- Carolina (4/5): - El sitio está cerca del metro, y el personal es muy amable y todo está limpio. Las camas son muy incómodas, y no puedes descansar bien.

- CINZIA (9/5): -
- Szilvia (10/5): - A szállás olyan volt, mint a képeken. Csendes helyen van. A szállásadó nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt. A szállástól kb. 5 percre van a metróállomás (A vonal, Collie Albani), amelynek útvonalán a legtöbb nevezetesség található. A metróállomástól buszok is indulnak.
- Sabina (9/5): - Jediný nedostatek byl, že chyběly hrnky a sklenice pro všechny ubytované
- Kotyz (8/5): -
- Sylwia (9/5): Idealne miejsce na kilkudniowy city break w Rzymie. - Świetna lokalizacja, która pozwalała na sprawne zwiedzanie Rzymu. Pokoje były czyste i dobrze utrzymane, a obsługa bardzo pomocna i gościnna. Właściwie nie mam większych uwag – wszystko było zgodne z opisem.
- Andrzej (9/5): -
- Heena (9/5): Perfect suburban apartment that makes you feel like a local - Awesome suburban location, not too far from the city centre either. Great local eateries around. Clean and efficient apartment. Bus 85 from the stop downstairs is so ideal for all journeys to central Rome!
Host Roberto is very friendly and accommodating.
My parents stated they will be staying here again on their next visit to Rome. - lack of shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the shower
- a little couch/sofa in the hallway would complete this apartment! Could be achieved by moving dining table into kitchen :)
- Dorota (10/5): - Bardzo fajny apartament, dobrze wyposażony. Spokojna dzielnica i blisko do metra. W okolicy sklepy, piekarnia i knajpki. Właściciel bardzo miły i pomocny.
- deborah (6/5): - La casa è accogliente ben disposta ideale per 5 persone... la vicinanza alla metro da punti positivi manca totalmente l' attenzione ai dettagli ...
In bagno c'erano saponi e shampi già utilizzati ... gli asciugamani erano tutti scoppiati e vecchi, così come le lenzuola si vedeva l usura del tempo e non erano coordinate tra loro le coperta erano sicuramente della nonna... tutto pulito per carità ma serve piu attenzione a queste cose per una casa vacanze !! Del resto si paga anche questo!
- bagdasarov (10/5): -
- Stefania (10/5): - Appartamento molto spazioso e dotato di tutto: lavatrice, lavastoviglie, forno, forno a microonde, ferro da stiro. Posizione comodissima, a 5 minuti dalla fermata della metro Colli Albani e a 10 minuti in metro da Termini. Nelle vicinanze diversi posti dove fare colazione, supermercati, farmacia. Assolutamente consigliato.
- CARMINE (6/5): - La posizione è ottima. Il proprietario è stato disponibile e gentile per cercare di risolvere un nostro imprevisto È necessario curare di più la pulizia. C'era tanta polvere😥In un bagno non funzionava bene la doccia e in un altro il lavello
- Pawel (9/5): Bardzo dobry, Wszystko zgodnie z opisem, dobry kontakt z właścicielem. - Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, spokojna okolica, blisko do stacji metra
- Karimel (5/5): An Ok flat 15 min from city center by metro - Not far from metro A
Quiet appartment No living room
The matresses were not confortable at all
The tvs were small and no choice of channels
- Florean (8/5): -
- Linda (5/5): - Heating was good No lounge only hard dinning chairs to sit on beds dipped in middle very uncomfortable oven left with frying pan full of dirty oil oven keeped going out not much pressure for cold water in bathroom and black hairs in shower electric plug in kitchen very loose over all not very clean would not recommend
- Yolanda (9/5): - En general el espacio Nada

- Charlotte (10/5): The host was very accommodating and helped us get a taxi when needed! A friend left her phone in the apartment and the h - Was located in a very quiet neighborhood nothing
- muriel (8/5): Super séjour mélangeant visites touristiques et vie de quartier - Accueil sympathique par Robert en personne. Habitation dans un quartier de résidents italiens donc nous avons participé à la vie locale le soir ( bars, restos, commerces) avec des prix italiens et non touristiques Il manque un peu de vaisselles ( verres à pied pour le vin), sinon ras
- mariam (8/5): I can't say anything more good about the apartment. - The house was clean, close to the metro, and the owner was very attentive. There wasn't enough hot water in the bathroom for everyone. The water in the tank was quickly getting cold
- Hana (9/5): - Great quiet place, close to Metro And City center. Nice appartment house. Apt. Newly renovated. Helpful owner. Comfortable beds - full beds not just sofa, accomodate well 5people. Kitchen and balcony. Nice bathroom with bidet. Low pressure of water, but ok. Kitchen equiped, but just exactly for four people.
- Peter (9/5): - Lokalita blizko metra, vybavenie ubytovania, príjemná štvrť, kaviarne, potraviny super Ubytovanie trochu staršie ale nemám čo vytknúť
- Kul (9/5): - Dodatkowe wyposarzenie które nie zostało ujete w opisie obiektu takie jak pralka i suszarka Czystość naczyń i woda w kranie nie zadowalały jakością

- Reuven (8/5): Great Rome base for families - A perfectly stocked apartment close to the metro. Great base for exploring Rome with a family. The neighborhood, while not glamorous, has everything you may need at a short walking distance, including some nice Restaurants This is small, But the space between the mattress and the wall on the master bed made it a bit uncomfortable for someone like myself who is used to sleeping with my head against the wall
- Grisel (7/5): Good - Hot water. Security. Beds not comfortable. No soap . Towels came late. They supposed to have it when you get to the apartment. No water. No basic amenities inside the apartment.

- saverio (10/5): -
- Adeiza (7/5): -
- Christelle (9/5): - La climatisation
L'emplacement proche du métro et de nombreuses commodité.
Des poubelles dans chaque pièce.
À disposition de nombreux services (fer à repasser et planche à repasser, sèche cheveux, lave vaisselle et machine à laver...)
Linge en quantité suffisante.
Le propriétaire est disponible et répond à nos besoins.
Agréable d'arriver dans un appartement (en vacances, quand on reste mx 1 semaine) où il y a un minimum d'aliments : gros sel, huile, vinaigre, sel fin, sucre, produits lave vaisselle, produit vaisselle, thé... Et pour faire de nombreuses locations, c'est un vrai confort car dans plein d'autres endroits, même dans les courses il faut acheter les basiques. Ça manquait un peu de vaisselle (par exemple, en été nous mangeons pas mal de salade (verte, tomates, fenouil...) et il n'y avait qu'un saladier et pas très grand et nous sommes une famille de 5.
Les fourchettes étaient pour certaines abîmées.
Un des lits des enfants étaient cassé et inconfortable.
Il manquait un salon pour se détendre.
- zaki (9/5): -
- Viktoriia (10/5): Все було на найвищому рівні - Дуже зручне розташування: поруч метро і автобусна зупинка. Можна легко і швидко доїхати до історичних памʼяток Риму. Також поруч є продуктові магазини, піцерія.
Дуже приємний господар Роберто, допомагає з усіма питаннями. У помешканні є все необхідне для комфортного проживання: пральна машина, посудомийна машина та інші речі.
Буду рекомендувати своїм друзям
- Torrez (4/5): No lo recomiendo - La persona encargada fue muy pronta en su respuesta! La limpieza y la localización del lugar dejaron mucho que desear.
Teníamos que viajar diariamente más de 50 minutos, y los autobuses no pasaban a tiempo – en ocasiones, ni siquiera pasaban.
En cuanto a la limpieza, fue bastante decepcionante:
Los electrodomésticos estaban muy sucios, el lavavajillas tenía un olor desagradable, el horno estaba cubierto de polvo y los cubiertos tenían manchas blancas, señal de un mal lavado. La cafetera aún contenía restos de café y no había sido limpiada.
Sinceramente, por el precio que pagamos, esperábamos un servicio mucho mejor en ese aspecto.
Además, la zona –como en otras partes de Italia– nos hizo sentir bastante inseguros.
- celine (8/5): Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à Rome. Nous conseillons l’appartement au prochain voyageur. - Roberto a été un autre très arrangeant autant pour notre arrivée que pour notre départ. L’appartement est très bien situé avec une station de métro à cinq minutes à pied. L’appartement est à environ 25 minutes en métro des sites touristiques de Rome. Il y a également un supermarché à cinq minutes. En conclusion, c’est un établissement que je recommande de par sa situation géographique. L’appartement est situé dans un quartier calme et bien desservi. Il est dommage que l’appartement ne dispose pas de coin salon. Il y a seulement deux chambres une cuisine et une salle de bain. Il est un peu petit pour cinq personnes surtout pour la cuisine qui n’a pas assez d’ustensiles pour cuisiner un minimum.
- Erwan (7/5): - Le quartier.
La proximité du métro. Il manque un salon!!!
Le manque d'ustensiles dont une cafetière.
Si on est 5. Il manque une chaise...
- Zafar (8/5): Neat and tidy place - good for a group -
- Stephan (9/5): Perfect - Perfect organized arrival and stay The kitchen was very useful due to the fact that we are cooking a lot on our own for five people. Because of that a little bit more tableware and kitchen gadgets would have been useful according to our bigger family. But we arranged everything with the stuff that was available. All together we would come again to this perfect place. Thanks a lot.
- Ayrton (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, near the metro. The host, Roberto is a very good person.
- Ioana (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is really nice, clean and warm! It’s close to the metro station! Definitely recommend it! It was perfect for our group of 5 people!
- Radka (9/5): Superb - Nice and clean flat in great area, about 5 minutes from metro but not on the main street. Windows led into the inner part of the block of flats and it was quiet. In the area were locals lived, small supermarkets and local restaurants near by. Also direct bus from Colloseum stops near the flat. I loved the window shades, to make the room dark and also the bed was comfortable. We traveled in winter so heating was a plus. We would definitely come back. Great for a family with children. Only 2 people can sit at the table in the kitchen. But it is possible to move the table to the hallway (I would recommend to keep it that way). The kitchen could be better equipped but you can manage to cook a simple meal or make a breakfast.
- June (7/5): Good - The location was fantastic. Only a few metro stops to Coluseum, Trevi fountain etc. It was in a locked secure apartment block. Felt safe leaving the teenagers there while we went to parkrun. Kitchen well equipped and I loved the shower Used oven and kettle at the same time and the electricity cut out until someone came 6 hours later to reconnect it.
The queen bed has corners! Watch out, we all came home with bruises!!! The same queen bed also makes a lot of noise when tossing/turning.
Also : No toaster ;!
- Yousri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ebuni (7/5): Good - The apartment wifi wasn't working so our host put us in another property. In the same development. However, this other property didn't have a safe, microwave or dishwasher. But it was still very nice. He was so accommodating I really couldn't complain about the microwave No microwave, that was an issue and no dishwasher
- Anastasija (5/5): Shame on the host, far from an 8.7 rating. - The location is convenient in terms of proximity to grocery stores and small shops. There’s also a delicious bakery just around the corner.
Getting to the city center took no more than 30 minutes, as the central metro line is only a 5-minute walk away, making it quick and easy to reach many of Rome’s main attractions. We traveled in November with our 11-month-old baby, which we informed the host about in advance. However, upon arrival, we encountered the host’s indifferent attitude towards their guests:
1. The host did not consider the November temperatures and failed to prepare the apartment by turning on the heating in advance. In Rome, heating operates on a timed schedule and is only turned on twice a day. Because of this, we lived in terrible cold for two days, constantly thinking about how freezing it was. Our baby couldn’t crawl on the floor because the stone flooring was ice-cold. We woke up at night, unable to find a way to stay warm. When we asked the host to provide a heater, our request was simply ignored.
2. The bathroom sink only had ice-cold water. No matter how long we let the water run, as per the host’s instructions, it never warmed up.
3. We were shocked by the damaged and dirty dishes. Some were covered in dried grime, making them unsafe to use. A broken glass could easily shatter!
4. The kettle was filthy and old. Each time we boiled water, large amounts of limescale and residue poured into the cup (see photos). It was disgusting to drink tea made from this, let alone give such water to a baby. We had to boil a water in a pot
- Jacinta (8/5): Very good - Great host. Location my good about 10 min walk from metro The beds really need updating
- Eva (8/5): It’s a great affordable stay for 4-5 people. There is no seating area besides the kitchen chairs, but we didn’t stay in - The apartment is in a great area, just a few minutes walk from bars shopping and restaurants. It’s also great access to the metro to get to the sites.
It’s a quaint apartment, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and washroom. We didn’t do any cooking but we did use the large espresso machine and bought espresso grounds to make coffee. The beds are not very comfortable.
Could use more hand soap in the washroom
- Shaniekae (8/5): Great for a family - felt very "at home". Nice kitchen amenities. Very friendly owners. - I was unsure if I was suppose to call or text or email. It was difficult through Booking.com to message about arrival, I was worried they wouldn't get the change, but they did. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and I felt safe. The pictures were exactly accurate, great to have a washer as well. We needed more outlets near the beds for charging. The shower head in the bathroom wasnt great and the water temperature was hard to regulate.
- Anupma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (9/5): Highly recommend this property. Very safe neighborhood. - Large bedrooms, comfortable beds, clean, good a/c. Good shower towels. Reasonable, short walk to Metro station.
- Ptskialadze (10/5): Exceptional -
- Şahin (7/5): Good -
- Shalen (8/5): Satisfied stay. - Apartment is neat and clean. It is situated near a bus stop( +-200m) and a metro (+-800m) away. It is quiet in the building with no disturbances. It's also close to some supermarkets/mini markets. The location is very far from all the attractions. Rome's public transport is not very grand and it can take up to an hour to get to the Vatican, or 45min to get to Colloseum and Rome busy tourist spots.
- V.p (9/5): The location was good enough to get access to bus and metro station. However airport is bit far. - The facilities available
- Nicolas (8/5): We enjoyed our stay -
- Hong (9/5): It's a super choice for a family to stay at Roma - The location is very great close to Subway station, so we can reach most places fast. We have enough space for 5 persons. The apartment is quite clean and the Kitchen is well equipped. The host is very nice. The two single beds are noisy.
- Eszter (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect, it was not in the crowdy and noisy city center, but in 25 minutes you could reach for instance the Spanish Steps with the subway. The host was really kind and flexible, we could contact via Whatsapp. The apartment was completely cleaned, and highly equipped. The neighbourhood was totally calm, we could sleep after a long day. It is ideal for a family or for a group of friend.
- Scott (7/5): Good -
- Cherie (8/5): Very good - The location was brilliant. Quiet, a cheap supermarket round the corner. An easy 5 minute walk max to the Colli Albani metro stop. Nothing really, I would have liked some more towels and it didn't have washing up liquid or tea towels to dry the dishes. The double bedframe was very squeaky which was annoying but generally it was great.
- Jordan (9/5): Superb -
- Ugo (7/5): Good - no breakfsat
- Njomza (8/5): Very good -
- Soraida (6/5): Pleasant -
- Cheryl (7/5): Easy location, lots of pastry shops and eating places around the area. - Close to metro (Colbi Albani), lots of places to eat around the neighborhood. The purple room bed (queen size) needs to be changed. It dips in the middle and is uncomfortable to sleep on.
- Liberman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sailik (9/5): Superb - clean spacious no spoons forks in the kitchen
- Sara (9/5): Superb -
- Georgios (8/5): Very good -
- Valentyn (7/5): Good -
- Shutov (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandra (9/5): Superb - The rooms are big and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. The location is near a subway station and you can arrive fast in the center of the city. Lots of restaurants, patisseries and supermarkets in the area. The mattress needs to be changed in both rooms. They are uncomfortable. Also in the bathroom the shower is leaking and the shower head needs to be changed.
- Breanne (8/5): Great apartment, good location for access to city via subway. - very spacious, well equipped, had everything needed The freezer leaked lots of water onto the floor for our entire stay. We notified property manager immediately but it was not addressed. We had to keep soaking up with towels, emptying with buckets, and mopping. we were charged the standard cleaning fee, but when asked if we could have that refunded since we spent 3 days cleaning the kitchen, we received no response.
