Iain from United Kingdom (10/10)
We had a lovely stay here, would definitely recommend for anyone travelling to Rome. Very comfortable living area and bedroom, large bathroom and shower and full kitchen facilities.
The entire apartment was in excellent condition and very clean.
For food we went to a Lidl about a 15/20 min walk away as we are familiar with the store but there is also a local supermarket a few mins walk away.
There are a variety of bus options to travel into the city depending on what area you are aiming for specifically.
We forgot to have cash on us for the city tax part of the fee paid on arrival but the hosts were very understanding and showed us where a nearby cash machine was for that (so don’t be like us and remember to bring cash 😂)
Host was very friendly and kept in touch to make sure everything was fine with the property.
Overall definitely would recommend, one of the best holiday apartments I’ve stayed at- especially for the priceTraian from Romania (9/10)

Great apartment in a quiet location. Very clean, easy checkin process. It's a bit further away from the main Rome attractions, but still easy to get to them by bus. Great choice if you want to escape from the bustle for a bit!
