Reviews
Liu from Finland (10/10)
Very clean apartment with everything to make us feel this is our home away from home.
Great space for three of us. It's too bad the weather was still too cold for us to enjoy the terrace, I would imagine a wonderful time to drink my coffee on the terrace if our stay is on warmer days.
The location of this apartment is excellent. It's close to the colosseum, many great pastries shops nearby. Metro station is just a few minutes away by walking.
The host is friendly, communicative and very helpful. I received very clear information for the questions I asked.Oberschmidt from Germany (10/10)
The apartment was beautiful and we will remember it always as a highlight of our Rome experience. We had lunch on the terrace twice even though it was February. The location is ideal.

– The sympathy of our hostess, Cláudia.Akehurst from United Kingdom (9/10)
We loved the apartment! It’s in the perfect location a short walk from the Colosseum and main train station. Felt a very safe area with some nice restaurants (La Vecchia Conca) and cafes (081) a few minutes walk away. Kitchen had everything you needed, supermarket was very close by which stocked everything if you wanted to cook.
Apartment very clean, lovely big terrace and the beds were super comfortable.
Our host Claudia was super helpful as well – 5 stars all round!Christina from Australia (10/10)
This is a great apartment. It is located only a few blocks from the colosseum, palatine and forum. Lots of restaurants and small corner stores close. It is back off the road being the back building behind the interior courtyard makes it quiet with very little noise. Host was wonderful met me on arrival showed me around the apartment. Offered assistance if required during my stay. This would be the first place I look to stay when I return to Rome.
Amelie from Italy (10/10)

Anik from Switzerland (10/10)
The bed was the most comfortable I ever slept in. High-quality mattress and bedding, and plenty of room. Terrace is huge and very pleasant. Location is wonderful, very central. No noise whatsoever during the night, you can't hear the neighbors nor the cars on the road. Really perfect.
Raihana from France (9/10)
The house if very cute and the kitchen is well furnished if you want to cook. The terrace is very pretty and you can walk to the city center
