Our stay in the apartment was wonderful. The area was a little noisy at night, but we can't complain about anything else. The area has a good selection of wonderful restaurants and shops. The daily open-air market is just a short walk from the apartment. The hotel buffet breakfast and staff was a real treat. This was our third trip to Rome and this was by far our favorite accommodation and neighborhood.

Pasquino accommodation was great and location perfect. All the restaurants nearby were good and we will definitely recommend Italy Perfect to others. We also recommend you use a private tour for the Vatican. Well worth the extra money as they give a much better insight into what's there.

This was the end of a 3 week trip to Italy and our stay in Rome was the highlight of our trip. The weather in Rome was perfect, blue skies and about 17-19 degrees Celsius every day, and few crowds which made sightseeing a pleasure. We were very comfortable and happy in the apartment and it’s in such a great location. We actually only used the kitchen for breakfast and otherwise chose to enjoy the many wonderful restaurants in Rome. We loved it and our only wish now is a speedy return!

We enjoyed the accommodation and its location. The apartments [Florence Prisco #52284 and Rome Pasquino #135907 and] were well appointed and importantly for us the internet connection was consistently strong. The location was perfect. Well positioned walking distance to all the major attractions. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to a friend. The apartments are consistently excellent.

Our family spent the Christmas Holidays in Rome and stayed in the Pasquino Apartment. The accommodations were excellent and definitely made the trip. The apartment is large, good light, good beds, comfortable and had plenty of closet space. The apartment is centrally located and we could walk everywhere. We had a wonderful trip and staying at the Pasquino made the difference. My family definitely would recommend Italy Perfect.

1 block from Piazza Navona and short distance from many bus routes makes this a very convenient location. Includes free breakfast at nearby hotel. We especially enjoyed walking to Campo Di Fiore to see the local produce market and to buy many gifts.

This is the second time I have stayed in one of Italy Perfect's apartments, and it was wonderful. The apartment was close to everything, even excellent restaurants and gelateries. What more could you want accept for a great place to stay, and Pasquino was a great place to stay. Pasquino is a very nice and comfortable apartment with lots of room of room to relax. After staying in two of Italy Perfect's apartments, you really can't go wrong staying with them. One thing you might want to consider when planning your trip to Rome is traveling there in the fall. Rome is hot and busy in the summer. But, the weather in the fall is excellent and the crowds are smaller.

This apartment worked beautifully for our family of five. It was more spacious and comfortable then I expected and nicely furnished. We all appreciated the wi-fi. The 2 bathrooms worked well once we figured out to make sure the hot water heater was on. The kitchen was nicely stocked with basics (tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil...). The connection to the Hotel Tiziano was a definite plus. The staff was very helpful, meeting us at the apartment, showing us how everything worked, explaining where to catch various buses for sightseeing. They let me use their computer and printer to print out our boarding passes & arranged for a taxi to the airport. It was nice to have the option of having breakfast at the hotel, although we more often just made coffee and had a light breakfast at the apartment. The location could not be better! On a cute little square that has some nice restaurants (loved the salad place) and is quite lively most evenings, 2 blocks from Piazza Navona, a 5 minute walk to Campo di Fiori. We walked everywhere except to the Borghesi Museum. Vatican was a 20-min walk. Pantheon, Forum/Coliseum, Travestere - all very walkable. ALSO: Pat at Italy Perfect gave us great advice in general about trip planning and apart from the apartment, her most important contribution to our trip was the referral to our really wonderful Vatican private guide - Cristina Bonasera. She booked a reservation (well in advance), whisked us through the museum straight to the Sistine Chapel before it filled up. She gave us lots of great information while we were looking at the frescoes. She also made us reservations for the Borghesi Gallery. The only bit of difficulty I had was when I did some laundry in the apartment washer - it took a really, really long time to get through the cycle, I was worried that something was wrong with the machine or I had done something wrong. Only later did I read Pat's reassuring notes about appliances in Italy explaining that wash cycles can run up to 2 hours & that's normal! So read Pat's notes! Also be aware that there is no dryer - so don't wait till your last day to do a wash (I did figure that out on my own!) One other note - on a couple of nights there was a bit of noise from the lively crowd at the Piazza Pasquino - although for some odd reason the square was fairly quiet by midnight on the weekend evenings. It would be a good idea to have some earplugs if you are a light sleeper - just in case....

The Pasquino flat was ideal for our family of 4. It had the space we needed to be together or go our separate ways, a necessity with boys ages 18 and 20. The flat is wonderfully located with many must see sights, charming restaurants and lively bars within walking distance. Taxis and buses are nearby too as is the very helpful hotel staff. When we first opened the door, the boys said Pasquino was perfect because it made them feel like they lived in Rome.

The Pasquino apartment is spacious, comfortable, well equiped and ideally located. Italy Perfect did an outstanding job of preparing us for this adventure. They were very responsive and their written materials answered virtually every question. Renting is our new favorite way to travel, and we would certainly use and recommend Italy Perfect. We arrived with lists of restaurants but did just as well on our own. This is a wonderful neighborhood, full of interesting restaurants,shops and great walking streets. Only one suggestions - add grab bars for the showers! The master bathtub/shower is a big step up and over. As seniors, we would have felt more secure with something to hold on to.

This was our first trip to Rome and after seeing many parts of the city, we all agreed that our apartment was in the perfect location! The apartment overlooks the Piazza Pasquino, which is bustling and charming, and the impressive and beautiful Piazza Navona is one block away. We also loved being so close to the Campo di Fiori and the Pantheon. The apartment itself did not disappoint, either - it was spacious enough for seven of us, very well designed, and clean. Even the pullout couch was comfy! The breakfast each morning at the Hotel Tiziano was a great perk and the staff of the Hotel Tiziano was very helpful during our stay.

The trip was really wonderful (best we've had as a family) and the apartment was a big part of that. It was a great location and a great space for us (really more than we needed). The connection with the hotel was a big plus as we went there every morning for breakfast and the people there were very helpful and so nice! The apartment was comfortable, clean, well supplied, everything we needed (and more). All the arrangements were also right on target and extremely helpful. We used your recommended person to arrange to pick us up at the airport which was great. When we landed after the long flight I started worrying that I really didn't know what I was supposed to do or what we were getting ourselves into but then we found the driver you had suggested, and I pulled out all the materials you had sent, called the number, they immediately knew who we were, they were at the apartment within a few minutes of our arrival and the place was all ready for us (at 8am!). We immediately went to the hotel for breakfast and they greeted us so warmly and kindly we felt comfortable right away that our living situation for the next week was going to be great. The neighborhood was just PERFECT for us -- we ate in the neighborhood a couple of times (first night and last night, I think) and Larry and I found a great wine bar that we could go to right in the neighborhood so the kids could just go home. We all started thinking of it as our home very quickly! We used your list of restaurants a lot -- it was so nice to have so many choices and so much information about each place. Finally -- when we left we had the person you recommended pick us up to take us to the airport and he was very reliable and there exactly when we asked him to be (even though it was 6:30 am on Easter Sunday).

We spent a wonderful week in this lovely apartment. Comfortable, cool, spacious and quiet, it was the perfect place to return to after the busy days exploring this lovely city. Everything we needed was there and it was perfectly clean on our arrival. We even used the Hotel Tiziano for breakfast and the staff (who manage the apartment) were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Pasquino is perfectly located, just one street away from the beautiful Piazza Navona, with a multitude amazing restaurants within a few minutes walk. We walked from the apartment to every major landmark in the old city of Rome Pat and the team at Italy Perfect made everything so easy, even to the point of organising the wonderful Stefano to collect us from the airport. What an amazing introduction to Rome - four coins went into the Trevi Fountain, so we will all return again I'm sure! Thank you to all at Italy Perfect - you will definitely be hearing from us again...

Just returned from a wonderful Roman Holiday staying at the Pasquino apartment. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed and, after reading some of the reviews, was more than expected. With a well equipped kitchen, plenty of linen, central heating (it was winter), comfortable bed and sofas plus cable TV, it was perfect for our stay. The cable has plenty of channels to choose from with many movie channels available in English (with a little work on the remote). Being approx ten to fifteen minutes walk to most attractions and with many restaurants to choose from the location could not be better. If you want to eat with the locals try “La Montecarlo” only a minute’s walk along Corso Vittorio Emanuele towards the Vatican. We found it to be an inexpensive local with great food and friendly staff. Thanks for all the info and help with everything Lisa, I will be using your services again and telling my friends also.

We found Pasquino to be very nice, but most importantly, incredibly well located for our first visit to Rome. The apartment overlooked a lively piazza with great restaurants and nightlife all within a few blocks. You could eat out every night for days and not leave the block. The apartment could use some work; their was a leak in the kitchen that would not stop, and we often ran out of hot water when taking a shower - the other show we gave up on. We spent the weekend in Florence and just got back. On the train ride up there to stay at a great hotel my wife and I both commented that the one thing we were looking forward to most was a great shower! One other note, while the people at the Tiziano hotel were quite helpful, we wouldn't want to stay there. We stopped in one morning for breakfast and found it depressing, the food non descript and the dining room bleak. All in all, a nice stay, Pat was pleasant to work with and we had a very memorable visit to Rome!

We were quite pleased with the Pasquino apartment. The location was outstanding - very close to Piazza Navona, one of our favorite Rome neighborhoods and Campo Fiori is only two blocks away. The little piazza outside our window was alive with activity - cafe's, shops, people - but it was quiet inside the apartment. The breakfast arrangement with Hotel Tiziano was very nice - only a 5 minute walk and the Tiziano staff was very helpful. The WiFi internet worked well. We give high marks to Italy Perfect for your rental process. All in all it met our needs very nicely.

The location of the Pasquino is absolutely great. Only three to five minutes from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon and also located near one of the stops for the "open air" buses. The association with the Tiziano Hotel was a big plus. The breakfast served at the hotel was very good and the staff at the hotel was professional, helpful and courteous. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished.

After spending many hours searching for the perfect location for our 5 night stay in Rome, I came across the Italy Perfect website. What a great find!! We decided to end our 3 week Italy vacation by staying in the Pasquino apartment near the famous Piazza Navona. Our children, 7 and 11 years old, loved the "library style" bedroom. My wife appreciated the large kitchen, washing machine and especially the air conditioning. We all appreciated the location, and having access to sky TV which broadcast several channels in English. The hotel with free breakfast and concierge services was less than a 5 minute walk away from the apt. The Vatican is a 20 minute walk, and the Trevi Fountain is a 15 minute walk in a different direction. The location cannot be beat for experiencing what Roman evenings are like. The Piazza Navona is the largest piazza in Rome, and in the evenings it is filled with music, laughter and food. I will definitely use Italy Perfect again next time we go to Italy. Having access to Pat Byrne's vast knowledge of Italy is a valuable resource. Grazie, Mike

Our family of 6 loved Pasquino. The apartment was very comfortable and very convenient to just about everything. The neighborhood had a lot of character. It reminded me of Greenwich Village in the summertime. There was alot going on ,alot to see. The streets did not go to sleep until late at night. My older children found it very exciting. The hotel Tiziano was a great plus. The staff were very kind and very helpful. Their american coffee at breakfast was better than any american coffee I ever tasted in NY. We had a wonderful experience and would love to stay there again when we return to Rome. It was the perfect choice for us. There were many wonderful restaurants in the area. We tried something different every night. We used your list but even tried wome off the list. We were never disappointed and we are Italian and cook all the time.Every little street and alley had something interesting to see. Nearby, Piazza Navona was also a very interesting place. Something always going on there. I would not recommend this area to someone who prefers a quiet atmosphere. This was a lively place. I can't wait to return. Your service was excellent from beginning to end. The websites were very helpful and very informative. It was very easy to use your services.

We just returned from four days (June 2 thru June 7) in Rome where we stayed in the Pasquino apartment. I can't begin to describe what a perfect place this is to stay. First, the accomodations were large, especially the living area. The windows opened onto the Piazza Pasquino which was wonderful. The Piazza is lively and an terrific place to be. Also, and even better, the apartment is only 1/2 block from the Piazza Navona. Piazza Navona is always a happening place. Before arriving we were concerned about how well stocked the apartment would be. Trust me, it has everything you could need, including good A/C. A great benefit as well is the fact that there is a nice grocery about a block or two toward the river. Just down the street is the Baffetto, which is the best pizza in Rome. The restaurant just across the street from the Pasquino was also very good and the people were friendly. There is a cab stand close by and plenty of ATM's, though you may have try several until you find one that works with your card. In closing, the Pasquino is wonderful and we would never imagine staying any where else in Rome. It just feels like home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pasquino apartment. The apartment is spacious and clean, with comfy beds and sofas, plentiful linen, and a fast and reliable internet connection. The apartment is perfectly located and we walked almost everywhere, even with two little ones. And when we got tired, the buses on the Corsa Vittorio Emanuele II were nearby and frequent. We dined locally in the evenings and the kids loved playing on the Piazza Navona and gorging on ice-cream afterwards. We also found the links with the hotel very beneficial – it was great to have breakfast every morning to get us up and on our way, and somewhere to leave our bags on the day of departure. The staff were always polite and helpful and we were grateful for the welcoming touches of bottled water in the fridge and milk. We would love to return some day. Angie Bone, France.

We were delighted with the Pasquino apartment. What a terrific location! It was roomy and comfortable for our part of four. Can't wait to return. Living room was particularly comfortable, nice high quality sofas where we congregated each evening to relax and enjoy cocktails before heading to one of the many neighborhood restaurants for dinner. Greeter was cordial and helpful. Favorite restaurant was the Insalata Ricca just down below in the little piazza. We had an excellent lunch one day and it was so good we went back the next day and order the exact same meal again! Also great pick was the wine bar type restaurant also in the piazza which had an amazing wine list. Handy tiny supermarket just two blocks away too which was perfect for picking up groceries. We were delighted to stay in this apartment, service from Italy Perfect was smooth from start to finish. S. Cohen Palm Beach, FL
