We really enjoyed out stay in Rome at this location. Very easy to reach subway so you can explore Rome. Supermarket very close by for essentials. Felt very secure in the area. Apartment was well appointed and convienent. If you travel in Europe, you know how small Europian hotels are, so this apartment was a welcomed experience compared to hotels. Everyting went very well, we were met at the apartment as agreed upon and the transaction went smooth. Damage refund was returned the week we retured home.

My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks. The location was very convenient- an easy walk to the Cipro Metro Station and the Vatican. We especially enjoyed having breakfast and some dinners on the balcony. The markets and a gelateria are nearby. The bread and pizza from the Pizzarium were incredible (Bonci). Grazie!!!

Our stay

Overall, a good place to stay. Close to metro and local food store for basic staples. Owner was accommodating and even gave us a ride back to the airport. The apartment was accurately portrayed as described. Rome is noisy at night so we closed the windows, turned on the A/C and were able to sleep well. Unit is in a residential area, but just a short metro ride to all the main sights. Coffee machine in apt. uses Nespresso brand refill cups. There is a Coin store not far away...2km...where these can be purchased. If not, there is a coffee shop across the street which is open occasionally. No other coffee equipment in apt...not even a french press, so if coffee is important to you, please take note.Internet was good, but no english language channels on TV. Washer and dryer were great to have. In summary, a good place to stay...perfect for a couple. Thanks for all your help Mauro!!!

We found this apartmetn to be extremely convenient and a great base for exploring all of Rome. The short walk to the metro was great and we were able to take the metro all over town. The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped. We really enjoyed relaxing on the balcony in the evening and with the great view of St. Peter's dome. The neighborhood was clean, safe and friendly with a grocery store just steps away and great gelato shop near the metro. We would stay here again on future visits. The owners are friendly and accomodating.

Roma/Vaitcan at your fingertips!

We spent the most amazing four nights in this lovely apartment situated very close to the Vatican and to the Metro at Cipro where you can actually go anywhere in Roma you want!!! My husband and I along with our 18yr old daughter enjoyed our visit. It was so wonderful to know that you could come home to a nice clean apartment after touring all day in Rome. We loved walking out of the apartment and down the street each morning and going by our favorite bakery to pick up breakfast. The croissants were awesome! Then we go on the Metro to our destination of the day...Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Colloseum, the Forum, Palintino, and of course the Vatican. We ate some of the best authentic Italian cuisine at Osteria de Moro da Tony. The reason we ate there was because of the print in the apartment of the guy eating pasta. We saw the same pic at this restaurant and KNEW this was the place for us. As we walked along the Tiber River and through Travestere we were reminded of how LONG ago all of this was created...just for us to enjoy! Ice cream is a family favorite of ours...so be sure to check out the Gelatia just as you depart the Metro at Spagna...once you get off the Metro it is just on your right!!! Now for a few notes to the wise...exchange all $$$ at a BANK as the currency exchangers are not the best at giving you a fair rate; go to the grocery store conveniently located near the apartment for your lunch items, water, and necessities!!! We LOVED our time at Mauro's apartment in ROMA. Thank you Mauro for arranging our Limo pickup at the airport(worth EVERY euro!!) AND for a most comfortable rest for our family. We enjoyed celebrating our daughter's graduation from high school beginning in Roma at your wonderful apartment! We can't wait to see what awaits us we continue our journey through Italia!!! Blessings to you and yours, Mauro. We pray that our paths cross again! Hugs from Georgia, USA!!!

Just Right for exploring Rome

We spent the 1st week of our European adventure in this apartment. It is compact and efficient in design, and modular furniture makes the most of the space. We were a family of 4 adults and it suited our needs quite well, much better than a hotel room ever would have. Spaces in Europe are much smaller than North American expansive spaces but this apartment made good use of every centimetre. I cooked every night in the kitchen and we loved the Nespresso machine. It was a blessing at the beginning and end of every day. The kitchen had everything you required to prepare meals for your family. There are spices and oil in the cupboards and you are just asked to top up what you use.unless you are really on vacation and take advantage of the many take-out restaurants in the locale. This apartment is centrally located to all the amenities you would require while travelling: fully stocked grocery store 2 minutes away, bakeries, pizzerias, fruit/veggie stands and metro within 2 block distance. We enjoy walking and were there during the beatification of Pope John Paul II. What an experience to walk through the celebration and access was so easy because of the apartments location. The Spanish Steps, Coliseum, and other major points of interest are only a quick metro ride away. The metro is easy and inexpensive to use and you should not hesitate to use it as it is very clean and efficient. The bedroom is lovely and a good sleep is possible, and we did enjoy our morning lattes on the balcony. This apartment has all the modern conveniences you would require and more. We appreciated Mauro arranging our limo ride from the airport. After a long flight it will define how your vacation will proceed. Not sure Rome is as easy to navigate from the Airport as Venice and Paris are. Highly recommend this place to explore Rome from. We have stayed in 3/5 of Carmen and Mauro's apartments. Only 2 more to go!

Great location - 2 min walk to metro that will take you to all the major attractions & shops selling handmade pasta, large selection of cheeses, wine, antipasto, Butcher shop, fresh bread, coffee/sweet shop! Grocery store across from apt bldg & another around the corner!. 15 min walk to Vatican City, St Peter's Basilica & vatican Museum . Corner apartment w large windows on 2 sides. Free WiFi came in very handy during our visit for prebooking our vatican museum visit & cking opening times for other attractions during Easter Weekend. We were very comfortable staying here - even provided big umbrella for those rainy days we encountered during our visit. Note for CDN/US visitors - dryer listed is drying rack but also has extra drying rack on balcony. Would definately stay here again! Thanks Mauro for your Roma hospitality!!

The appartment was clean, well furnished. It was in the real and regular Roman life (not in a tourists area). The supermarket is just in front of the building. There's a little shop with good italian food just around the corner. The 492 bus terminal is just behind the metro station (2 minutes walk) and this line goes to all the historic center. So, every thing was good.

Rome Stay Mid-Nov 2010 through Mid-Jan 2011

Date of Stay: 11/22/10 Review Submitted: 05/29/11

Rome Stay – Mid-November 2010 through Mid-January 2011 We were very pleased with our choice of this apartment. It is located in a very pleasant neighborhood with public transportation (both the Metro - the underground – and buses) very close by. The apartment is furnished very nicely with good quality furniture and a well-equipped kitchen, including a full oven in addition to the microwave and four burners. There are supermarkets, coffee bars, restaurants, and all other shops and markets within two blocks walking distance. The owners, Carmen and Mauro, are very friendly and helpful, showing us on the included computer the web page to plot our route from one place to another using all the forms of transportation available. They responded very quickly to any questions we had or help we needed. Definitely a place we would choice to stay again – and hopefully we will at sometime!!

The apartment was great, modern and comfortable with all the facilities you could possibly need for a holiday. It is only a short walk to the metro and an easy stroll to the vatican. It also has a handy supermarket just up the road and is reasonably quiet at night. The owners have been a pleasure to deal with making the stay even more enjoyable.

My husband and I stayed here for a week this past September. The appartment is well located close to the subway, which makes it easy to go anywhere in Rome! The owners are excellent to deal with and it's a bonus to have a balcony, we often had our breakfast or drank wine while having a view of St. Peters....Overall a good experience!

I stayed at this apartment for 1 week with my brother. On arrival it was refreshing to see an apartment which more than lived up to the expectations promised by the advertised photographs. The facilities were excellent and encouraged one to seek their comfort at the end of a day of sore feet and 2000 years of history. The apartment is very well located, a short walk to St Peter's Square and a stone’s throw from the metro station which will transport you to the action in no time - save the leather on your shoes as you won't be short changed in that department. The location is peaceful and could be described as representing a "typical" Italian quarter seemingly unencumbered with tourists affording one an excellent supermarket, delicatessen, bakery and patisserie/bar nearby. In addition there is a selection of local restaurants/pizzerias that in my opinion mix it with the very best of them when it comes to the pizzas. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and the whole process of renting the apartment was made effortless in large part owing to the owner being helpful and acting honestly in all my dealings with him.

When in Rome

What a great Apartment! Location is excellent (Metro stop, grocery store, bakery, cheese/wine store, etc... just around the corner) and the apartment features are just what we needed. Traveling as a couple with a 4 year old child can be difficult but this apartment made it easy. The sofa bed in the living room was large and comfortable for my son. The kitchen was a dream to cook in (if you choose to cook a meal or two...) and the master bed room was roomy and allowed for easy "recharging" after long walks in the streets of Rome. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We stayed at this apartment for 1 week while we played tourist in Rome. This apartment is very close to the Vatican, about a 5 minute walk. The apartment was clean and the owner represented it correctly. The owners met us when we arrived and explained everything to the us. I would recommend this apartment to anyone considering staying in Rome.

We just spent a wonderful week in this condo at the beginning of May 2010.We had no car but the location was perfect, close to the subway, groceries to 30 meters. Everything was very, very clean. . We are two people 60 years and we visitertout what we wanted with the Metro Our biggest recommendation is to take a taxi from the airport to the condo, the fatigue of travel, the train to downtown and the subway to the condo is to much after a long flight. Take a taxi will be the best decision We had to fly early in the morning for Canada and the owner took care of us bought a limousine at the time requested, we thank him very much We recommend this condo unrestricted

My wife and I spent five pleasent days in this comfortable apartment in December 2009. It is very well suited for two persons, but can accomodate four if needed. I has all modern amenities including microwave, dishwasher, large fridge, washing machine and so on. The bathroom is well equipped also, but the shower is somewhat complicated to use, but works fine when you learn how to use it. The owner, who was very helpful and friendly, told us that he is planning to replace the shower with a simpler model. The apartment has nice balconies, but as the apartment is in the 7th floor and if you have aversion for high places you might not use them much. On ther other hand being in the 7th floor means that noise from the street is minimal and you sleep well in the comfortable bedroom. The apartment is very well located as it is at an easy walking distance from the Vatican and the metro station is only about 100 meters from the apartment and grocery store and market and other shops and cafes and many restaurants are close by. We can warmly recommend this apartment for a comfortable stay in Rome

We stayed in this apartment for 6 nights in March 2009 and LOVED every minute. The location is fabulous. We walked to the Cipro metro station in less than 5 minutes and could be at the Vatican Museum in about 20 minutes or less. However, it is tucked into a nice block of apartments where you can see daily Roman life all around. We loved experiencing the culture this way. There are also several restaurants and businesses nearby. The owner met us at the apartment right on time (speaks excellent English) and showed us everything we needed to know about the place. He left good contact information in case of emergency, but we did not need to use it. The supermarket is about 30 seconds away and was a great place for snacks and drinks, etc. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There was a little street noise at night, but this usually quieted down by 11:00 p.m. (2300). Altogether, this apartment was more than we could ask for at a GREAT price. We LOVED our stay and would recommend this place to ANYONE!
