Reviews

• Galina from Netherlands (10/10)

  It was clean and spacious. Two sleeping places in two separate rooms. Everything was super nice.

• Svetlana from Ukraine (10/10)

  Excellent two bedroom apartment with all amenities and full furnishings. Right under the window bus stop, 250 meters from the house metro. 100 meters supermarket Penny, 200 meters supermarket Conad. To the center on the subway from 4 to 8 stops. Excellent location, quiet neighborhood. We liked everything very much!
  Thank you very much Valentina!

• Suzanne from Australia (10/10)

  We loved the cleanliness, comfort and decor of the apartment. Two balconies, one overlooking the street and other the internal courtyard were charming. Valentine was very easy to communicate with and the check in videos made the check in process very easy. The area is great, with a good supermarket a few doors away and lots of good restaurants close by. We enjoy walking and found the Appian Antica and the Colosseum with in easy walking distance. The metro is also close by. Rome is so much fun and I would not hesitate in recommending this apartment.

• Danilo from Serbia (10/10)

  The apartment is great, in an old building (I’d estimate it was built sometime between the 1930s and 1950s), but renovated, 70s style lamps and sofa, with high ceilings, retro outlets and switches, and an old retro elevator. It has an excellent layout, with one room (the living room) facing the street, and the other facing a quiet courtyard with a small fountain with fish. The location is excellent, close to the A metro line that takes you to the city center, and near markets, cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. It’s a quiet and safe part of the city.

• Roumen from United States (8/10)

  Clean apartment in a good neighborhood. Close to subway, coffee shop and grocery store. Good value relative to other offers at the time.

• Ann-kristin from Germany (9/10)

  The location of the apartment was amazing regarding restaurants, bars and the metro station. Valentina was very helpful during our check in (since we had quite some delay). We had a small issue with the bathroom and she solved it very fast. The rooms are very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need. The only downside is the extremly small shower, but we've known that before our booking so it was expected.
  We really liked the neighbourhood and the apartment building. It felt very safe and welcoming.

• Iancu from Romania (9/10)

  Thank you Valentina!

• Dejan from Serbia (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment in quite neighborhood. Good connection to the city centre.

• Annie from Canada (9/10)

  Spacious apartment with closed bedroom on the 3rd floor of a charming older building with a courtyard. Lots of cupboard space. Comfortable bed. Well situated and near the metro, grocery store and to most of the main attractions. We didn't need to use the A/C. Fair bit of street noise during the day, but quieted down at night time.

• Djordje from Germany (8/10)

  Peaceful,close to metro station
