    The location was amazing. We could walk to most sites in Rome, and lots of great shops and restaurants near by. The host Antonella was very kind and generous and allowed us to leave luggage as we had a late flight.

    Lovely, large sitting room, comfortable bed and good shower. Great location, including nice restaurant just around the corner. Couldn't hear the city. Lots of homely touches, like books, toiletries, maps.

  • Patricia from Netherlands (10/10)

    The lovely Antonella was waiting for us with the keys and gave us a tour of the apartment, which was spacious and fantastically located. She had even provided coffee and milk for us! The apartment is three floors up with windows that open to a tiny inner court, which meant we could have fresh air without street noise. Would definitely stay here again.
