The hospitality at this property was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. They were always ready to assist with a smile, whether it was offering helpful recommendations, resolving issues promptly, or simply ensuring I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It’s rare to experience such genuine care and dedication, and it made my stay feel special. This level of hospitality is what sets great properties apart, and I can’t praise it enough!
Tamrunina from Georgia (9/10)
მდებარეობა მეტროდან ძალიან ახლოსაა, ძირითად ღირსშესანიშნაობებამდე ფეხითაც მიხვალთ. საუზმედ უგემრიელესი დესერტებია. ოთახში დაგხვდებათ მაცივარი, ფენი, ყავის კაფსულები, შამპუნები და პირსახოცები. სამზარეულოც კარგად არის აღჭურვილი. მეპატრონე ძალიან ყურადღებიანია, რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 💕

◼︎Location and Owner’s personality
Easy to access to sightseeing spots and the apartment it self by subway.
We checked-in later hours than check-in time. However, the owner provided self check-in with no extra charge. It should’ve happened and we recommend that user have to check-in on time, but we are really appreciated a kindness the owner has.Kristina from Bulgaria (9/10)
Giulia is a wonderful and very attentive host.
The location of the apartment is more than perfect. The metro station is just around the corner, and the Colosseum is no more than a 30-minute walk away.
The apartment is clean and has everything someone would need on their vacation.Tamara from Spain (9/10)
The property is very clean, new, a big apartment, and a nice terrace.
Matheus from Brazil (9/10)
The place is comfortable, close to the subway and near to nice places to eat. The hosts were very kind and despite being on a noisy place, to sleep is silent.
Magdolin from Israel (9/10)
The hosts were very friendly and gave a lot of great recommendations. The breakfast in the cafe was amazing. One time we requested the cleaning lady for an accident that happened in the apartment and they sent her right away with no extra fee. We also had the possibility to leave our luggage in the common area after checkout which was super helpful.
