    • We stayed here for a week in mid-September. The apartment is lovely, a perfect size for my husband and me, and has all you need for your stay. The bathroom and kitchen are almost new, and everything works perfectly. The weather was very warm and humid, so the AC was a critical part of our comfort. Carmen was a gracious hostess who provided us with some much-needed help with shopping. The little restaurant next door was the best - great food and great service! Let Carmen and Mirella help you with arrival transportation; after a long flight it is nice to have someone waiting. I would never stay anywhere else in Rome.

    • We have just returned from Rome, where we stayed at Carmen's apartment. It was everything we had hoped for. The location is fabulous, as everyone said. I love to stay in pretty places - it just adds to my enjoyment of the vaction. It's just lovely with air conditioning and plenty of closet space, so your suitcases are out of sight. I loved living in a neighborhood and made use of the local pharmacy, grocery store and gourmet store. There is also a post office nearby, and just a short walk down in front of the church taxis await. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. Carmen and Mirella both do everything they can to make sure you have everything you need. I'd stay there again without a moment of hesitation. The apartment was part of what made our stay so wonderful. Thanks Carmen, and Mirella thanks for stopping by. It was lovely to meet you both!

    • Amazing! From the time we arrived with the prearranged cab service until the time we left with the arranged cab service, this flat was amazing. We stayed from July 4th-July 13 with our 19 year old son, who slept on the pull out chair. Carmen and Mirella were fabulous in making us a map for everything we needed and greeted us with chocolates and a warm welcome. We walked everywhere, the Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Vatican, the downtown area, to great supermarkets and fabulous little bakeries. The sidewalk cafes were great and we even took a train to Florence for the day. Without reservation, we would stay here again and enjoy each day. And the visit with Carmen in her shop was amazing. We exchanged gifts and stories. This was a trip of a lifetime in a "home away from home". Thanks to Carmen and Mirella!

    • Last Fall my husband and I were lucky enough to spend a month in Carmen's lovely apartment. Our idea was to find a central neighborhood in the old part of Rome, settle in and explore all of Rome. Our choice could not have been better. Carmen was very welcoming. We met Mirella the first day when we locked ourselves out of our apartment and she came to let us in. (We met the neighbors too). The apartment was wonderful: everything fresh and clean with weekly maid service. Bed was comfortable and TV better than at home. What I liked best was the location: right in the middle of old Rome, near Piazza Navonna, yet definitely in a less traveled area - mostly residential and local business. I would jump at the chance to visit Carmen and Mirella again!

    • My husband and I spent 3 nights in Carmen's apartment in mid-June, and it was just lovely. The apartment is just as described. It was comfortable, had everything we needed, and is in a wonderfullocation. We've spent a fair amount of time in Rome before, but, thanks to the apartment location and very helpful information provided by Carmen and Mirella, we used the Metro and bus system for the first time. The detailed information for the neighborhood, including restaurant recommendations, was wonderful. Carmen was away when we were there, but Mirella was there at our arrival, and made everything so easy, including arranging for our airport transfers. We will be back!

    • My wife and I just got home from spending three days in Rome following a cruise. I found Carmen's apartment on VRBO and was certainly mot disappointed. It has everything you would need. The location is perfect and well within walking distance to most tourist spots. It is also located 1 1/2 blocks from a major bus route. Rome is amazing and Carmen made our visit all the more special. She was warm, inviting and responsive to all of our needs. For example their was a problem with the hot wwater and she had it fixed within 2 hours. Excellent customer service. Also we had a very early morning flight and Carmen arranged for a car service to pick us up at 4AM and drive us to the airport. She did not overlook the small things either. On arrival she was there to greet us and had a samll bottle of wine in the fridge and some small snacks as well. However the bets part was that this was our 25th anniversarry and she presented us with a hand painted porcelan dish. It was very thoughtful and certainly unexpected. We both hope to return to Rome and would most definately stay in this apartment again. We can't say enough about the apartment or the gracious hospitality we enjoyed. Thank you again for making this a memorable trip Dave and Bobbie Munden

    • Carmen's apartment is perfect for a couple. It is clean, well designed with modern kitchen and bathroom appointments, nicely decorated, and beautifully positioned to enjoy the Centro Storico area of Rome. Carmen's shop (well worth visiting) is just across the street and she is available and very helpful. My wife and I would give it a very strong recommendation

    • My husband and I stayed here for five nights in April. After viewing several properties in Rome, we chose this one mainly for it's location, size, style and positive comments. All factors turned out to be exactly as presented and pictured. The apartment was located in an area close to transportation connections but also in an area with numerous shops and restaurants - all frequented by locals. In the five days there, we walked to all the major sites, including the Vatican, Borghese Gallery and the Coliseum. The apartment was perfect for two persons - from the decorations to the thoughtful touches throughout, we felt as though we were staying at the home of friends. From the first e-mail inquiry to the date of our departure, we found Carmen and Mirella to be responsive, helpful and proactive in sensing the needs of Rome travelers. For example, local maps, guidebooks, umbrellas, etc., were available for use and advice. Carmen and Mirella remained available as needed but not intrusive during our stay. I highly recommend this property.
