My husband and 10 year old son and I stayed here for 8 days. This apartment is lovely. It is very spacious, well equipped and in the ideal location. The street is amazing - shops, great restaurants, very beautiful. There is a grocery store very nearby and great trattorias literally out the door. We walked everywhere from the apartment. At night walking to the Tiber or Piazza Navona is an easy walk after dinner. Would recommend this highly. I wish we were still there!

What a location!

My husband and I spent two wonderful weeks in this apartment (October 21-November 4, 2011). It is spacious, well-equipped and in a PERFECT location for exploring Rome. It is within walking distance of the Vatican, Piazza Navona, Trastevere, the Jewish Quarter, Campo de' Fiori and many other sites. A grocery store is near by, as are many trattorias. Taxi ranks and ATMs are close as well. The apartment is on an elegant main drag with a cobblestoned alley behind it. It is a totally secure building with tiny, but serviceable elevators. One caveat: Since the Romans are nocturnal-- and stay out until wee hours of the morning-- you will, no doubt hear the revelers (like everywhere in Rome). However, we found it all entertaining, rather than annoying. Fiora, the owner of the apartment, is very kind and helpful as is her assistant, Nur. We will stay here again and again....

Great apartment and spectacular location

Full kitchen, nice decor and very clean in addition to it's location makes this property an spectacular choice. Most of all Fiora and her team are just immediate reaction for what ever problem appears. Location few blocks between piazza Navona and Ponte san't Angelo makes it just the right spot. My only concern needs an air conditioner in the master bedroom.

My husband, 3 year old daughter and I stayed in this lovely apartment for 5 days in July 2011. We were very comfortable here. A full kitchen enabled us to save a lot of money by cooking and having snacks in the house. There was plenty ofroom for us. A small bedroom downstairs had 2 twin beds. The downstairs shower is small, but still fine to use. We used the washer and dryer every night, which enabled us to leave for the 2nd half of our trip with a suitcase full of clean clothes. The location was the best part. It is located on a very nice side street with tons of restaurants. There is an ATM and grocery store very close to the apartment. The area is safe. The bus lines are very close. Many attractions are within walking distance, such as the Vatican, Castel Sant'angelo, Piazza Navonna, the Pantheon. We walked to the Spanish Steps and Trevi fountain, but they were a bit of a walk. We opted to take a bus to the Forum and Colleseum. The wifi is a big help too. Tip: on the tv, you can change the language to English on many of the channels. There is a button on the remote for this. Also, do not get a car. Have the driver pick you up. It's worth the 45 euros.

This is a centrally-located apartment that has all that our family of five needed for a terrific week-long vacation in Rome. Our hostess was helpful and available for whatever we needed. She arranged a shuttle from the airport for us. We found that we didn't even need bus passes to get around the city, and thoroughly enjoyed having this convenient apartment location. All of the appliances worked and we were extremely pleased with all of the amenities, which were just as described. When we go back to Rome, we will certainly want to stay here again!

My husband, 17 year old daughter and I stayed at Palazzo d'Avila for 8 days in February 2011. This was the first part of our 2 week visit to Italy. I had spent many hours researching a place to stay in Rome in advance of our trip. The description of this property, the location and the comments from other guests guided my choice. Fiora and I exchanged e-mails and all my questions were answered in advance of our trip. We made the right choice. This location was fantastic. The photos and description accurately represented the house. The house was very clean, very comfortable, very quiet and very secure. We had plenty of space and having the 2 bathrooms was very practical, especially with a 17 year old! Fiora and Nur arranged for the taxi to meet us at the airport and take us to the house - that was such a welcomed service after spending over 24 hours in air transit. The driver was very polite, kind and professional. This service is well worth the extra cost. In Fiora's absence Nur answered our questions on site and we thank her for her kindness and helpfulness. Everything we needed was located in the house and we very much appreciated the washer and dryer for laundry. We also very much appreciated having access to WiFi as it allowed us to easily stay in touch with our family and work back home in the comfort of our accommodations. The location of this house was terrific - everything was within walking distance and there were many restaurants handy to the house. We had a terrific meal at Ristorante Clemente at Piazza della Maddalena which is close to the house. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates fine food. We loved Piazza Navona and the proximity of the house to the piazza. I would highly recommend this house. Staying at this house was a big part of what made our trip to Italy a trip of a life time. Should I have the good fortune of returning to Rome I will once again stay at this Palazzo d'Avila!! Annette

Our family took our first trip to Europe this month and rented this apartment in Rome. It was perfect! FYI: I am a "high maintenance" traveler and like clean accommodations. It can be a little "interesting" renting a unit online in another country and hoping it is as expected. Well, the apartment and the manager exceeded all expectations! The apartment is in a lovely neighborhood, we walked everywhere, to the Vatican, Colosseum, Forum. The unit is in a beautiful building, beautiful courtyard and a very clean apartment. One of the previous reviews mentioned the sofa needed to be cleaned, it was obviously just cleaned before our arrival! We were a family of five and the unit was a great fit. The beds were comfortable with clean linens/comforters. In addition to the apartment being just as presented online, the manager was also exceptional. The arrangement was that we would meet her at the apartment directly from the airport, and when we arrived she was waiting for us and got us settled in. Very kind and helpful personality. Everything promised was delivered, they went above and beyond with their service. We also utilized the driver service they offer to and from the airport which was a great service! For our return flight we needed a driver at 4 AM! The driver arrived on time, driving a nice Mercedes all at a reasonable price. Everything about this rental was perfect making our visit to Rome perfect!
