• Luis from Germany (9/10)

  The apartment was in really good condition! Kitchen it is very well equipped with all you need to cook something.( Oil, salt, beer) Coffee machine and kettle. So everything you need! The room was also very good, bed was big and comfy, if to say something it is that there is a bucket for the AC water in one of the corners. The toilet was also very good, soap dispenser, shampoo and hair dryer too!
  
  The location was great too, a couple of minutes walking you have the metro line B. And right at the door are coming few busses that bring you very close to trastevere or even to pantheon, trevi and city center in about 20 minutes.

  Kiva asunto. Lähellä Ostiensen juna-asemaa ja Piramiden metroasemaa. Bussipysäkki vastapäätä. Lähistöllä supermarket, kahviloita ja ravintoloita. Talossa hissi. Todella mukava yllätys oli kahvikone ja ilmaiset kapselit aamukahvia varten.

  bell'appartamentino sulla Via Ostiense, accanto alla Metro Piramide, a molti ristoranti e locali di un quartiere molto vivace, a 20' a piedi dal Colosseo e tre minuti in metro. Ha tutto quello che serve per un breve, ma anche per un lungo soggiorno.
