Wonderful Apartment

I cannot believe I never submitted a review. We stayed at this apartment in June, 2010 as part of our honeymoon trip to France and Rome. The accommodations were wonderful. We were basically close to everything. The metro was very close to the apartment, as well as drug store (as my husband had fallen and needed some ibuprofen), restaurants, the sights, and was easy to get around. The apartment was very clean and Nicola was wonderful. It was fabulous and I have recommended this flat to friends that are traveling to Rome in the very near future

We just returned from a week in this flat and all was found as advertised in the ad. Nicola met us on time and was a delight, directing us to the nearest market and filling us in on all the workings of the apartment etc. Other posters are correct that there is some road noise and the overall cleanliness was only a 7 or 8 out of 10. Our stay was a re-booking as we had to cancel our trip last April. At that time the owner refunded all money without penalty so we were very confident dealing with him again.

Owner response:Thanks a lot for your comment, Nazionale Flat has a major refurbishment already scheduled in the next months to offer even more services.

We rented a flat from this owner from Sep 9 - 13 of 2011. We primarily wanted this exact flat, the Trevi, as we knew it was as centre as it gets. The flat was unavailable so we ended up taking the  campo di fiori flat. We were a bit unsure at first about how far it was from everything. But WOW! We are so glad we made the decision we did. Not only did we walk to Trevi, Vatican, Piazza Di Spagna and all the other attractions (and it was less than 15 minute walk to all these places) but the neighbouthood was supreme. Campo has a lot of boutiques near by so you can shop till' you drop but also a lot of restaurants, nightlife and other great things. The best part is that if you wish to be in a more quite neighborhood this is great ad the flat is on a little quiet street but within a minute's walk you are right in the middle of it all at campo. The place was clean, comfortable and more than roomy for two people. We didn't even use the second bedroom. I couldn't say enough good things about it. And Nicola (the building manager) was super sweet and helpful. Definitely get this flat or any other flats by this owner ... Especially the campo flat!

Good location

We stayed there for 4 nights during our stay in Rome. The apartment is located near the Termi Train Station which is around 15 mins walk , but don't walk the inner streets coz it can be confusing if you are new to Rome. Go straight to the Republica Square and there you will see Nationzale. The apartment is located on the first floor and it is very spacious, with a bed room with 2 single beds plus a soft bed in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom are newly designed and everything are same as we saw from the pictures. However, something that cannot be seen from the photos need to be improved. First of all, the internet signal is very poor. The router is located at the next door unit where the signal cannot be strong enough to cover 2 units at the same time. Most of the time I have no signal and cannot go online. Since the apartment is located on a main street where traffic is very busy, a ear plug is an asset if you are a light sleeper. The shower box is big but hot water can use up quickly if you have more than 2 person living in the unit. The kitchen looks new but is not very very clean, stains and dirt can be found. The sofa and the area rug also has noticeable dirt. I think some more cleaning work and some slightly extra decoration will make the unit looks different; all of these are just matter of better maintenance. The property manager greeted us on arrival, and briefed us about the unit and I eventually figured out where the cooking equipment and how to use the oven and the washer by myself which was totally okay for me. I will recommend this unit to others but I would also be happy to see the unit with some extra add on such as a shower curtain, a small bookshelf, or maybe a coffee table to replace the little triangle small table to put those Cable box, DVD player and so on. some pictures to hang on the wall and also please remove the mirror that facing the bed ( not everyone would like to see oneself wake up in the middle of night from the mirror) I think for this amount of money that people pay for, the recommendation on the unit will definitely be justified. I look forward to see a newer and cleaner look in this unit so as not to waste such a spacious and well designed unit. Keep on work hard to maintain it !!

Owner response:As the guest says, the apartment is spacious, recently renovated and well located (corresponding to the photographs) and is very popular with families and couples. Our aim is that guests are happy with their stay and so we are very disappointed that the guest was not entirely satisfied with some elements of the apartment - and will bear his comments and suggestions in mind and work hard to make sure future guests have no reason to be dissatisfied. We acknowledge a problem with the internet line during the guest's stay - this was a network problem in general that the internet provider had to resolve. The guest received a small compensation for the inconvenience. The router has been specifically positioned by a technician in the next door apartment to give good wifi internet coverage in both apartments.

Perfect In Every Way

This appartment was perfect for my wife and I to explore Rome during our 7 day visit. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to the Rome Termini (main train station) and all of the major sites, (pantheon, colloseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Borghese Gardens, Campo Fiori, Piazza Nuove). The Vatican can also be reached by walking (30 minutes) but the Metor A line is 1 1/2 short blocks away and it takes to there in about 8 minutes. Nicola who greeted us was great. She showed us how the apartment worked, told us where the nearest grocery was and answered any questions we had. She even produced a couple of umbrellas in case we needed them during the week, (we didn't, the weather was perfect all week). Everything in the apartment was clean and worked as advertised. The owners of this apartment have several others in Rome and they know what they are doing. I would recommend renting from them and my wife and I will be doing so again in the future.

Owner response:Thankyou for your note and for having chosen our flat in Rome. For any friends or family coming to Rome, they can have a Special Discount as "Preferred Guests", you can give them this VRBO Listing. Thanks again and looking forward to meeting you in the future again in Rome. Kind Regards Fabio & Nicola

My family (2 adults and 9 and 11 year old children) stayed in May 2010. We really loved the apartment, it was very modern inside, clean and well equiped and a fantastic location! The printed information with restaurant recommendations etc was very helpful. We hope to come back some day and would thoroughly recommend it!!

My sister and I stayed in this charming apartment for 11 days in October 2009. Great location, the apartment itself has alot of space and was quite fun to stay in on our vacation. Ruza met us upon arrival and was kind enough to arrange a taxi to bring us to the airport for our early morning departure. We would stay here again, we hope to stay in this wonderful apartment again!

Four of us (2 couples) shared this apartment for 3 nights in October 2008. We found it to be sparkling clean and bright, and it suited our needs quite nicely. The location is wonderful and the city manager, Nicola, was quite friendly and helpful. Dale Jones

We stayed in this flat from Sunday, May 4, 2008 to Sunday, May 11, 2008. It was absolutely fantastic. The city manager, Nicola met us upon our arrival and explained the workings of the flat. We arranged a time to get our deposit back. The flat itself was perfect for our family of 3 with a sofa bed and two twin beds, which we simply pulled together. The bathroom and kitchen were fantastic. The location is absolutely the best. Close to bus, metro and the train station. It was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much and recommend this flat to anyone looking for an excellent holiday location in Rome.
