut up but didn't notice it once windows were opened. The bed is very hard and the mattressl sits in a wooden boxed base with corners wider than mattress. We both banged our knees several times walking around the bed. Lighting is very poor.
- Silviya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): our host Flora was exceptional, so very helpful & gave us eating, shopping & sightseeing site information. messa - the property was beautiful, clean, very well maintained & so close to everything. we walked every where and some many eateries, tourists sights nearby.
- Alan (8/5): Ideal central city apartment in Rome - This apartment’s entrance is a bit convoluted. Two doors and two gates, and some very strange steps. But don’t let that put you off. It is in an ideal location in Rome city with the actual apartment entrance in an enclosed courtyard. All of the noise from the street disappears and it is so quiet. We stayed here for 5 nights. The accommodation is a one bedroom apartment with small kitchenette and separate bathroom. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. Good Wi-Fi and nice towels and linen. Perfectly placed and in walking distance to all of the sites including the Vatican museum, the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palantine Hill and more. Small supermarket right nearby and restaurants galore too. Whilst the apartment gets natural light through windows part of the property is underground. Hence it does suffer from damp and has a musty smell when you enter after it’s been closed up. As a consequence it is practically impossible to dry any clothes or used towels without the AC being on heat. It really could do with a proper washer/dryer instead of a washing machine.
General maintenance issues: The iron’s wiring is frayed and it left residue on our clothes. I think it should be replaced. TV remotes all need batteries, rail above bidet comes out of the wall, toilet flush button comes off etc
There were issues with the payment of City Tax because we had a self check in (not our request). It made things a bit frantic for us on our first day.
No toaster or grill in the oven.
Guests would benefit from some simple instructions on how to use the washing machine, TV etc.
- Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - spacious, quiet, right in the centre
- Stephen (10/5): comfortable and convenient - Great location very close to the Pantheon. comfortable bed and good lighting. WiFi also good nothing
- Van (9/5): Location is really great! Apartment is comfortable with everything you need -
- Beatriz (10/5): Exceptional - Elsa appartment is the perfect option for Rome. Location top as all is closed, walking distance for the main atractions and most important not in one of those crazy busy streets of Rome
Our host Flora is being very welcoming and always available. Cozy place with all what you need.
- Helga (9/5): Superb - very kind host, great location!
- James (8/5): Very good - Location is excellent, very central and within walking distance of lots of restaurants and sights. Our host, Flora, was very friendly and helpful
- Pamela (8/5): Very good - Central location, supermarket close by.
Hostess extremely helpful and easily contactable.
Facilities in apartment made for easy living. Entrance to apartment, 4 doors on different levels and steps up and down to get to apartment.
Low beams in living area. If you're over 5 foot 10 inches, don't rent this apartment.
- Narine (8/5): Very good -
- Christoph (7/5): Good -
- Sjoerd (7/5): Super location, clean. But beds were so so. And the room is too low for people taller than 185cm. -
- Jin (9/5): Superb -
- Cullen (4/5): Disappointing -
