The rooftop apartment it is just 600yd from the US Embassy in a safe, quite and charming street as well as its area.
The quarter is called Sallustiano for its Gardens of Sallust Roman gardens wanted by the Roman historian Sallust in the 1st century BC. The landscaped pleasure gardens occupied a large area in the northwestern sector of Rome. It is remarkable to visit its remains, the archeological site is just around the corner from you and includes the impressive Baths of Emperor Diocletian -I cent AD –too.

The location is perfect for serious art lovers who will be leaving the felling of the art and architecture of the old arstistocratic roman Palaces, right in the middle of what we call “the roman Baroque stage set”, (The Quirnal Palace, the Barberini Palace, The Trevi fountain, Santa Maria della Vittoria Church with the incredible Ectasy of St, Theresa statue by Gian Lorenzo Bernini) as well as for sports or leisure amateurs, in fact the apartment is 15 minutes walk away from Villa Borghese Park with it s bikes and rollerblades rentals.

Live like a Roman

Niccolo' was absolutely charming, the apartment is gigantic and has every thing you could need, and it is on a quiet street with minimal noise. The Ikea furnishings make for a sleek modern feel, but the apartment also has historic features that are beautiful and unique, like a porcelain fireplace. Even though it was January we enjoyed the terrace in the morning sun, and the apartment is full of light in the day. Be sure to visit the cheese shop and spice store around the corner in Via Collina.

My family of 5 (adults) stayed at this Rome apartment for 5 nights in August 2011 and we all agree that it was the perfect choice. Right from the start Niccolo was quick and responsive to all of our questions and requests. When we reached the apartment we were truly blown away by the size and location - we couldn't believe that we had scored such a lovely place at such a reasonable price. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Niccolo personally but he appointed Romeo to take care of our arrival and needs. Also, another big thankyou to Niccolo who recommended Simone as our tour guide at the Vatican - we all had a wonderful experience and felt truly blessed to have had such a nice, warm, knowledgeable guide for this memorable tour. 2 thumbs up for this place and Niccolo & friends - you're the greatest!! From the Bazerque Family.

We stayed 3 nights and were greeted by Niccola. The apartment was perfect within walking distance major attractions and termini. The apartment was large with 2 wings joined by a common area and outdoor terrace where morning coffee and afternoon wine could be enjoyed. An computer for ones use was convenient. The apartment could be reached by a lift. There were many great resturants across and down the street, as well as fesh market on the street. The was well appointed and gave a feeling of old world charm. It was a most delightful stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone.

This property was incredible, as was the owner, Niccolo. This spacious apartment was the perfect size for our family of 4 (3 bedrooms, 2 baths- one with a shower and the other a tub). The kitchen was well equipped. The dining area was large, easily seating 6 people. The AC worked perfectly during our stay, a welcome treat each day during a HOT August week in Rome. The property is conveniently located close to the Termini, the Coloseum and many other Rome attractions. Other features included a computer with WiFi service (great for our teenagers), a flat-screen TV with cable and elevator access. This property was very clean and modern, as shown in the pictures. We also quite enjoyed our morning coffee and our evening glass of wine on the outdoor terrace. Why would anyone stay in a cramped hotel room- for the same price (or less) you get a home! We would most definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend this apartment to family and friends. Niccolo was extremely helpful, friendly and a great communicator. He also arranged our transportation to and from the airport. Thanks Niccolo!

Easter 2011 - Loved our stay at Flavia Rooftop Apartment

Review Submitted: 08/19/11
My wife and I spent 6 weeks in Italy in April/May 2011.Our party consisted of us, our two teenage kids (18 and 17) as well as my wife's parents. Rome was our first stop in Italy and we stayed at Niccolo's apartment for 7 nights. We loved our stay at this apartment. It was a convenient walk to Termini and Piazza della Repubblica where there is another Metro station. We love walking, and from the apartment we walked to places such as the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Vittorio Emmanuele Monument. Although these walks might be 20 minutes or more, they are reasonably flat and the seniors in our group had no problem. There is also the #40 bus which will take you back to within a 5 or 10 minutes walk of the apartment from most of the major tourist attractions. Definitely get the Roma Pass which give you public transport as well as allowing you to bypass the long lines at places such as the Colisseum. In Via Flavia (the street the apartment is in) there are a couple of restaurants (we liked the 'Sorriso' just across the street-good value and nice people) and also a number of shops selling bread, fruit, meats etc. It is a fairly quiet neighborhood compared to some areas that have huge numbers of tourists, and these shops with their mainly local clientele gave us a nice introduction to the Italian lifestyle. Just walking around the streets you'd see locals walking their dogs, chatting with the shopkeepers etc. You will find a few tourists in this area but as I say it is mainly locals, which we thought was nice. Food and drink was also cheaper in this area than in the more touristy districts. There is a large supermarket (Conad) about a 10 minute walk due south in the direction of Termini. Would only be a 5 minute cab ride if you didn't want to walk with bags of groceries. As other reviews have said, the apartment was spacious and comfortable and we appreciated the WiFi network and the PC. Having the little terrace was great, and we were also able to use the clothes-lines on the rooftop of the building, one storey up. We took up Niccolo's suggestion for Carlo to pick us up from the airport. Carlo has a nice Mercedes van and at 90 Euro for 6 people and all our baggage we thought it was good value-door to door service. He is very knowledgeable about his city and can give good advice about things to see apart from the well-known highlights. We booked Carlo to pick us up a few weeks later after a side-trip to Egypt. We would highly recommend this apartment.

We stayed here 5 nights and were very pleased. The apartment is comfortable and nicely furnished...even a computer with wifi. Nicolo was quite helpful and it was a pleasure to do business with him. The location is terrific and we were able to easily get to all the places we wanted to visit. Restaurants are close as is public transportation. Everything was clean and well maintained. Thanks Nicolo!

My husband and I and our 3 adult children stayed a week in the Flavia Rooftop apartment. It was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The pictures do not do it justice. We were able to walk to most of the sights, the apartment was centrally located. Good restaurants and grocery stores were very close to the apartment. Close to Termini and the Republica Metro stops. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone interested. Do not hesitate to book this apartment!

The title is not an exaggeration at all, the space was great there was A/C the accessibility to all of the major sights was a huge plus. The kitchen and washing machine were great, I'm trying so hard to find a single thing that wasn't in order and I cannot, The balcony was stunning and the restaurant right across the street was very nice too. Oh and I can't forget how nice Niccolo was, he was awesome in answering all of our questions. I really cannot recommend this place more highly it was everything a person wanting to get a taste of rome could ask for.

We all loved this apartment! Rome was our final destination on a 6 week European tour and children voted this to be their favourite apartment of all. I had been nervous using a site such as VRBO for the first time.....sending money to someone I didn't know etc.... Well I can assure you that Niccolo was a perfect gentleman. His intructions to the apartment were clear. He met us at the appointed time, helped with our luggage and explained the apartment amenities clearly. We found it more spacious than expected. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 and our luggage. Our teenagers appreciated the effort Niccolo went to in making sure they each had their own bed to sleep in. Two teenagers had a queen sized bed each, with the third on a comfortable single bed. The free wi-fi was well-used by the tech savvy teenagers and there was also a computer for our use too. We appreciated the CNN news channel in English - while we were in Rome our home state experienced severe flooding so it was important for us to be able to keep abreast of the news. We loved the location. We only used the subway once - when going to Vatican City. otherwise everywhere was within walking distance. Trevi Fountain about 20 minutes away and 30 minutes to Palatine Hill. We really enjoyed the local eateries and shops. We definitely recommend La Lampada just around the corner from the Via Flavia (turning right when leaving the hotel) - great antipasto and delicious wines. The owner pulls out the fancy Reidel glasses when you order a nice bottle for 16-18 euros. The fruit man down the road to the right very friendly. And the deli with the meat section (to the right as you leave hotel) was fabulous. very friendly staff there and delicious takeaways to take home and heat up. Thank you, Niccolo, for keeping this spacious apartment so well priced. We will certainly recommend it to family or friends travelling to Rome.

We loved our stay in Rome.This is a great apartment very large ,comfortable and clean. It has very large bedrooms , and was very quiet.The photos on your website are very accurate ,although the spaciousness is more than expected. We would have loved to spend more time here and next time we will come in the warmer months to take better advantage of the private terrace. The heating was perfect for the colder weather. It was great having a computer to use , the kitchen worked well as did the laundry /washing machine .Probably only minor issue is there is no kettle . Very small problem though ,everything else for cooking was was provided .Having 2 bathrooms was fantastic too. I would not hestiate to recommend this lovely apartment to everyone.We enjoyed all the food shops in the street , fruit and vege, deli and restaurants,we would recommend eating at La Locanda Bacco (turn right when you leave the hotel entrance, just about 100 metres , it was cosy with good selection of food and wine and friendly staff.It was very easy to get around Rome and walking distance to most sights. ps, Niccolo, Thank you for letting us stay in your great Apartment Niccolo. I am sorry we didnt get to see you to say good bye, but it was a pleasure meeting you. Rome is a great place and your apartment just made it that much better.Oh and I couldn't find the guest book to write in .Regards Roberta Walker
