  The apartment met and exceeded my expectations. The owner was able to greet us even though our arrival was later then the stated check-in time. He showed us around the apartment and explained how things worked. He had also left a bottle of wine and a few basics in the kitchen so we could get going in the morning. The apartment is located in a really wonderful neighborhood. There were many places to eat and to buy food to cook. We were able to walk to many of the places of interest in the city. I hope to be able to return to this apartment on my next visit to Rome. Mary Hurley

  Owner response: Mary, Thank you for writing about your experiences in your second Commendable Rentals apartment. We are glad that you enjoyed this one , too. Trastever is a wonderful location to experience both the treasures of the historic center, by foot, and to live in an real Roman neighborhood. Come back soon, Susan

  We had a simply fantastic time in the apartment. It was very well situated, nicely decorated and very clean and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. We loved Trastevere which is much quieter than the historic centre (hardly any traffic), but comes alive at night with people visiting the many restaurants. Commendable rentals were a pleasure to deal with for all the arrangements, and sorted out a taxi for the five of us beforehand from Ciampino. Alessandro met us at the apartment and made us feel most welcome. We ate at Il Duca restaurant beneath the apartment - a really nice meal - and went out for gelato from the shop opposite on many evenings. The jacuzzi bath was wonderful for relaxing in after a long day site-seeing. Rome is a great destination - we visited all the major sites we could fit in, and really enjoyed a train trip to Ostia Antica which is just amazing. We walked everywhere, including as far as the Borghese gallery. We found the near-ish Conad supermarket really good value and with a brilliant range of pretty much everything food-wise we could wish for. We were lucky with our trip to the Vatican museums, booking for 9am on Wednesday morning, when the focus was on St Peter's square for the pope's Wednesday audience (the galleries were a bit quieter and we went straight in (no queuing) with our pre-booked reservation - booked on the Vatican museum's website beforehand). The Capitoline museum we also found first rate - not crowded, and stuffed full of the most amazing artifacts plus a brilliant view over the Forum. It took us a little while to get used to crossing the roads - busy or what?! but what a destination - both the apartment and Rome itself exceeded all expectations.

  Owner response: What a lovely letter to receive. We are so delighted that you enjoyed Rome and the apartment as much as we do ( how could you not!) Thank you for all the additional information. I am sure that future guests will appreciate it. Best wishes and do come back.

  We had a great stay in this apartment in Trestevere! We began our apartment search relatively late not realizing September was a popular time for travel to Italy and we found a lot of apartments were booked. The apartment met our needs perfectly and we really liked the neighborhood, which a lot of travel guidebooks don't describe well. Trestevere has a lot of restaurants that are popular in the evenings, and it did get a little loud later in the week but we still were very happy with the location and were glad we were not in the more crowded areas like near the Spanish Steps or the Trevi Fountain areas, which are literally packed with tourists. We liked the more local feel of the Trestevere neighborhood (although we saw plenty of other tourists too), proximity to restaurants and grocery stores, and the smaller crowds. We also walked all over Rome from the apartment, but as we got a little tired later in our stay, started to figure out how to use the bus and tram, which both have stops near the apartment. Additionally, the apartment had great amenities and was well stocked with supplies like dish and laundry soap. The apartment was very nice, and we enjoyed the space, but the combined clothes washer/dryer was a true godsend!!!! We used the kitchen primarily for breakfasts but did have a few evening meals in the apartment. It is stocked with all the essentials. The internet access was fast, reliable, and password-protected...important since my husband had to do some work during our trip. This was our first experience renting an apartment and I think we are hooked. It was a much more comfortable experience than staying in a hotel, and was much more cost effective than paying for two hotel rooms. I do also appreciate the quick responses from you and Susan to questions, and on check in, Alessandro, one of the owners, was also very helpful. We highly recommend this apartment!!!!

  The apartment is nothing but perfect! It is bright, sunny, with a clean decor, walking distance to all "must see places" in the city, with a grocery store at your door steep and great restaurants around. Both showers are wonderful, fridge is huge and dishing washing is perfect. We would rent it again for sure!

  Owner response: Thank you so much! We are soo glad that we met your expectations. We look forward to your return.

  This apartment was absolutely perfect! It had modern day conveniences set inside a trendy, yet old Rome style neighborhood. The street is very hip with lots of action at night, so it was wonderful stepping out of the apartment to restaurants, musicians, and many passerby's. Centrally located, you can take the tram 8 or buses to the sights - very convenient! The air conditioning, the jacuzzi tub and the washer/dryer combo were all a hit! The space is big which gave us time to relax. The arrival was very easy too. Alex met us, showed us around, gave us specific instructions/how to's and left us with different maps/guides of Rome. I would definitely recommend this apartment to families, girls getaway or a college reunion. Thank you again for such an easy, wonderful, and enjoyable stay.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

  Owner response: We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your time in Rome and at our apartment. Thank you for writing and come back soon.

  We had a wonderful holiday in Rome and the apartment in Trastevere was a pleasant surprise. The location was perfect, it was very modern and clean, and we would definitely request it again and recommend it to others. We regretted not having more time to actually enjoy the apartment itself!

  We had a wonderful stay at the apartment. The location was ideal; we walked everywhere. The air-conditioning was especially appreciated because we were there in August. It was very hot outside, but inside the apartment was cool and quiet. The sleeping areas were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, all of the apartment was exceptionally clean. We used the washing machine and dish washer every day. It was also very convenient to have wi-fi internet access. We ate at the restaurant on the ground floor, which was lovely, and also had lots and lots of gelato from the shop across the street. We were very grateful to the owner, who came to find us on the morning we arrived, after we got lost on our way to the apartment. I would stay in this apartment again!

We were very grateful to the owner, Alesandro, who came out to find us on the morning we arrived after we got lost on our way to the apartment. He had a nice bottle of wine and some water awaiting us."

  Die Wohnung war nett, bestens eingerichtet und sauber. Wir wurden vom Vermieter sehr freundlich empfangen, auch gab es eine Flasche guten Weines als Willkommensgeschenk. Was wir schätzten, war die Internet-Verbindung. Alles funktionierte! Man konnte von der Wohnung aus alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuss erreichen. Als grossen und störenden Nachteil empfanden wir die fehlende Ruhe in der Nacht. Obwohl in der Fussgängerzone liegend, war bis um morgens um 03.00 Uhr oder am Samstag noch später, Betrieb, d.h. die Restaurants und Geschäfte hatten jeden Tag bzw. Nacht offen und die Leute flanierten zu Hunderten direkt unter den Fenstern. Selbst mit geschlossenen Fenstern konnten wir nicht schlafen! Wenn die Wohnung ruhig gelegen wäre, bekäme sie 5 Sterne!

  Owner response: Wir freuen uns, dass Sie Rom genossen, aber es tut mir leid, dass Sie es laut gefunden. Ich fürchte, dass es ein ungewöhnliches Wochenende mit einem großen Fußballspiel war. Aber die Fenster sind alle doppelt verglast, so sind wir überrascht, dass Sie Cound nicht blockieren den Lärm. Außerdem gibt es Klimaanlage im Sommer.
