My wife & I spent three wonderful weeks at this apartment. It was exactly as described, the owner and her staff were all so helpful. You couldn't ask for a more convient place to stay in Rome. The Metro stop and the market were within walking distance. The yard and garden were great thanks to the fantastic weather. We used it every day, in the morning for our coffee and in the evening for our glass of wine. Not only would I recommend this to someone else but we are planning a return trip to Rome and hope we are lucky enought to stay there again. Thank you for making our Roman holiday so wonderful John & Marianne Philadelphia PA

.My wife and I just spent 3 weeks in Mary's home Sept 15th to Oct 7th. We felt at home from the minute we walked into the private garden. The weather was perfect so we got to use the garden every day for our morning coffee and evening wine and snacks. The location was perfect, the markets and metro stop were so convenient. The description of the apartment was accurate, plenty of room. The property was well maintained and clean. I would not only recommend this apartment to a friend but we are considering returning to Rome and this is where we want to stay. Thank you Mary, Mr Gianni, Pietro and Marta. John V

"We stayed for 10 days at this apartment and had a great experience. Everything was delivered as promised. The owner was very gracious and helpful and full of good suggestions. Any arrangements that she made on our behalf (transport to and from the airport, etc) were executed flawlessly - on time and at the quoted price. She was consistently available and responsive whenever we needed her. When there was a question (from either the US or Rome), she responded within the hour. We had everything in the apartment that we needed from day one (coffee, milk, salt, pepper, toilet paper, paper towels, etc). There was also a helpful guide to the immediate area (market, restauants, guide books) on the book shelf. The rooms were exactly as promised, and they were clean and neat when we arrived. Everything was in working order. There were sufficent linens and cooking utensils to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. The weather did not allow us to enjoy the garden but it looked perfect had the weather been warmer. There was a locked gate to the street, and another to the garden so we felt very secure (although the neighborhood seemed so safe, I thought the gates were not necessary). We had originally wanted an apartment closer to Piazza Navona/Campe Fiore - but happened into this one, which turned out to be a far superior location because of its proximity to the Vatican, the market, and the Metro. We walked to the Trionfale Market every day as it gave us such a great local experience. We also "ate in" several times while still enjoying real Roman cooking, by purchasing food at the market and enjoying it hot and fresh at the apartment (which was a huge cost savings). We used the metro extensively as it was fast, clean and easy. I would heartily recommend this rental to anyone looking at an extended stay in Rome."

A charming appartment with a lovely garden, close to everything. Couldn´t have stayed at a better location in Roma! Photos of property describes very well. Clean, with enough hot water, there is everything you need. We didn´t spend much time in the appartment though, as we was walking around in city 14-15 hours / day :-) We arrived at Fiumicino and was picked up with a large, nice van that Mary booked for us, very nice driver too. Mary speaks very good english, so did the driver. We will definitely recommed this appartment/owner and if we get back to Roma, we´d like to stay here again. Mary, thank you so much! No one of us wanted to leave Roma. Grazie ed arrivederla! //Lotta

Owner response:Thank you Lotta!! I was happy to host delicious persons like you! I love to host and not just to rent. I hope you'll return soon in my house!

Our host was helpful and went out of her way to make sure our time in Rome was the best it could be. She is a true "host" and it made our trip so memorable. She started out of visit making sure we had coffee and breakfast for our first morning (thank you!!) and pointed out where the grocery store, post office, bank, etc was....all within a block of the apartment!! The neighborhood is full of wonderful places to eat, have coffee, the best gelato in all of Rome (Millennium near the Cipro station!), and shopping. The Cipro station is a two minute walk, and the Vatican is in your backyard! When we go back to Rome we will stay here again. She arranged for transportation to and from the airport, with no hassles at all. The apartment is full of guide books, maps, and ideas of how to make the most of your trip! We felt safe at all times in the apartment, and were very comfortable! Wonderful place to stay---Cipro station is on the main line for the metro, and you call walk everywhere! Grazie!!

Owner response:Thank you!! I am happy you felt at home! I love to host and not just rent! See you next time!!!

Very comfortable place to stay. Clean. Good facilities (including tonnes of kitchen utensils). Literally a hop away from the metro. Having a garden for al fresco meals was the icing on the cake. We want to come back to Rome some day (have tossed a coin in the Trevi fountain...), so hope to see you again. Ciao and grazie, Mary.

Owner response:When I met you I thought: what a delicious person! In fact it was true! Perfect hosts you and your friends, house was perfect when they left. I wait for you next time!!!
