Reviews

  • Gemma from United Kingdom (10/10)

    Such a lovely apartment, everything is brand new and so clean, nice touches with towels/slippers/soaps and shampoos etc. Simon is a wonderful host who went over and above to ensure we were comfortable with our stay and getting our way round the city and even took us to the airport for our return flight home. There is a bus stop right next to the property which can take you right into the centre of rome or to the nearest metro. The bed is comfortable and air-con in the bedroom is a life saver with the Italian heat. Lovely powerful shower too. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and more. Would definitely return.
