Guest Reviews
- Fras Bo (9/5): -
- Giacomo (8/5): -
- Cima (8/5): -
- ANTONIO FERNANDO (9/5): - As respostas rápidas do proprietário quanto as necessidades que tivemos durante a estadia.
A atenção da Lunna que também foi muito prestativa
Agradeço a gentileza e o respeito demonstrado conosco como hóspedes.
Obrigado Kevin e Lunna por nos proporcionar uma estadia tranquila
- Sofia (10/5): -
- Clémence (10/5): - L'emplacement, la modernité de l'infrastructure, un contact constant avec le personnel et le check in check out facilité.
- ANDREA (4/5): Alloggio deludente - La camera molto piccola e umida, così come bagno e doccia dove c'era evidente muffa, bidet assente. Il frigorifero all'interno della stanza è rumoroso. I rumori esterni, soprattutto quello del portoncino di ingresso, davvero forti. Le tende oscuranti per niente oscuranti. Al nostro arrivo trovato copripiumino sporco con evidendi macchie, di vario genere...... , abbiamo sollevato il problema al host, con relative foto, il quale, gentilmente, ci ha risposto che avrebbero provveduto il giorno dopo: il che vuol dire che avremmo dovuto dormire in quelle condizioni.
- Kristine (7/5): Correct pour le prix. - Personnel très aimable. Belle cour intéressant. Peu d’équipements, moisissure dans la salle de
Bain. Loin du centre mais les transports en commun sont très bien organisés.
- Musial (9/5): - Lokalizacja
- Tomas (9/5): - We had a good stay in Essenza house and honestly, if again in Rome I'd stay again :) If you are at least little bit in shape, it is walkable to main tourist spots from there. If not, it is a few minutes walk to bus stop or about 10 minutes to metro... Rooms are smaller but enough for normal city trip... Excellent communication with owner via WA...
- abbate (10/5): -
- San Leopoldo (6/5): -
- Donato (8/5): - Buona posizione, struttura carina. Scalini per entrare, e quindi difficoltà con passeggino. Camera troppo piccola per 2 persone e un neonato.
- Grazia (8/5): -
- FRANCESCO (8/5): -
- Neli (10/5): Great property!! 100% recommended - Everything! The location, the cleanliness, the staff, the price. I will repeat definitely in the same place! None
- Gloria (7/5): Buona location, peccato per l'odore di muffa/umido. - Comunicazione con l'host eccellente, molto reattivo e disponibile. La stanza era pulita, grande abbastanza e in una bella zona: abbastanza vicina alla stazione del treno e a poca distanza a piedi dai punti d'interesse. Forte odore di muffa e umidità nella stanza. Ho patito un po' la notte essendo asmatica. Abbiamo lasciato le finestre aperte per far circolare l'aria il più possibile.
- Michèle (6/5): Déçus par rapport aux commentaires des autres voyageurs et aux 4 étoiles annoncées - La situation assez proche de la gare , un quartier agréable bien desservi en transport en commun.
Le lit était confortable , la cour de l'immeuble très jolie et la petite cuisine commune aussi Notre chambre était très sombre, même par grand soleil
Dans la cuisine qui est censée servir à plusieurs chambres il y avait très peu de couverts et d'assiettes ; pas de torchons pour essuyer la vaisselle.
La porte d'entrée fait du bruit , même en faisant attention et vous réveille si les voisins rentrent tard. Insonorisation des chambres moyenne
- d18c9b343e7d739252811b10d4729d06 (8/5): - Abbastanza pulito Troppo piccolo il bagno e la stanza
- GAETANO (9/5): -

- Gyöngyi (7/5): -
- Katarina (9/5): - Great price for a great location. Room was nice and clean. Nothing, everything was top notch!
- Sonia (7/5): Consigliato - Abbiamo apprezzato questa struttura per la cortesia del gestore, per la pulizia degli ambienti e soprattutto per la posizione che permette di raggiungere il centro storico a piedi. La camera era poco spaziosa.
- Luca (8/5): - Ottima posizione
- Alessandro (9/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - Sono stata solo una notte e per me è stato un’ottimo soggiorno. La camera non è grandissima ma per soggiorni di 3/4 notti è un’ottima soluzione. Posizione e quartiere molto belli!

- M (10/5): -
- Sanino (9/5): -
- Krista (8/5): - Nice room and shared dining/kitchen space. Super easy check-in thanks to clear directions and video messages from the owner. Nothing. Good value and just what we needed.
- agnese (9/5): - Struttura accogliente e host disponibile
- Fátima (10/5): -
- Arnaldo (8/5): - Struttura pulita e molto accogliente, macchinetta del caffè perfettamente funzionante e cialde di qualità. È giusto specificarlo perché in molte strutture non è così... Nulla da segnalare
- Alessandro (9/5): - Questo affittacamere si trova in una buona posizione a 5 minuti di bus dalla Stazione Termini e ben servita dai suddetti mezzi pubblici. Ottima la zona con un' altra concentrazione di ristoranti e tranquilla anche nelle ore serali. La struttura è un appartamento di uno edificio signorile con portineria, con corridoio e cucina, molto puliti, eleganti ed ordinati, ottimi la volta a mattoni e l' illuminazione artificiale della cucina e del corridoio. La ns. camera doppia, la Macro, con vista sul cortile interno dello stabile, un po' piccola, ma raffinata, insieme al bagno pulitissima, con bellissima pavimentazione dello stesso tipo di quella delle parti comuni e la parete adiacente al bagno, con una stupenda carta da parati. Buono il bagno con una piccola finestra, grande box doccia, senza bidet ma con un tubo allungabile accanto il wc utilizzabile per una particolare pulizia. All'interno forse due sedie e un piccolo tavolo con cassetti dove era posta la TVe un puff. Consigliamo molto questa struttura, saremo felici di ritornarci. Sarebbe stato utile uno zerbino all'ingresso dell' appartamento che mancava. Tra le tovaglie del bagno non c'erano delle piccole tovagliette per l'intimo. La doccia disponeva solo del grande soffione al soffitto, sarebbe stato più comodo per le ns. esigenze avere anche la doccia con il tubo. Cambierei lo scopino del wc un po' antico. I comodini accanto il letto erano troppo semplici sarebbero stati più utili dei comodini con cassetti più capienti, visto l' esiguo spazio della stanza e magari delle mensole in alcune pareti. Per una svista del personale delle pulizie, non son stati collocati i saponi e detergenti, che il titolare si è offerto di procurare quando glielo abbiamo comunicato ma avevamo comunque provveduto con qualcosa che avevamo portato da casa. Ci saremmo aspettati un minimo sconto sulla tassa di soggiorno, per il piccolo disagio involontariamente creato a noi ospiti, ma ciò, il comunque gentilissimo host, non ha forse ritenuto necessario farlo.
- María Leonor (10/5): - La ubicación, está cerca de la estación Roma Termini.
El sector es hermoso -
- florin.cfi (10/5): Best place to stay in Rome. - Everything is simply perfect.
- Chiara (10/5): -
- Jose (10/5): Local incrível - Conforto
- MICHELE (9/5): -
- Emiliano (8/5): - La ambientación, la ubicación. El check in se realizó tarde porque la habitación no estaba lista. Particularmente había sucedido algo que impidió que el personal de limpieza pueda realizar las tareas.
- Stefano (8/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Ottimo - La struttura era pulita e ordinata e ha una fermata autobus a 5 minuti a piedi
Sono presenti kit bagno
La camera è stata pulita tutti i giorni Per me non è stato un problema, ma segnalo che la camera era parecchio calda (non so se fosse questione di riscaldamento centralizzato)
- W (9/5): Comfortabel - Friendly owner, kitchen
- Jil (9/5): Short stay but a very nice one! :) - Short stay but it was very clean and nice!
- Gaetano (8/5): -
- sara zambelli (9/5): Il nostro soggiorno è stato breve ma la struttura ha soddisfatto a pieno le nostre esigenze - La camera e il bagno erano di dimensioni adeguati e puliti. Non abbiamo usufruito dello spazio cucina per la brevità del nostro soggiorno ma l'ho trovata una bella idea, e fornita di ciò che potrebbe essere utile. Il check in è stato facile e immediato. La camera era un po' buia perché affaccia su una corte interna, ma non ci si può fare niente. Apprezzabile d'altro canto la lontananza dal traffico della strada.
- YAN (8/5): -
- Antoine (10/5): Agréable et calme - Très agréable, confortable, sans nuisance. Logement propre et personnel réactif et arrangeant pour laisser les bagages au départ/arrivee
- Vanja (8/5): - The location is ideal to reach the centre on foot and is only 20 minutes from Termini. Unfortunately we stayed only one night, so we did not have a chance to fully use all the potentials. The instructions how to get in the apartment were precise, so we entered the apartment with ease. The apartment is on ground floor, overlooking the internal courtyard, so we felt pretty safe, although we kept the window closed. There is a shared kitchen you can use, however we did not use it as we did not have time. Overall, we were satisfied. The fact that it is in the ground floor, and that the bathroom is a bit small.

- anup (1/5): A nightmare stay — rude host, wrong room, and endless trouble from start to end. - Only check-in was smooth because of the video, he provided This was the worst and most stressful stay I have ever experienced. The room I received was completely different from what was shown on Booking.com — it had no sofa, was much smaller, and had barely any walking space. The bed was uncomfortable, the bathroom had mould, and the door opened in two parts, making it very inconvenient. You can’t even open your luggage properly because of the lack of space.
When I politely requested a room change, Paolo (the host) told me that the property was fully booked for the next three days. However, I later saw new guests checking in to other rooms that were vacated — proving that rooms were available. I was not asking for an upgrade, only for the room I had paid for, yet he completely ignored my messages and lied to me.
To make things worse, Paolo started sending me threatening WhatsApp messages, saying he would report me to the police, municipality, and even block my bank accounts, simply because I told him I would pay the €35 tourist tax once I reached home (as my flight was overbooked by ITA Airways and I had to reroute through EgyptAir). His tone was rude, intimidating, and totally unprofessional.
The location is also not convenient at all. I wish I had read the reviews before booking this property. It looked like a central and convenient place on Booking.com, but in reality, everything is far — you either have to take a bus or book a car. We finally rented a car for three days just to be able to move around easily. Even entering and exiting the property is a hassle because you have to open three different gates each time.
If you still choose to stay here (which I honestly don’t recommend), make sure you:
• Confirm in writing exactly which room you are getting before you arrive.
• Carry only small luggage, as there’s no space for big bags.
• Be mentally prepared for unexpected things and the host’s attitude.
And definitely avoid the first room on the right side when you enter the property (I believe it’s Room No.
- Denise (10/5): - Chouette petite place pour visiter Rome abordable. Propre, neuf et sécuritaire. Petite cuisinette commune a 4 chambres propre et très bien équipée. Cour intérieure accueillante. Contact avec proprio facile et précis. Rien a redire
- Arina (10/5): Все было супер ! -
- Pavel (9/5): - Quite place -
- Marjorie (10/5): Très bien et confortable - La chambre était spacieuse, le personnel accueillant et réactif. Le logement est plutôt bien situé et très calme. Il y a des restaurants très sympathiques autour. Attention aux prises, une ne fonctionnait pas tandis que mon sèche-cheveux est resté bloqué dans une autre.
- Lijntje (9/5): Lovely stay in Rome - Loved this stay in rome, the room was nice, not very big but thats totally okay for the price. I liked the interior. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets around so thats very nice.
Also felt very safe because you are inside the apartment building.
We spent a couple days here and it was perfect for a bit of a longer stay, you could get housekeeping every day so that was unexpected for me but very nice! The room is not very sound proof, we could hear other people leaving and coming in, for us it was okay but for other that might be an issue.

- Sara (10/5): 10/10 stay in Rome - Great location with a lot of different bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Room is clean and tidy, with everything you need for your stay. Host Paolo is super nice and responsive. Nice little kitchenette with a dining area is available at the property with small bites options available to have with your morning coffee or tea, also available in the kitchenette. All in all - great value for money, I highly recommend!
- Tyla (10/5): Great stay - Paolo was of great help, his instructions for check in were 10/10 fabulous! Nice and tidy room.
We loved the location, it was a friendly and what seemed to be a local sort of neighbourhood with great restaurants etc.
10 minute walk to the metro was great.
- Serena (8/5): - Pulita, belle camere Nulla
- Alessandro (10/5): -
- Garance (10/5): Very enjoyable stay in Rome - Very clean; spacious and comfortable. The room was still fresh despite very hot weather as it’s located on the ground floor (on the backyard side so quiet and safe).
- Valeria (10/5): It’s a really great value for the money, we would definitely come back :) - It‘s located in a beautiful house with a great location, just a few minutes away from Termini with the bus.
The room was cozy, cool, and really clean. The instructions from the owner were clear about how to get the keys, find the way, etc. He also replied very quick.:) I have nothing to complain about :)
- Davide (9/5): Superb -
- Jessie (8/5): - Markets and restaurants close by.
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jessica (9/5): Superb - Great position in a nice area close to the train station! The owner is really kind and helpful if anything is needed!
- Raman (8/5): Very good -
- Marina (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and well-maintained, with a good location and has everything listed. Recommendations!
- Nathan (6/5): Basic accommodation. Host was very responsive when needed -
- Fakhri (10/5): Peaceful - We enjoyed this place a lot! The host explained in details how we must enter the guesthouse. Everything in the room was in good condition so we're satisfied with the comfort of the place.
- Bianca (9/5): Cozy - Like:
- modern room
- close to coffee shops
- easy check in
Dislike:
- if someone wakes up at 6 AM and makes a coffee, the sound from the common space made by the coffee machine wakes you up
- Nazlı (8/5): Very good -
- Iana (9/5): Superb - Very cozy apartment 15 minutes walk from Termini, but far enough from it to be safe. Villa Borghese and Villa Torlonia are nearby, the historic center of Rome and all the sights are about half an hour on foot. The apartment has a small shared kitchen where you can prepare coffee or have some cookies and snacks. The rooms are cleaned daily. The owner, Paolo, was very hospitable and was in touch with me on Whatsapp with all questions The rooms are not very large, as it seemed from the photos at first, but it's ok to stay for a few days.
- Sirpa (9/5): Superb - Very clean and tidy. Refrigerator in kitchen and in the room. Coffee machine and a possibility to cook water and heat food in the microwave Owen. I need a flat pillow, had difficulties with the pillow, otherwise it was very good
- Justinas (8/5): Very good -
- Yes (7/5): Peaceful neighbourhood - The place had all the amenities one could ask for and is located in a peaceful neighbourhood. The owner, Mr. Paolo, was incredibly attentive from the very beginning, providing clear instructions for key collection and ensuring everything was in order.
During our stay, a transportation strike in Rome prevented the cleaning staff from arriving. As soon as we arrived, I informed Mr. Paolo about the situation and he promptly came to the site to organize the entire room himself. His quick and personal response to the unexpected issue was impressive.
Overall, I recommend this place for its comfort, tranquillity, and good service. Although there was a non-smoking area sign on the site, there was an odour of cigarette smoke around the room and inside the room.
- Denis (10/5): Exceptional -
- ERIKA (10/5): - struttura moderna, accogliente e con tutti i confort necessari
- Nikolaos (7/5): Good -
- Shelley (10/5): - Un hotel que nos satisfizo muchísimo. El Sr Paolo siempre estuvo atento a nuestras inquietudes. Un lugar muy acogedor.
- Patricia (7/5): Good -
