  This was not only as described in the listing, it was also well maintained. The location was ideal because of walking proximity to mass transportation and touristic sites. We never needed a car to go anywhere in Rome - we were able to walk everywhere for food and take buses to any sites we wanted to see. This place is about 15 minute walk from Rome train station, which was ideal for traveling to other cities for day trips. This place is situated high enough above the streets, so it is very quiet. Plus the sunlight was very pleasant while sitting outside. We brought our 4 month old child with us. The owner brought out a portable pack-n-play type crib and helped us set it up. The place was quite ideal for having a baby. The owner was very accommodating, and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. I would recommend this place without reservation. And if I can, I intend to return to this place next time I come to Rome.

  This apartment, we found, was in a truly ideal location. It is accurately depicted in the pictures. When you walk in the front door, you have a hallway which leads to the computer, to your left is the master suite and bathroom which has access to the long skinny patio pictured. To your right is the fireplace shown with dining room and living room - also access to the patio. Then, through the dining/living area is the small kitchen to the right and second bath to the left and just past is the second bedroom with another living area with futon with windows to the interior courtyard (this second has a door which can be shut off from the rest allowing additional privacy. Very basic - no frills - could use a woman's touch with adding some extra towels, wash cloths, napkins/paper towels, foil or plastic wrap for food, a little table and chairs on the patio, but still a good choice. Beds are very comfortable, lots of closet space, the computer was great having around, satellite t.v. a delight in getting American t.v., and apartment was very spacious and bright. As noted in other reviews, very close to wonderful restaurants, gelato, grocery stores, cafes, etc. all in a safe, away from the crowded areas of Rome. A 10 min. walk to Borghese Gardens, Republica Metro/Nazionale Street, 20 mins. to Spanish Steps/Trevi Fountain, short subway ride to Vatican, Coliseum. Got so tired of the tourist crowds in all these places that coming home to this apartment and neighborhood to relax and unwind was a highlight. A good neighborhood restaurant we found was La Lampada (as you exit hotel, go right, take second right and mid-way up block). And, a little further away is Girarrosto Fiorentino which is outstanding but you need reservations - look them up online. We ate at both of these twice we loved them so much. Niccolo was very attentive to any needs we had and always available by cell. We did get ripped off by taxi driver first day so beware of these, don't let them pull you out of a taxi line and note that if you are coming from Termini Station a taxi should only be around 10 Euro to the apartment NOT 37 like we paid. They are very smooth and fast in picking out tourists so you don't even realize what's happening until its too late. If you are unsure take their license # and tell Niccolo. Also, be aware of your belongings at all times on the subway - they are full of pickpockets - actually witnessed them in action. They are very brazen and quick. Live and Learn!

  Reviews are great for the accurate information they provide. The property is all that has been said before and more. For the 5 of us it was perfect. The property is on the 4th floor and very secure with the Hotel Medici operating the first 3 floors. We were able to catch up with the available internet and walk to all the sites Rome has to offer. The restaurant across the street called Henry Cow was convenient and had good food and service. Via Flavia has many restaurants, grocery stores and fruit markets. If you have a car rental you will have to find parking on the street and pay for a time ticket. Also keep in mind that Sundays only some bars are openend and most gas stations are closed. If we return to Rome we will book this beautiful property again.

  My wife and I took our two grown boys in July 2012 and stayed for four nights initially, and then one more night after we returned from Florence. We sought out this apartment because we had the good fortune of staying there with another couple three years earlier. The location is perfect, the acommodations just right, and the owner (Niccolo' Arnaldi) very gratious and available on site. As with the first stay, this served as a very comfortable hub. There were several restaurants across the street when we just wanted to chill, and several stores nearby for groceries and snacks. There is a small working kitchen and a much-appreciated washing machine. Lastly, there is access to a rooftop with a view of the city and nice place to enjoy a glass of wine. We will stay there again on our next trip.

  This apartment is truly a wonderful find in Rome, so much nicer than staying in a hotel (even though it is situated above the Hotel Medici). Ideal for families with its L-shape setup. On one end, there are two adjoining nicely lit rooms perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids with a dedicated bathroom. The closet space was great, you never felt like you were tripping over your suitcases. On the opposite end, there is also a 2nd bathroom and huge bedroom with ample closet space which leads out onto the spacious terrace. Amidst the flowers and plants, there is a nice stone bench where on many nights we sat eating gelato and snacks with the kids under the starry Roman sky. So nice to leave the door open between the terrace and the living room and feel the breeze ventilate the entire apartment without hearing all the traffic noise below. The furnishings are up to date, comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is well-stocked. We enjoyed the wonderful WIFI. For our 1-week stay, it was such a convenience to have a washing machine and a terrace to dry clothes. We really liked the Via Flavia location, a 5-minute walk from Repubblica Metro on the main subway line and 10-min walk to Termini train station. We also walked from Piazza Navonna / Pantheon to the apartment in 30-40 mins. There are so many restaurants (highly recommend Ristorante Da Giovanni for down-to-earth cooking and the more upscale La Pentolaccia) and little shops nearby, and most importantly a wonderful gelato shop called Gelataria I Caruso right around the corner (turn left out of the hotel, and immediate left on Via Collina). Do check out the memorable Santa Maria degli Angeli designed by Michaelangelo, within 5 mins walk. After a full day of sightseeing, it was such a luxury to take the elevator up to the apartment. I have to say that our experience was made all the better by Niccolo’s attentiveness. Even before our trip, Niccola was so responsive to our many emails and provided helpful advice about getting from the airport to the apartment. On the first day he met us promptly outside the apartment and was patient in showing where everything was and offered good recommendations about the nearby restaurants. He even came by 2 days later to check on whether we found everything ok. All in all, we would gladly stay here again on a repeat visit to Rome!

  A wonderful experience, being in Rome for Easter. We arrived on Saturday and Niccolo met us, helped us park the car and bring our luggage up to the apartment. He made certain we had everything we needed before turning over the keys to us. Our family consisted of 4 adults and a 6 year old boy. There was more than enough room in the apartment and it was extremely comfortable. Large TV screen with many channels and shows in English and Italian. A washing machine and even a computer were available to us. In addition to getting us settled, Niccolo put us in touch with his good friend Simone and we scheduled several tours. Simone is a wonderful and extremely knowledgable guide and so personable that he helped make our stay even more memorable. There are restaurants, markets and bakeries all within a couple of blocks of the apartment and also the ability to stay in and cook meals in the full kitchen. We brought some canned goods with us but discovered no can opener and did not know where to purchase one. No problem, Niccolo brought us one. I believe that is far and above his duty as a landlord. We would highly recommend Niccolo and this apartment (he has other apartments as well) as a great place to stay while visiting Rome.

  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!
