My brotherand I stayed in this lovely apartment for one week. It is clean and very well maintained, close to restaurants and grocery stores. It is also close to Termini station which is very convenient. We walked all over Rome and came back to a wonderful terrace where we often ate and relaxed. Niccolò is a very nice man, very helpfull and attentive. I had previously stayed in the same building, in Stefano's flat. It is also a great place. The building is very secure and quiet. If I return to Rome, it will always be in this place because I feel right at home here. I highly recommend this property. Un charmant appartement au centre de Rome, près de tout, tranquille, avec une superbe terrasse.

We'd highly recommend this apartment. Niccolo was great to deal with both before we arrived and while we were there and the place was spotless and very well set up for guests. It's nice that it's a bit out of the busier/more touristy areas and kind of quiet. There are also quite a few good nearby grocery shops for those who want to take advantage of the kitchen and have a bite on the apartment's spacious terrace. We wouldn't hesitate to book this again.

A Wonderful Home Away from Home

With the hustle, sights and people in Rome, staying at the apartment provided us with great relaxation and the comforts that we are so thankful for. The apartment is spacious, located on a very nice, quiet street, in a great location featuring amenities that made our stay fantastic. We grew quite accustomed to our surroundings, especially since we had many shops in such close proximity for our provisions. Everyone we encountered from the neighborhood are all such nice people and I believe that this makes any vacationers stay feel more a part of Italy and its rich culture. The apartment is in walking distance of many sights, so you can walk around the city and have your fill of the “must see” in Rome without feeling rushed or tired. Termini Station is also very close and walking to and from it with luggage is accomplished without much difficulty. Having a washing machine was a huge “plus” as we took advantage of it and I believe this truly helps vacationers, as you will be able to limit the amount of clothing you have to pack. The rooftop terrace was such a pleasure and perfect for enjoying our morning espressos and evening wine. I also want to mention that there is an ATM just across the apartment, so if you have a balance to pay, you will not have to worry about carrying much cash with you as you can easily withdraw what you need. Niccolo was always helpful and so was Romeo who was very kind. I don’t think our stay in Rome would have been as delightful if we stayed in any other place. It is truly a home away from home. -Korinna & Steve

We stayed in Flavia Rooftop apartment for 4 weeks (November/December) and it was a very pleasant experience. Even thought we couldn't take a full advantage of a magnificent rooftop terrace outside, it was roomy and comfortable. My son was happy to find a piano there. Niccolo was very nice, helpful and quick in accommodating our needs, and we have some with our family members arriving and going all of the time. The location was great too. Highly recommended.

Great Location, Roomy, Some Details Lacking

We enjoyed our stay in this great neighborhood, away from the most intensely touristy areas, but convenient to everything by walking and public transportation. We had good weather and used the outdoor patio every day. The computer and internet connection were a big plus, but there was no telephone (even though the listing says there is one). We were disappointed that we were given only one bath towel and one hand towel per person for a weeklong stay, and the bidet was unusable. Instructions in using the washing machine would have been helpful. The listing says there is a "dryer" but it is a drying rack. It just seems that with such a great place it would be worthwhile not to skimp on the details!

Our stay was outstanding. Anyone considering a trip to Rome should highly consider this as a place to stay. With our own kitchen, we were able to pick up groceries at the local markets and cook some meals at "home". The terrace was a lovely place to have morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Niccolo (the owner) was extremely helpful and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our stay was comfortable and our needs were met. The location was perfect - only a few blocks from the metro which gave us access to everything. There were so many wonderful restaurants near the area as well as sights to see. If you are considering Rome, you must consider this instead of a hotel - much more comfortable and private. There is no question we will be back, and when we come back, this is the place we will stay! Thank you Niccolo for an outstanding visit to Rome.

Terrific Rome Rental

We stayed here for three weeks in June, 2010 and it was great! Niccolo, a delightful young man, was very attentive to our needs and even stored one of our suitcases when we went away for a week. The neighborhood is delightful, we loved shopping at the produce store, the rosticceria, and especially, the gelateria. Our long stay permitted these two seniors to visit one or two sites a day without being rushed. We had bus passes for the month, a bargain at 30 Euro each. We cooked in a lot, but also enjoyed the numerous close by restaurants (yes to La Pentolaccia, skip Cantina Cantarini, unfriendly folks). Be sure and eat in tavola caldas too. The best features: the terrace, the washing machine, air conditioning, the complete kitchen and the internet connection. Thing we would have changed: the hard mattress. The high speed internet connection was most welcome, not only to stay in touch with friends and family and to answer all those questions that arise in the course of the day, but also to visit the ATAC web site for our bus routing for the day. We loved sitting on the terrace and watching the swifts flycatching over the city as dusk fell and the bats took over. A cat visited us often on the terrace and even came inside, good or bad depending on your POV on cats. Finally, being on the top floor of a hotel gave us a real sense of security. We highly recommend this flat!

This is a wonderful apartment in a great location: restaurants, food and wine shops, close to public transportation, and within walking distance of many Rome sites. The clean, quiet, and well-furnished apartment is so comfortable. The weather was too chilly in the morning and evening for us to enjoy the terrace but it was quite handy for drying laundry. It was also nice to have the security of the Medici Hotel downstairs. Niccolo was very responsive to any needs we had. (We didn't have many.) We hope to return here again and again.

My wife and I stayed in this lovely apartment for an entire month. During this time we toured all the sites of central Rome, all within walking distance. If our feet became too tired, we took bus, tram, or subway as well. It was always a pleasure to arrive back to a quiet rooftop apartment with a nice balcony and a comfortable bed (queen size) each evening. The kitchen is very complete and functional for large or small meals. There are many grocery stores and other food/wine/cheese shops nearby as well as excellent restaurants. Niccolo, the owner, is a conscientious, kind and helpful owner. We would highly recommend this apartment for any traveler who is looking for comfort, affordability, and location, whether you are staying for a night, a week or a month.

We stayed at the Flavia Rooftop Apartment over the Christmas and New Year Holiday and we found the apartment just fine for our needs it had evrything we needed and was quite comfortable and quiet and with the washer it allowed us to pack less which was big plus, the location was alos very good short walk to train station the only thing I found that surprised me was its advertised with a "dryer" I assumed electric clothes dryer but in fact it was a drying rack which turned out be fine and we managed great and its certainly not a deal breaker for us and would surley rent that apartment again.Niccolo's suggestion of the la Pentalaccia Restaurant was excellent we ate there twice and its only short walk down from the apartment.Been home 2 weeks and missing Rome already!!
