My wife and I, and our three daughters stayed here for 3 nights in the week before Christmas. Pietro and Marina provided a wealth of information upon arrival...despite it being 11 PM when we arrived. They were helpful in so many ways - from providing a fabulous property to a cell phone for use during our stay. The view of the colosseum at night was awesome. Building and apartment were very clean and quiet. No complaints at all. Would highly recommend this place.

There is not much to add to all of the rave reviews already posted about this property, but I did want to say that we four adults, including my elderly father, had a wonderful time here in late October, 2011. The weather was perfect, the location was great, and that terrace really cannot be beat! Marina greeted us very warmly with lots of helpful tips and info sheets, not to mention that bottle of bubbly! And Pietro was unbelievably gracious when we called him at 4 a.m. on the date of our departure because we had not realized the time was changing overnight and we were terribly confused by the differing times on the clocks when we woke up early to catch our cab. I'm only sorry we did not take advantage of their tourguide services, but that gives us something to go back for!

Though we did not have the opportunity to stay in the apartment shown, Pietro and Marina allow my family and I to stay in Marina apartment for our stay in Rome. The location of Marina's apartment was perfect and the room inside was sufficient for a family of 5. Both Pietro and Marina were wonderful host as they met us at the apartment upon our arrive. Marina made us feel completely at home and Pietro is so full of knowledge, he is a walking Encyclopaedia. If you are planning on staying with Pietro and Marina I would suggest talking the Pompeii tour that Pietro offers. Lets just say it is an awesome experience. Marina, lets just say your help when my wife Cathy needed it was a God Send and your are a very special person. I would recommend staying at the apartment especially the one closest to the Colosseum it would be a great opportunity. Thanks again to you both Pietro and Marina, you made our stay in Rome something truely to remember and we love the Olive Oil. Oh, and the kids are already begging us to return.

Thank you to Pietro and Marina for the most wonderful experience in Rome. We could not have asked for more. The accomodations are perfect, but even better was the hospitality you both extended to our family. For anyone researching the reviews on this listing, it is a spacious apartment with a very convenient location. There are beautiful views, great restaurants, supermarkets, and the metro very nearby. Pietro and Marina are wonderful and the tours Pietro gives are great. Thank you again for this priceless experience!

Seventy glowing reviews may seem a bit unbelievable, but let me assure you, they are all fully justified. The listing, if anything, under-represents this apartment, its amenities, and its ideal location. We were a party of four; myself, my husband, our adult daughter and her friend. Everyone had plenty of room and privacy, we cooked wonderful meals in the well-equipped kitchen, rested from our travels around Rome on the wonderful terrace (which is much larger than the photo suggests) and slept well on the comfortable beds. All in all a perfect stay at a wonderful apartment. The Internet access is good as well (6MB/s my husband tells me) more than adequate for a few hours of tele-commuting everyday, sending files back and forth to our clients. We will be back! I may even book our trips depending on the availability of this apartment.

We stayed with our two teenagers in Pietro and Marina's apartment and loved every minute of it. It is a funky place with lots of room, a spiral staircase in the middle - an upstairs separate suite for Mom and Dad with a terrace that has fabulous views of the city. Marina greeted us with maps, subway routes and information about Rome that we used throughout our stay. We booked Pietro's tour which we thoroughly enjoyed and which ended with visits to a local bakery which he believed had the best tarts (he was right) and the oldest Gelato factory, which the kids loved. The personal attention was amazing - they even provided us with a cell phone during our stay so we could make local calls and it came in handy more than once. I can't say enough good things about the hospitality provided. The location was also terrific, with the Coliseum about a 5 minute walk away and lots of good restaurants in the neighborhood. It, frankly, seemed a bit scary at first when the taxi dropped us off due to the amount of graffitti, but we learned this is the norm in Rome and the neighborhood was filled with professionals and lots of bustling businesses nearby. You will enjoy your stay here.

We just flew into Rome & had a very personal welcome by owners w fresh pastries & bubbly white. My children enjoyed their own room (2 beds) w desk/computer. Loved the copper tub & old fashioned pull string loo. It's a cosy well lived in apt. This 6th floor apt is quiet & has beautiful views on veranda outside master bedroom located on a 7th floor up a17-steps spiral stairs. We have booked tours to Vatican & Pompeii with owners, who truly share their passionate love for all italian culture & food. You will get a printed list of their favorite restaurants/cafes as well as loads of details on attractions etc etc.

We can only add that we agree with all the wonderful reviews. The apartment is perfectly located and Marina and Pietro are wonderful ambassadors to their beautiful city. Do not miss Pietros tours, it was the highlight of our trip to Rome. We cannot wait to return and stay at Via Labicana. We had the absolute best time. Everything went so perfectly. Many thanks to Pietro and Marinas for their kindness and wonderful apartment.

We were a group of 7 women who spent 4 nights here. Pietra and Marina were extremely helpful. The penthouse accommodated all 7 of us in separate beds. We enjoyed purchasing food and eating on the terrace with the awesome views.Great location for public transportation and just a few blocks from the Colosseum. Between the penthouse and Pietra and Marina, no wonder why this place is always booked.

It has been a few days since returning from this lovely apartment and we find ourselves missing it terribly; especially its owners. Marina and Pietro are two of the most wonderful, caring, generous people we have ever met. I was already crazy about them just during the scheduling process. Meeting them was a real treat. They are there to greet you at arrival, complete with beverage and snack. Pietro's knowledge and passion for his city is undeniable. BOOK A TOUR WITH HIM! It is not a "look to the right you see this, look to the left you see that" kind of tour. He languishes over each location, giving a lively history lesson, personal stories, and funny annecdotes. And Marina is the eternal mother, making you feel so welcome with her kind smile and contagious laugh. Our time with them was truly the highlight of our trip, and I was moved to tears when we left them.....like leaving a good friend you know you will not see again for a very long time. The photos of the apartment do not do it justice. It is incredibly spacious, the copper tub gorgeous, the spiral staircase romantic, European queen bed in master is larger than American queen. It is homey and inviting and impeccably clean. Filled with beautiful personal art that I could not believe they keep in their rental! Imagine what the art looks like in their own home! The fact that they share these pieces with their renters is a testament to how wonderful they are. And then there is the terrace; what a gem! It was the first place I went when I woke, where we spent our evenings, and where I found myself one last time each night before going to sleep. It is huge! 'L" shaped, wrapping the corner of the building. We were just two people sitting at an outdoor table built for at least 6 or 8! Their beautiful plants and flowers (that have been obviously carefully tended to) made it feel like a little piece of paradise in the city. Then there is the view. The abbey to the left as well as a garden below. Another garden ahead of you, down below. Ahh, and then the Colesseo, St Peter's and the enormous V.E. right there in all their glory! Morning sun makes them glow, sunset is their backlight, and nighttime is when they twinkle. Pietro and Marina and their apartment will be some of the most lasting memories of our trip. It was home and they were family.... if only for seven days. And I cannot imagine a more amazing seven days.
