The location of this apartment is fantastic!!! We , family with 4 children,were very comfortable and enjoyed the space. The rooms are good size and the bathrooms were sufficient. The kitchen was fine for us, though we only had breakfast there. But nothing will beat this location!!!!. We arrived very early and had to leave very very early but it was not problem----thankfully. Thank you for a wonderful holiday stay.

I stayed in this lovely three bedroom apartment with my husband, my parents, and my four year old daughter. The apartment had a lot of charm and character. It is close to the Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain. I absolutely loved the location. The apartment was clean and well maintained. The owner was very easy to work with and very helpful in answering questions. She also gave me the name of a cab to call to meet us at the airport, which we also used again in Rome on our way back from Sorrento. It was fabulous. I would def stay here again and recommend it to a friend or relative.

Owner response:Thank you, Julie. You were great tenants. Mara

Great Choice in Rome

This apartment exceeded expectations. It is as charming as advertised, and the location in a prime upscale shopping neighborhood off the Spanish Steps was even better than imagined. We were a group of six, including two young twenty-something couples, and the layout and amenities were just right for our needs. You can walk everywhere from here - the piazzas, Colosseum, Pantheon, Vatican- and we did. We stayed for 5 nights after Christmas, and enjoyed mild winter weather and the unique experience of Roman New Years Eve at the Spanish Steps! Mara was very helpful, and flexible when our arrival was delayed a day due to snowstorms on the east coast. We hope to come back!

Beatiful Apartment in a Fantastic Location

Our famil of 6 spent 4 days in this lovely apartment in December. The location is outstanding...just minutes from the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Metro. The apartment layout was great. Our 4 kids were in 2 bedrooms on 1 side of the apartment and we were on the other side. We had everything we could possibly need provided for us, down to umbrellas, which came in handy! We had a draining problem in one of the showers and the owner promptly had a plumber out to fix the problem. We will definitely stay here again if given the chance. Great value for the money.

Owner response:Thank you!!! It was a pleasure to have you as guests. Mara

This apartment totally lived up to our expectations. This was our first experience with VRBO and we are hooked. The location simply could not be better, on a mostly pedestrian street and right in the middle of were you want to be. Mara has provided a large map on the kitchen wall that provides local info for stores and sites, etc. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen came well equipped and stocked with most of the condiments you may need. We love to cook and used the kitchen extensively to help cut costs. It functioned well and was well stocked with all of the pots and pans we needed (however I did wish for some better cutlery). We had a family emergency during our five night stay requiring one of out group of five to return home early. Mara was extremely helpful and went out of her way to assist us. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

This apartment was wonderful!!! It was clean, spacious, quiet, and easily accessible. There was plenty of room for six people and the elevator made getting our luggage to the apartment very easy. The location was perfect - only a few blocks from the Spanish Steps and the Spagna metro stop and right in the middle of wonderful shopping. We will definitely try to stay here again if we have the chance to return to Rome.

We very much enjoyed staying at the apartment. It was perfect for our family, both in terms of space/function/utility and it was the perfect location to be in Rome. Our kids (10 & 13yrs) said it made them feel a little bit like they were a person from Rome, not a tourist and on the flight home they voted this vacation as the best so far. Obviously we will be recommending it to our friends and when we return to Rome, we will of course be contacting Mara again.

We had a great time staying at this apartment during our visit in Rome! The apartment itself is very charming -the exterior and interior decor are beautiful and it was also very comfortable. We stayed here with 6 people (2 adults, 4 children) and there was plenty of space. The location was also perfect - it was right in the middle of a lovely shopping area and walking distance to many interesting sights. The landlady was very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend renting this property - we had a great time in Rome largely due to the fact that we lucked out in picking this apartment to stay at. It was a real find and I highly recommend it.
