    Marco is a true host. Prompt, attentive, and professional.

  • André from Ireland (10/10)

    It was a perfect stay. The owner spoke in english with us and was very helpful telling us where to go for eating and pharmacy, supermarkets, etc… We were in 4 people and we were very comfortable in the apartment. Thanks very much !

  • Leila from France (10/10)

    Wonderful stay ! The apartment is near the cipro metro station. Marco provided us a map with good information. He also offered to store our luggage on the last day which is much appreciated

  • Tsvetelina from Bulgaria (10/10)

    We also have apartments for rent in Bulgaria and I am aware of what to expect when I rent an apartment through booking.com. for our vacation.
    The truth is that all of us are delighted with this apartment and with the attitude of our host Dora and before that Marco. Dora was extremely patient to wait for us late in the evening for check in, and continued to be smiling and kind while settling us in and explaining everything about the apartment, places to visit, restaurants, cloth stores, etc.
    The apartment was extremely clean /no exaggeration/, tastefully decorated, very close to the Vatican. The area is very quiet and communicative. The restaurants are a few steps away, and the food in them is incredibly delicious. The metro is literally a 3-4 minute walk away.
    Now we rate it a 10, but if we could it would be at least a 50!
    Thank you, Dora! We will certainly recommend this apartment to our loved ones traveling to Rome, and we ourselves will benefit from a repeat stay with our lovely hosts!

  • Carmela from Australia (10/10)
