Excellent location, you can see the Colosseum when stepping out on the street. The apartment is very clean, equipped kitchen. Heating easy to adjust. Alessandro was very helpful and accommodating to our requests. Would definitely stay again.

You can find the bus just near the appartement
The small super markets, bars and restaurants are just near
And the price is really reasonable ^^Ade from United Kingdom (9/10)
Great location and comfy bed. But the best thing about the stay was Alessandro, our host. He couldn't have been more helpful. Great communication and helpful with tips on places to eat and things to see which was great as ours was just a fleeting visit. Also provided an airport shuttle at reasonable price which made life so much easier… particularly as there was a public transport strike on our arrival.
Lee from United States (9/10)
Allesandro was very gracious and communicative as he allowed us to pickup the keys from a near by business as our plans were flexible and didn’t have a set arrival time.
Avadhut from United States (9/10)
The hostess/owner Lucia was kind, patient and super helpful while we struggled with the lost baggage issue (low rating for Lufthansa). Location is excellent- walking distance to most landmarks on a dry day. Enjoyed the stay.
Jack from Australia (10/10)

Anonymous from United States (10/10)
Location was excellent, it was well appointed, decorated and maintained. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a seamless and comfortable stay.
Nona from Spain (10/10)
Me ha gustado absolutamente todo. La ubicación, la comodidad,limpieza. En general el apartamento es super bonito, con su cocina y está muy bien equipado. El anfitrión super amable y trato excelente. Tuvimos el vuelo muy temprano y pensábamos que hasta las 14:00 no podríamos entrar, pero al llegar nos hemos encontrado sorpresa. Ya que los huéspedes anteriores han salido temprano, enseguida limpiaron el apartamento y a las 11:00 cuando hemos llegado ya estaba todo listo y pudimos hacer el check-in. Muy felices. Sin duda volveremos y mis recomendaciones 1000000%.
