  Our experience at this apt and in dealing w/Fiora and Nur were all we (4 adults) needed & wanted. Our time in Rome pre-cruise was fabulous. The location was great & as others stated many conveniences were w/in walking distance. The WIFI was free and speed was great. this allowed us to keep in contact w/home and was a great plus. We had a few minor complaints: the shower upstairs had "major" water pressure issues & @ times there was NO water. This was very annoying when trying to get up and ready for a long day site-seeing. There were many "spit-shine" baths. Not a great way to start our long days. Also, as stated there were not enough wine glasss for 4, but the complimentary wine from Fiora (tyvm) was enjoyed in tumblers and tasted just fine ! :) LOL. The apt was well cared for and was a serene retreat after long days in the streets of Roma.The views were spectacular from all the upstairs terraces. We were told that the neighbors won't allow short term renters anymore, as "noisy Americans" disturb the permanent residents. I felt very uncomfortable hereing this on our arrival, but totally understoond the warning. We were a traveling family of 4 adults and were in by 10pm most nights. We took special care to enter and leave quietly and follow all the rules, however w/such an old building, concrete steps and multiple doors the echos did make even us "church mouses" sound loud. It's a shame other short term visitors will not get to experience this wonderful place. Whomever resides here is in for a most pleasurable stay. Best wishes, Fiora and grazie for letting us share your rental home. Arrivederci !

  Our stay at this beautiful and extremely well located property was excellent. It was full of light and beautiful plants and great views of Rome--including a dramatic view of St. Peters. Fortunately, the air-conditioners worked very well and the apartment was always a welcomed relief from the July heat. We had a total party of 6 (including our daughter and 3 grandchildren and were very comfortable. Fiora was responsive to our needs and even had our clothes laundered and ironed when the washing machine temporarily broke down. She even brought us a bottle of delicious red wine made by her husband! The only suggestion we have is that there could be more pillows available. It was a totally positive experience!

  The apartment was wonderful and very clean. The owner's assistant met us upon arrival and answered all our questions. The check-in/out was quick and easy. My wife and I stayed with our 3 young children and Aunt and there was plenty of room for all. The bedrooms were very nice and plenty of towels and basics for the stay. No issues with any of the appliances. The first floor is the kitchen, bath and living area and then about 12 steps up to the 3 bedrooms and another living room on the second floor. The view was awesome and best of all the A/C (we stayed in July and it was HOT) was wonderful. The area couldn't be beat and was close to many dining or shopping options and felt very safe and comfortable. Having a car is not recommend in the area as it is in the city center and you A. have to time it right to drive in without being fined and B. can't park anywhere. Highly recommend.

  A very nice apartment with a great location--almost any place in the historic center was walkable and there were a number of restaurants and a small grocery store within a five minute walk. Fiora was very easy to work with and made the arrangements and check-in/check-out process very easy. Water pressure in the shower was very low, and although many instructions were provided for various appliances, it was not clear how to run the washing machine, and the coffee maker did not work properly. In spite of that, we'd stay there again in a minute!

  This apartment is on a lovely and safe street, directly across from a beautiful church. The apartment is clean and spacious with three balconies and two living areas. The kitchen opens to the largest balcony area and we spent lovely afternoon breaks here. Fiora and Nor were both helpful and arranged a wonderful driver for our daytrip to Pompeii. Here are the things we wish we had known: The elevator takes you to the 4th floor and you must walk the stairs to the 5th floor, not a big deal unless stairs are a problem for you and you are expecting the elevator as described in the listing. Downstairs Bathroom (Bathroom 1 in photos) has a tub with a handheld shower head but functions very poorly as a shower – no curtain or glass. While the shower head can hang from a hook on the wall, the water falls mostly on the ledge of the tub. As a bathtub it is suitable for children only, as it measures only about 3 ½ feet long. Take heed that there are no photos of two of the bedrooms. One comes with one twin bed and another single, cot-width bed and the room is bisected by a very low, angled beam. The other has a queen bed on a low frame, nearly on the floor and this room has a trellis as a wall that opens loft-like to the downstairs. This room is only about 7 feet wide, it has very little privacy and is open to all sound in the apartment so whenever anyone is awake in the morning, so too are you if this is your room. This is a charming apartment in a terrific location, a few blocks from the Tiber, an easy walk to Piazza Nuvona, and a long walk to the Vatican; just be aware of some inconveniences.

  As a family of five experiencing Europe for the first time, this apartment did not dissappoint. The location was great, with lots of restaruants and shops nearby. We felt very safe and comfortable with the neighborhood and often went out for walks at night. The apartment provided our two teenagers and 20 year old with enough space for their winding down time at the end of a busy day touring Rome. The wireless internet worked very well and we were able to keep up with things back home. The kitchen allowed us to have breakfast in the morning before our daily departure and provided us with the flexibility of being able to eat in if we decided to do so. The unit was very clean and well furnished. The photos accurately reflect the apartment's appearance and amenities. We would recommend this property to anyone with a group/family of 5 to 8. The apartment is a penthouse unit, on the 5th floor. While there is a lift, it is small, and the stairs are the only other option. We did not mind using the stairs, but renters should keep this item in mind. In our opinion, the views from the various balconies far outweighed the flights of stairs. Finally, the 5th floor location makes for a very quiet stay.

• A great place to spend New Years

  My family spent the days following Christmas through New Years at this property.We enjoyed it thoroughly. The location was perfect, characteristic of the old neighborhoods of Rome with small shops and the Campo di Fiori near by. We were 4 adults and were quite comfortable in the apartment. It is as described, well stocked and well maintained. Fiora and her assistant were quite helpful. But the very best part of the stay was New Years Eve. We could hear the singing from the Vatican from the top balconey and at midnight we were surrounded by fireworks! A New Years eve we will never forget. I highly recommend this apartment.

  Couldn't fault this apartment really. It's on the top floor of an apartment block and the lift is tiny, so if you don't like small spaces be prepared to climb lots of stairs! The location is perfect, within walking distance of all the major sights (10 minutes from Vatican City and Travastere, round the corner from Campo di Fiori (lots of places for coffee/breakfast), a few minutes walk to a supermarket. The apartment is set over two floors with the bedrooms being on the upper floor. There are two balconys and the views from the upper balcony are stunning. There are three double bedrooms, two with doubles and one with two single beds. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. The check in process went really well. The only minor niggle was that there wasn't enough mugs/glasses for 6 people (eg only 4 mugs, 4 wine glasses etc), but apart from that I would highly recommend this apartment. Would definitely return.

  We just returned from our Roman holiday and stayed 10 days in this apartment. The apartment is lovely and in a perfect location. August is perhaps not the time to go, however, as many Romans are gone and the antiques and design shops on via Montserrato (as well as other shops) are mostly closed, but the apartment is all we could have wanted and more. The 4 terraces make wonderful ambiance and light; the kitchen, living rooms, dining area, bedrooms are all light and very pleasant (note that one of the bedrooms is tiny and not particularly private). Looking at other rental options in Rome, this has to be one of the best for tastefulness, location and atmosphere. We loved being on 2 floors, the tons of windows, the huge pots of lemon, olive and other trees and plants on the shaded terrace, the modern kitchen, the view of the rooftops, the bells ringing in the hours at the nearby churches. Magical. Thank you Fiora and Nor!

  We stood 4 nights in this lovely apartment, very well situated, walking distance to all major attractions. There are a lot of restaurants around and a nice little shop from where you can buy everything you need for your stay. The administration of the apartment was very friendly and gave us few tips on what to visit and when.
