Elena from Moldova (10/10)
I booked the apartment for my family. They really enjoyed their staying, everything was perfect, it is a very well-organised apartment. Beds were comfy and you can find everything you need in the kitchen. A comfortable place right near the San Giovanni Basilica, metro station, supermarkets and cafes. And the host, Mr Simone is very hospitable, he showed and explained everything to my relatives, so I was sure they are safe during their trip. Grazie mille, Simone! Ci vediamo!

Simone fue muy agradable y estuvo muy atento con nosotros, nos explicó todo y nos aconsejó muy bien sobre la ciudad. La casa está muy bien ubicada, viajamos con 4 niños y pudimos visitar el centro andando con los peques. Sin duda un gran alojamiento y jna gran atención.
Gracias!Dominique from France (8/10)
la proximité de sites historiques. La proximité du métro.
Krzysztof from Poland (9/10)
Lokalizacja (w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie znajdują się najważniejsze zabytki, do których można dotrzeć spacerem na piechotę / do najbliższej stacji metra, którym można dotrzeć do Watykanu również można dostać się pieszo w ciągu kilku minut).
Komfort mieszkania na kilkudniowy wyjazd turystyczny jest absolutnie wystarczający. W apartamencie znajdują się 3 wygodne sypialnie (z łóżkami 2 osobowymi). W centralnej części znajduje się mały salon, w którym można spokojnie zjeść posiłek. W kuchni znajdują się niezbędne urządzenia (płyta indukcyjna, kuchenka mikrofalowa, ekspres do kawy) / sprzęty (sztućce, naczynia, garnki itp.) umożliwiające przygotowanie nawet porządniejszego obiadu kolacji.Jose from Spain (10/10)
Es un apartamento amplio de 3 habitaciones que responde muy bien a la descripción y fotos de booking. A dos pasos de la basílica San Juan de Letrán y bien comunicado por metro, tranvía y bus. Hacia bastante frío en la calle, pero la calefacción funcionaba perfectamente. El anfitrión es encantador y siempre dispuesto a ayudar n lo que pueda. Volvería sin duda alguna.
Christian from Germany (8/10)
Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut. Von hier aus ist alles fußläufig zu erreichen.
Der Bäcker ist vor der Tür,der auch sehr leckere Pizzen verkauft.
Der nächste Supermarkt ist genauso wie die Metro gleich um die Ecke.
Es waren 3 Schlafzimmer vorhanden, was wir sehr gut fanden.
Simone der Gastgeber hat 11 von 10 Punkten verdient. Er hat sich sehr sehr gut gekümmert, immer wieder nachgefragt ob alles ok ist und das Taxi für die Hin- und Rückfahrt zum Flughafen organisiert.
