    Congrats Danielle and thank you !! Filip and kids.

  • Michelle from United States (8/10)

    The apartment was really nice. The kitchen was well equipped. The hosts were great. I was late arriving and they were very patient! The location is near great restaurants and markets. The shower had good pressure and the bathroom large.

  • Luz from United States (10/10)

    The host was exceptionally helpful, friendly and went beyond with us

  • Kimberly from Canada (9/10)

    The hosts were exceedingly gracious. We booked this apartment at the last minute when we discovered that my son's passport had expired and we needed to go to the embassy in Rome to get him a new one. We initially booked for 4 nights but didn't know how long it would take. The hosts kindly blocked the apartment from additional bookings until we knew how long we needed to stay. They were so kind. The apartment is spacious! Clean and well appointed. My children enjoyed the toys and games available. The beds are comfortable; the kitchen is well equipped; they provided enough towels for the whole family. The AC is strong and kept the apartment cool despite a heat wave (note that use of AC costs an additional 10eu/night).

  • Philipp from Austria (10/10)

    Very nice apartment in a very nice area of Rome. It's not the typical tourist area but very lively with everything you need nearby. All the tourist areas can be reached easily with bus, tram or subway. Next time in Rome we will come here again!

  • Franc from Slovenia (10/10)

    Spacious, nicely decorated and clean apartment, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very close to the bus line, the nearest metro station is a couple of minutes away by bus.
    The owners were extremely friendly and very helpful, communication with them was excellent.

  • Péter from Hungary (10/10)

    The apartment is very comfortable. Bus stop is very close to the house. Several buses are available, which go either to a nearby metro station or to the historical center of Rome. There is a bar, a bakery and a "gelateria" very close to the apartment. Within some minutes of walk we could reach lot of shops.
    The host was very friendly and helpful. We were very satisfied with the apartment, as it was clean and well equipped.

  • Eder from Albania (10/10)

    EVERYTHING PERFECT 😍

  • Clare from Australia (9/10)

    Rome

    it was an absolute delight. Ilaria's kindness and the sheer joy made our stay a memorable one. She welcomed us like an old friend, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

    The location is excellent, with a bus stop nearby that provides easy access to multiple tourist attractions without much hassle. This convenience added to the overall positive experience of our stay.

    We genuinely loved every moment of our time here, and I can't recommend it enough. I'll be sure to tell everyone I know to book a stay a. It's a hidden gem that made our trip even more enjoyable.
