Guest Reviews

• Peggy-Ann (9/5): Loved it - The Host was very freindly, even offered to arange transfer from cruise port to apartment and apartment to airport at a good price.
• bf9655fdffc9710fb5f12acd3037dfcc (7/5): - Vízköves csaptelep, zuhanyfej. Csak akkor folyt a víz, amikor leszereltük a zuhanyfejet
• Vanessa (10/5): Our walking exploration of Rome was a vacation to remember. - The location placed us within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain (6 mins), The Pantheon ( 15 mins) the Colosseum and many more sites. The 2 bedroom apartment was spacious, clean and quiet at night ensuring a good night rest. Buses on Via di Corso to get around the city. No negatives here.
• Kelly (10/5): Fantastic apartment - The location is fantastic 👌 Clean, tidy apartment that I will definitely book again when I return to Italy one day. David and Sabrina were great to communicate with also.
• Yavuz (3/5): - Only location Cleanliness, shower malfunction, door locks, old furnitures,
• Martinez (10/5): Roma en familia - Muy buena comunicación , la entrega del departamento muy ordenada y mucho detalle La ubicación es perfecta, cerca departamento todo. El departamento es amplio Nada
• Alexandra (10/5): Great stay, great experience - We had an amazing time there, the apartment was very clean and cozy, and the host very kind
• Marta (10/5): Volvería sin duda , excelente - David fue muy atento con todo y nos recomendó y aconsejó con todo. La casa está en una ubicación estupenda, a muy pocos minutos de muchos puntos de interés y en una zona súper segura para ir con niños y volver de noche sin problema. Además de muy limpia y muy cómoda. Todo estupendo Por decir algo el sofá del salón que resbalaba mucho
• Terhi (9/5): Mainio asunto erinomaisella sijainnilla. - Erinomainen sijainti Rooman sydämessä. Lyhyt kävelymatka keskeisiin nähtävyyksiin, lähistöllä runsaasti ostosmahdollisuuksia ja ravintoloita, ja hyvät bussi- ja ratikkayhteydet eri puolille kaupunkia. Yhteydenpito majoittajaan oli mutkatonta ja helppoa. Kaikki sujui erinomaisesti.
• secsec (9/5): Grateful - Nice
• Janice (9/5): Property is conveniently located to many attractions, restaurants, convenience stores and shopping. - The rental is conveniently located to the Trevi Fountain, Piazza della Madonna di Loreto, various restaurants, and a convenience store immediately to the right of the front door of the property! One bathroom for two couples.
• Belinda (10/5): Conveniently located and comfortable - N/A There was an odor in the first bedroom that may have been a sewage issue that we didn’t notice until the second day.
• Luca (7/5): -
• Joaquín (10/5): -
• antoine (10/5): -
• Ioannis (10/5): - Great location, comfortable beds, fast check in
• Manel (7/5): -
• Mouna (10/5): Séjour extraordinaire - Très bon accueil. Service parfait. Séjour sans mauvaise surprise J’ai tout apprécié car j’ai passé un très bon séjour
• Pasquale (10/5): -
• Stacy (8/5): -
• Yvonne (10/5): - Great location & quiet. Great having a kitchen & washing machine.
• Bernhard (9/5): Schönes Apartment in perfekter Lage - Ein sehr schönes Apartment, die Lage ist einfach perfekt, man kann vieles zu Fuß erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut, hat uns kurzfristig den Transfer vom Flughafen organisiert und dann am Apartment auf uns gewartet. Sehr zu empfehlen. Wenn man überhaupt was bemängeln möchte, dann, dass keine Kaffeemaschine da war, der italienische Espressokocher ist nicht jedermanns Sache.
• RUSSELL (9/5): Very enjoyable - Location. Responsive and informative hosts.
• Rita (8/5): -
• JOSE RAMON (10/5): -
• Anri (9/5): We enjoyed our stay very much and wished we could have stayed longer. - The apartment provided for all our needs Nothing
• Edit (10/5): Dream location - We stayed at the accommodation for three nights, arriving in Rome with two children, so a good location was essential. The Colosseum was a 20-minute walk, the Trevi Fountain just 5 minutes away, and the Pantheon also about 5 minutes from the property. It truly couldn’t have been better. The apartment features two separate bedrooms, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. All rooms are air-conditioned, which was very useful during the July heat. Our hosts, Sabrina and Davide, also assisted us with arranging the airport transfer. We would gladly return here anytime.
• Alvarez Orozco (10/5): - The location was perfect, in the middle of the city
• Gurmeet (10/5): Exceptional -
• Miwa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brad (9/5): Great location in Rome. Good value for the money. Landlord was responsive and helpful. Nice! - The owner/host was very nice, explained things welll, was very responsive and met us on time to get us into the unit. The unit is in a fantastic location being in the middle of everything. 2 min walk to Trevi, restaurants right out the door, convenient shop and ATM near by. Great location! Apartment had 2 bedrooms, kitchen and 1 bathoom. The sink and toilet were split up making it easier to get ready. Bathroom facilities were ok. Shower was small but serviceable.
• Jeffrey (9/5): Superb -
• Triantafyllou (10/5): Great location, large, clean, comfortable - Lovely large, clean apartment. Good size shower and convenience of a washing machine. Large comfortable rooms. Great location. Close to everything and a nice quiet area.
• Shiri (8/5): Very good - Great location close to all the main attractions the building itself is historical and nice the furniture needs renovation
• Leslie (8/5): Lovely long weekend in Rome, great location, helpful hosts, couldn’t have hoped for a better stay! - The location is perfect, walking distance from everything. Two very comfortable double beds and a comfortable sitting room and kitchen. The host was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. The shower is fine, but needs a bit of attention.
• Jeannette (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious apartment and a great location.
• Janet (9/5): Superb -
• Kelly (9/5): Beautiful apartment very spacious and comfortable - It was very central and close to a lot of the monuments. Beds were super comfortable. Hosts are very helpful and reply quickly to any queries. Nothing
• Connolly (8/5): Excellent accommodation for our 5 day trip(2 adults and teenager) - The location, walking distance to all major sights. The character of the building. The comfort of the apartment and great beds. Well appointed kitchen, only used for breakfast. Washing machine and good size drying rack. The shower is functional.
• Tina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anita (5/5): Passable -
• Sara (10/5): Spacious, clean, and exceptionally comfortable sanctuary in the heart of Rome. - The location was superb. A couple of blocks from the Trevi Fountain, yet secluded in a quiet neighborhood away from the throngs of tourists. Really good restaurant (Abruzzi) right downstairs with yummy food and super friendly service. The apartment was like a sanctuary after touring Rome all day. It was so nice to have space to decompress. The apartment was spotless and beautiful, overlooking a courtyard. Although there's only 1 bathroom, it's thoughtfully designed with a few doors so that someone can use the sink area, which is separated by a door from the shower and toilet area, so that was helpful. Having a washing machine and drying racks was also handy. The heat pumps/AC units worked well. We never had time to really use the kitchen, but everything was there, save for a dish towel or two. The host was very friendly and always responsive. It was so nice to have such a spacious and comfortable home base while in Rome!
• Gary (10/5): The hosts are very responsive and the property has everything necessary for a relaxing stay. Best choice in Rome! - It was clean, spacious and located perfectly for sightseeing.
• Nancy (9/5): Superb - location was great and the beds were super comfortable!!!! I wish they would have left more toilet paper
• Robyn (8/5): Comfortable and roomy close to the action - Good location with a lift for luggage which was really handy, roomy and comfortable and really good communication with hosts Expected there to be some tea/coffee and milk as part of the accommodation, also some washing up equipment for kitchen sink/tea towel to save needing to get those but then again it is an apartment not a hotel so not a big thing
• Ian (6/5): Excellent location disappointing apartment. - The location was excellent very close to many of the sights and within walking distance to many more with good bus routes close by. The security porter was extremely helpful assisting us in gaining access. The host had agreed to allow us access at 1pm but didn't arrive until almost 3pm. The ironing board didn't work and the knives needed sharpening as it was difficult to even slice a tomato. There was no coffee provided on arrival plus there was very few kitchen essentials provided, for example no pepper! The dishwasher was in poor condition and the shower was poor.
• Jeff (9/5): Excellent location, quality furnishings, and overall stay. Would definitely stay here again. - Excellent location only a few blocks from Trevi Fountain and centrally located for everywhere else. Very comfortable for family of 4 and potentially longer stay if needed. Would have been nice to have a few essentials available upon arrival: paper towels for kitchen, 1-2 portions of coffee, bottle of water. (Not a problem to buy any of that locally, unless arriving late.)
• Andrew (8/5): Good location and value - Location is good for exploring Rome. The apartment is large, clean and quiet. Air conditioners were very temperamental and needed to be reset every day. Check in instructions should be made more clear and delivered days before arrival. There is an elevator but it stops on like every 3rd floor. Tiny shower with huge rain head that you can't get away from.
• Kashif (10/5): Excellent location and apartment amenities. Highly recommend. - The location was perfect. It was near the Piazzo Venezia and we were able to walk to the colosseum, pantheon and trevi. The apartment itself was clean and the air conditioning was excellent. Nothing to complain about. was a great stay.
• Jane (10/5): Great location, sweet host - The apartment looks new and clean. The location is great, easy walk to all sites. The host is very helpful and sweet. She met us and provided help on cab and tips on all counts promptly. She even checked upon us after we left Rome, the sweetest host I have ever met. Nothing not to like
• Gisela (9/5): Superb -
• Svana (8/5): We had the most wonderful time in Rome and would like to come back some day. - The location was perfect right in the center of Rome. We felt very safe, it is very quiet although in the middle of the city. We came very late so we walked to see Trevi Fountain (5 min walk) in the middle of the night which I recommend since there were few people around. Loved the place :) Nothing I can think of really!
• Gillian (10/5): Amazing stay in Rome - The apartment was in an ideal location, close to all the major tourist attractions. It was a lovely clean spacious apartment with two good sized double bedrooms and it was kitted out with all the facilities that you could possibly require. Situated next door to an excellent restaurant the Abruzzi. There was nothing that we didn’t like
• Sharon (8/5): Great comfy place to stay - Everyone we dealt with was super nice. Arranged pick up at airport with awesome driver.
• Jesse (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): Amazing Apartment!! Would definitely recommend to friends and family! - The apartment was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, perfect location and felt very safe. The Host was amazing and did everything she could to help out with anything we needed. Absolutely nothing to dislike!!
• Zisi (8/5): Very good -
• Oliver (9/5): Superb - It was excellent 👏
• James (6/5): Great location and comfortable - Great location and a good restaurant downstairs. Has air conditioning and is a large space. Wifi signal outside of bedrooms was very bad - needs a repeater. In the bedroom, wifi speed was 65mbps download and 5mbps upload. Lift does not go to floor, you have to go up then descend three flights of stairs which is no good for people with mobility issues. No coffee machine or toaster, shower very small
• Zeynep (10/5): Everything was perfect - The location of the apartment was very good. It was right in the centre. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We were very pleased Nothing
• Michael (6/5): Would have been an excellent place if not for the unfortunate issues . - Location was excellent, very close to many of the major sites. The apartment was spacious with fully equipped kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms (queen size beds) but only one bathroom. Also has a combination washer/dryer. Our host was very friendly. The WiFi router was broken so had no WiFi. The host was kind enough to refund a small portion of the money we paid to compensate for the lack of WiFi service. The AC unit in the kitchen area had an awful smell (sewage) when it initial turned on but went away after being on for several hours. Also, the elevator was out of service one of the days (apartment is located up three flights of stairs).
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (8/5): Great place to stay in Rome. Perfect if you have a car. Arrive sunday to avoid ZTL fines. - very helpful. Came downstairs and helped with our parking. Italy is not a tourist friendly place for language. All the signs are difficult to read so the help was welcomed. the lounge/couch was different from the picture and it was a little uncomfortable. Actually, very uncomfortable.
• Estefania (8/5): Overall it was ok. - Location is great and staff are really friendly. Towels are really old and shower could be better and cleaner.
• Teri (8/5): Great apartment in the heart of Rome - Plenty of room for a family, fully equiped kitchen, super comfortable beds and combo washer/dryer that was a godsend after 2 weeks of travelling We were on the 3rd floor and the left in the building was out of order for our entire stay, very difficult getting 4 suitcases up and down the stairs.
• Linda (9/5): would definitely go back! - great location, clean and spacious nothing
• Emer (7/5): Good - Location was great Air conditioning was badly timed and hard to control
• Travis (9/5): Superb -
• Sheri (8/5): Although spendy, I think for two bedrooms in the heart of Rome, it was great. - You couldn’t ask for a better location. The BEST restaurant we tried was directly below us. The apt was clean, big enough and the beds comfortable—-and it being nearly 100 degrees outside—good air conditioning! We had been traveling for a couple weeks prior to arriving here so the washer/dryer was appreciated. The host was helpful—even carrying up our luggage. There was only one towel per person and not enough toilet paper. The elevator was broken.
• Paola (5/5): great location and spacious apartment. the AC kept turning off and the owner was not much help - spacious and location broken AC very hot in apartment
• Matthew (7/5): Good -
• Giselle (10/5): Exceptional - Location is prime! We have 2 small children and moving around the city was perfect.
• Gurpreet (9/5): Perfect location, great apartment, would definitely go back - Perfect location, really nice and modern with an authentic Italian feel
• Chen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heidi (9/5): great location, great host, well priced. thanks. - great location. property had all we needed. -
• Era (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eliso (10/5): The stay was superb - The location is perfect. Very helpful and kind host. The flat was perfectly located, near for every location and quiet for sleep at the same time. Well equipped with everything.
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (8/5): Very good - Very kind and helpful host. The location is perfect.
• Leland (7/5): it was a great place to stay for our 10 days, it just needs a few improvements. I would also say to watch out for shady - property is very central to everything in Rome. I’ve been to Rome several times and this was the most central to everything. the apartment was very roomy which is something you don’t usually find in most European countries. The furniture is IKEA stuff, so don’t think fancy, and one of the folding chairs used at the table collapsed under me while we were there. I get it though, you don’t want really good furniture getting destroyed. the host David was great. He arranged our transport to and from the airport for a reasonable price, and was always easy to contact if needed. while I wouldn’t expect high furniture, the chairs and sofa could be updated. The towels also need to be replaced. while they didn’t have holes in them, they were definitely not quality.
• Maria (9/5): Superb -
• Lisbeth (6/5): Pleasant - The location was perfect and central. There are an elevator if needed. The bedrooms where big and spacious, the beds was really good. The kitchen could be overlooked. There were not glasses matching how many people that the apartment was set up for. The chairs in the kitchen was really bad, the backrest was very soft. It felt like it should break every tie you leaned back. The couch was very worn out, when you sat in it, pieces of the material came off. It would be very easy for the owner to do something about it, for example upgrade both chairs, couch and complete glasses.
• Helen (10/5): Super apartment - Super location for visiting Rome but quite as well. As two ladies travelling we felt very safe and comfortable here. Nice welcome and quick replies to messages. Nothing it was super highly recommend this apartment.
• Lena (8/5): Very good -
• Noel (10/5): The ONLY place to stay in Rome! - This apartment is stunning, so clean and modern, well appointed, in a gorgeous old building with lots of charm and character. The central location is mind blowing, you go for a stroll and within 5 minutes you are stumbling across the Trevvi Fountain or Presidential Palaces. In less than 20 minutes you’re at the colosseum. And after a long hot day of sweating through the streets of Rome, you can come back and relax in an air conditioned lounge with a chilled wine, whilst planning your restaurant for the evening. The owner is charming and very helpful. One of my best experiences ever whilst using booking.com There is nothing to not like. it’s central yet just a couple of blocks back from all the main attractions, so you can wander everywhere and when you get back, the apartment is just outside of the hustle and noise making it a perfect quiet retreat.
• Gallagher (9/5): Superb -
• Monika (8/5): Very good - location Air condition wasn’t working well
• Tom (9/5): Very good place to stay in middle of Rome. Good size apartment for family. -
