My wife and I spent 8 days in Rome in late January and we highly recommend this apartment. Great location, especially if you like to walk. You are 15 minutes from The Vatican, and 20 minutes from historic city centre. The apartment is quiet and has everything you need. The neighborhood is full of life. Communication with the owner was first-rate and the driver she uses picked my wife up at the airport and delivered both of us there when it was time to leave. The photos of the apartment are accurate. It was clean, safe and a great place to make a base.

My partner and I stayed in this lovely apartment for 8 days over the Christmas holidays. It was so incredibly well located and in such a beautiful & fun neighborhood. Isabella met us on the first day and gave us some great tips, e.g. nearby & yummy Augusto restaurant. The apartment is just as cute as the photos and pretty quiet, especially given the lively neighborhood. It's located just a block from the Tiber River... a quick walk to Campo de Fiori and just about any tourist sites of major interest. We walked everywhere and often just wandered around cute Trastevere as well. We can't wait to return to Rome and would love to stay here once again!

Wonderful location and apartment!

My sister and I stayed at this apartment in November, and it suited our needs perfectly. There are lots of wonderful restaurants nearby. It's only a few steps from the beautiful Ponte Sisto. Isabella took the time to carefully explain everything we needed to know. I would definitely return to this property again when we come back to Rome. It's in a busy area but with the windows closed we couldn't hear any noise from outside. We were able to walk to just about everything we wanted to do, but there is public transportation close by. We particularly enjoyed going to the Porta Portese market on Sunday morning...a lot of junk but also very interesting antiques.

This was our first trip to Rome. We were a little nervous about renting an apartment in another country, but the apartment was exactly as advertised and was comfortable and very clean with lots of storage. The owner was very helpful and professional. Although the main living space overlooks a small court facing the street, the apartment was very bright, having five windows. The windows in the main living space were well insulated and blocked out street noise. Closing the kitchen and bathroom doors at night blocked noise from those windows. The kitchen had everything you could want. The bathroom was beautiful with lots of luxuries and plenty of hot water. WiFi made planning our days very easy. The location was perfect allowing us to walk everywhere - Vatican, Colosseum, Spanish Steps. We never took public transportation. The area was very safe, even at night. If you are particular about where you stay, then this is the place for you. It's much nicer than many hotels. We can't recommend the apartment highly enough and thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

Great Apartment

Guest: Skippy (Singleton, NSW, Australia)

The apartment is in a quiet street just across the Tiber from the centre of Rome. It is an easy walk into the centre or 200m to the number 8 tram. This will take you to the city or Trastevere station. The surrounding streets are full of interesting restaurants, much cheaper than across the Tiber. This is also an area of Rome where you are more likely to be outnumbered by Romans than fellow tourists. The apartment is comfortable and modern with quality fittings. What is portrayed in the photos is what you actually find there. Isabella was helpful, organised and a pleasure to deal with. The only improvement would be internet access, but this would not be enough to stop us staying again.

Owner response:From June there will be wifi in the apartment :-)

Amazing Rome Vacation

Our stay here was amazing, we were able to walk to all of the sites of rome within about 30 mins. or so. The apartment is surrounded by resturants and shops which make staying there even more convenient. We also have two dogs and we had no problems with them staying also. The owner was very easy to get ahold of and able to get us any information that we needed or answer any questions. Overall this was one of the best vactions we have ever had.
