Why the Owner Chose Via Veneto
Besides wanting to find an apartment in the same neighborhood as my daughter's area of Rome, we wanted a place that was residential in nature, quiet, safe and if possible, family oriented. At the same time, we wanted it to be accessible to the center of Rome where one could easily explore the many wonders of the eternal city yet experience, first-hand, the Roman way of life. The apartment is a mere 20 minutes by public transportation from the very center of Rome. This transportation is very reliable, convenient and accessible. There are many amenities in close proximity to the apartment. Restaurants, Trattorias, bars, shops,street markets, supermarkets, banks, post office, department stores, pharmacies, etc, etc. that help one to enjoy Roman life to the fullest. Also, the apartment is located just one block from the new terminal servicing the city's direct rail line to and from Rome's International airport. This is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Rome and the residents are mainly upper middle-class in stature.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
The apartment is on a street that borders the river so that from the apartment balconies and windows one looks out over the park -like area that surrounds both sides of the river rather than into someone else's apartment across the street. The city has made a pedestrian-cycling path along the river that extends a couple of miles. At various intervals, this path has benches for pedestrians and playgrounds for children. Since the neighboring residents all live in apartment buildings, these areas are their backyard when the weather permits. Day and evening this path and these areas are used by the community for their leisure and socializing. It is a great opportunity for renters to experience the daily life of resident Romans and to participate in the life and sights of the city in comfortable, affordable surroundings. One can enjoy more privacy, space and freedom and save on hotel bills while savoring the local culture.
Owner's Map of Via Veneto
Many years ago my oldest daughter married an Italian living in Rome. Since that time, my wife, Jean, and I have made an annual trip to Rome and Italy to visit her and her growing family. After some years and two growing grandchildren, it became obvious that we needed to have our own place when we came to visit. Hence, a search for a convenient and comfortable apartment for use during our visits. Luckily we found such a place in the same neighborhood where my daughter and family resided. Since that time, we have rented this apartment to tourists during the time that we are not occupying the premises. My daughter acts as our agent in Rome and is prepared to offer her services and knowledge of the city to renter if needed. We have traveled extensively throughout Italy and Europe and consider Rome to be our second home. We try to express our enthusiasm for the city and the country to our prospective renters in hopes that they too will we able to experience the incredible wealth of art, history and culture that the city offers.

Our stay was fantastic in your Rome apartment! Your daughter is a delight and was so very helpful in getting us a hotel reservation as we arrived one day early. How fortunate you are to have her be your manager...she is just perfect. The apartment was everything you advertised...and much more. It was a perfect spot to return to each afternoon after a busy day of sightseeing. We visited the local groceries and outdoor markets and the people were kind and friendly...even though our Italian consisted of about 15 words! Thanks again for letting us rent your apartment. Hopefully we'll make it back to Rome another time and see more of the beautiful and interesting city.

Hello John: Sorry for the delay in sending this appreciation letter, and thank you very much for the check refund. We really enjoyed our stay at your apartment...The place is really splendid and well-appointed. I hope we left the apartment as clean and neat, the way it was opened to us by Marilee. She's a very gracious host. We also love the neighborhood...It's very peaceful and quiet especially late at night, and the locals are very friendly. Overall, our Italian vacation was very memorable and we already long to go back. I will definitely call you again next year. Of course, our friends will find out about your apartment-we'll make sure of that.

We enjoyed our stay in your apartment in Monte Sacro very much. I loved the quiet at night, the view over the trees, the very pleasant neighborhood and the convenience of both the street market and the supermarket. Thanks also for the prompt return of our security deposit. The phone use system works well-just being able to dial our daughter in Mt. View was very convenient.

This was our second visit. It was still very helpful to have the phone card, which made it easy to call Marilee before leaving the airport. It was so delightful to find that Marilee had decorated the apartment for Christmas- really enhanced our stay. We also made use of the novels and videos-a real plus. We hope to return and will recommend your apartment to anyone wanting an authentic Roman experience. We really appreciated finding cleaning and basic kitchen supplies and the drying racks. If you have potential renters who want a local reference-we'd be delighted to provide a testimonial. We wish we could afford to be your neighbors in Monte Sacro!

Dear John: I intended to call you upon our return, given the confusion over our arrival and departure dates, just to make sure that we did pay you the rent we owed. At first blush, we thought the apartment might be too far from the center of Rome-not so!! We were amazed and totally pleased with the bus transportation's efficiency-We used it to get all around the city. We can only say very positive things about our stay at your place and your generosity in writing us to use the staples provided in your cupboard. The only thing we never "got" was how to use ;the VCR, no doubt due to our own ineptness. It was also especially helpful and fun to have travel books of all sorts at our fingertips. Thanks again!

The apartment was great and it was really nice of Marilee to meet us at the train station and provide us with all the helpful info on the apartment, travel, etc. It was also great to be in a real neighborhood rather than downtown with the hordes of other tourists.

The apartment took our breath away when we first entered! It was more than we'd hoped. We didn't do any cooking there, only because we spent so many hours exploring the city. However, we noticed the potential conveniences of the kitchen. Another week, and we definitely would have taken advantage! I can't think of enough good things to say about the apartment and our stay there. The floors(!), the balconies, the nighborhood, the river!...We've traveled a lot, but this was the most incredible experience! Thank yu so much!!

Dear Mr. Mortarotti: Ciao! We had a wonderful week in Rome/Pompeii, made all the easier/nicer by having your lovely apartment to call "home". Looking out over the trees was so peaceful. Saw a beautiful, colorful sunrise one A.M. It was perfect! Marilee, your daughter, was so patient and helpful. If we ever return to Rome we definitely would consider booking the apartment again. Thank you so much. Grazie!
