It was amazing to stay so close to all attactions, while the 70 steps to the top floor were great for fitness, & sometimes challenging after a big day out, to have the rooftop for wines and see clear across the locale was really special.Comfortable beds, while everything was old (to be expected) it was super clean & comfortable with aircon.Clorinda saw to our every query with grace and friendline. Overall, it was an 11 out of 10Gracias

The bathroom was quite small, and the door was difficult to open and close. Several of the small wood floor tiles were loose and frequently came up. The upstairs air conditioning unit was dripping water, and the main entrance door was very hard to shut properly. On a positive note, the property is in a convenient and well-located

Perfect stay in Rome

5-Star ReviewI had a wonderful stay at this apartment in the heart of Rome! The location is unbeatable, with everything you could want to see or do just steps away. It made exploring the city so convenient and enjoyable. The host was incredibly attentive during check-in, ensuring a smooth process, and communication throughout my stay was excellent.The only thing to note is that the stairs leading to the apartment might be challenging for older guests or anyone with mobility issues. However, if that’s not a concern, this place is perfect for a Roman getaway. Highly recommend it for its charm, convenience, and top-notch hospitality!

Amazing location

The location of this property is second to none, if you want to live like a local this is the place to stay. They warn you that there are a lot of steps to get to the property (roughly 72) but it is worth it for the location. The place was very clean and was great for us as a family of 4! We would love to stay here again if we ever get back to Rome!

Great location but not the best place to stay

We booked this rental 9 months in advance because of the location and that it was, a great location right amongst lots of restaurants and shops, and within walking distance to many wonderful touring locations. However this was not the best place to stay. We had many issues that were really hazards: 5 flights of very old stairs in a dark hallway. A low 5'10" walkway, not just an arch, to get to the toilet; a hazard for banging your head on the ceiling. Loose floor tiles that pop out when walking across them and sharp edged, creating a hazard for toe cutting and stubbing in the resulting floor holes. The air conditioner drains right across the rooftop patio and causes a slippery surface. Other issues we encountered: It felt like we were a bother to the property manager who checked us in. He was in a rush and only spent a few minutes with us. We received very little instructions for the place. No welcome book with helpful instructions, like for oven, washing machine, garbage, and stairway lights, which were definitely needed. The bed is very firm. Low water pressure in bathroom. Several minutes for hot water in shower. There is no garbage on the property and you are required to walk it to a station 5 minutes away. Difficult to find what we needed on our own. The good news is that the owner, Monica, was very responsive via texting. I did messenger a number of suggestions so hopefully they get implemented.

Great Location and Roof Top Terrace

Had just enough of everything for our family of 5. Really appreciated the two AC units when it was 40C out. Fantastic location but on a quiet side street so you could sleep well but also be around all the action. There are a lot of stairs, but if you are able, the stairs are worth it especially for the roof top terrace in the unit.

Wonderful Location!

We had a wonderful stay in Roma. A spacious apartment with great roof top views for your morning espresso. We were able to walk to most tourist spots, and it is very close to taxi for longer journeys. We loved the neighborhood too. After a busy day in Rome, the neighborhood cafe's feel so cozy. Close to a market too.

Great place in superb location!

My family (me + wife and two teenagers) stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. Good: -GREAT location-tons if restaurants, bars and Rome attractions. You’re in the heart of Rome! -We each had basically our own private rooms to sleep -the rooftop terrace is nice Bad: -If you are a light sleeper I would not stay here. Being in such a great location means you have noise to deal with in the late hours. Didn’t bother my family or I but wanted to let you know. -There are a lot of stairs to get to the place. Again, not a big deal for us but you should know it before booking. Monica is a great host who really cares for her guests and she was flexible on check-in time allowing us to drop our bags off early. I would definitely stay here again!

Definitely worth a look!

The property is as advertised - great pictures & description! The location is even better...in the heart of Rome, short walks to so much (markets, prime independent shopping street, so many historical sites) -- 15min walk to just about everything (a little longer to the Colosseum, but there are busses/taxi stand/ride share pickup within a block or 2 if walking isn't your thing. There was good internet service for planning your next day(s) or posting all the pics from a full day of adventure -- definitely wouldn't hesitate staying here again!!

Everything was wonderful. Only complaint was the 3rd bed in the living space. We played rock/paper/scissors to see who had to sleep on it as it felt like you were sleeping on rocks . Stairs were a workout but we enjoyed the exercise. Great way to work off the excessive food & booze throughout the day!! All and all, loved our stay

Great location!

This property met our expectations for a small apartment in the heart of Rome at a fair price. There are always improvements we could focus on but the positives far outweigh the negatives. The location...literally 3 min walk to Piazza Navona. This location is so great for all the big sites in Rome. The farthest we walked was the Colosseum which was about 30 minutes (with a 4 year old even!). There are an abundance of restaurants, shops, and one of the best gelato places we found in Rome (and we tried a few), just steps away. It took about an hour to get from the airport to the place, but there is a bus from Termini that is very close by, and we even found a different bus/train combo to go back to the airport that avoided Termini. The 4 flights of stairs were not a problem for us, even after a full day of walking, but we're all in good shape, including our 4-year old. Monica was very good at communicating in advance of the trip and her sister (Ambra) was lovely to meet upon our arrival. I have very few complaints and none that are probably new to the owner...the bidet's out-gas smell is awful. We have this at our place in The Netherlands as well but we're able to tame it with running soapy water down the drain every 2 weeks; this didn't seem to really help here, but we did run water every day and it made a small dent in the smell. Frankly, the bidet is just in the way. The furniture is a little uncomfortable. My husband is tall and struggled with the bed. The futon couch in the living room is a bit uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time, and all of the chairs feel rickety. We found one chair was a bit broken upon arrival so we moved it out of the way and were careful with the others the rest of the time. We didn't use the terrace as much as we wanted but we did use it a couple of times and it was nice. The secret washing machine was funny to us, but we didn't end up using it. The kitchen could use just a few more cooking utensils (spatula!) and maybe just one sharp knife that isn't a foot long! All in all, as I said at the start, the place was exactly as we expected which made our trip to Rome just perfect!

Central location is the best thing about this apartment.

If you are looking for a very quirky, authentic little Roman apartment, this is your place. The positives: 1) you can’t beat the central location of this apartment with GREAT restaurants and shopping nearby, not far from Piazza Navona, Vatican and within a 30 minute walk to other sites like Pantheon, Trevi, Spanish Steps and Coliseum. 2) There is a little terrace which is nice for enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee, the view is mainly of other terraces/buildings. The negatives: 1) One out of the two A/C’s was not working because it was leaking, not disclosed until check in, and the one that was working did not blow very well. 2) There was a sewage smell that intermittently came from the bidet unless my husband flushed a bunch of water down it. 3) There is some mold on the shower walls. 4) The beds and pillows were hard and uncomfortable (but if you sightsee as we did, you are so exhausted by the end of the day you really don’t care). 5) The lighting is not very good at night when it’s dark outside as several lights didn’t work. 6) The windows do not keep out much sound, you can hear everything going on down in the alleys below, earplugs are necessary to sleep. 7) If you don’t like stairs, this is NOT the place for you, it is a 4 floor walk up (something that didn’t bother us). 8) The washing machine is outside in a little cubby on the terrace. Again, I think the area is great but we would not stay here again without several improvements.

Excellent location and lovely, authentic apartment

We loved our 5 days in Rome! This apartment helped to make our first visit to Rome perfect. The location is superb! You can walk to everything. We only took a taxi twice (one on arrival from the airport and one to get to the train station when we were leaving Rome). Rome is such a walkable city and this great, little apartment puts you right in the center of all the must-see’s of Rome. There are a lot of steps to get to this 4th story apartment, but they are totally worth it because we had our own private, roof-top balcony that we loved. We also felt that the steps were helping us work off all the delicious gelato we were enjoying in Rome. The landlady and her sister are wonderful and very quick to respond to any needs or questions we had. I am especially grateful to them for arranging our taxi to and from the apartment on our arrival and departure. That made it so easy! The apartment had the feeling that you were borrowing a friends house and had many small touches of a “home”. I would highly recommend this apartment and would look into booking it again if we are ever in Rome.
