Live like a real Roman

Two couples stayed here before embarking on a cruise. A lovely neighborhood, great restaurants, fresh market, grocery store all within walking distance. We have been to Rome several times and wanted to get away from the crowds, but at the same time have the best of Rome at our fingertips. It was a clean apartment no luxury but comfortable. The owners were most helpful when one couple lost their luggage. Very friendly neighborhood would go back.

A great clean apartment to stay in. I would stay here again.

I never saw the property owners do to some medical situations but different friends/neighbors of theirs were present to help me get situated and checked in. The apartment was very nice, clean, and a comfortable place to stay. Being located just outside of the downtown area we were able to walk to parks and interact with the locals on a more personnel level. Because we could walk to three different grocery stores from the apartment we were able to feed a group of 8 for around 15 euro’s a meal (far better than the 15 euro per person at most of the restaurants in Rome). There were several bus stops within a block or two that would take you anywhere you wanted to go. We walked to every major site in Rome minus the Vatican from our apartment (the furthest one away was the Spanish Steps and that was about 1 to 2 miles walk each way). I would recommend this apartment to my friends and I would stay here again if in Rome.

We had a fabulous 4 days in this apartment. Eleonora was filling in for Maurizio and everything was in great shape - Great location, clean, well furnished, the quietest air conditioning ever. The location is the best- not touristy, but everything you need. Around the corner from the best pizza I've ever had (Remo's), plus the market for veggies and more. Nice to have an elevator! On the last morning we were there I closed the door behind me and realized I had left my backpack, with a taxi waiting outside - called Eleonora and she was at the apartment within 5 minutes to let me back in. Really accommodating! Would def stay there again if I return to Rome on vacation.

We enjoyed over two plus weeks in May, 2011 at this comfortable, bright apartment in Testaccio. It was our second extended stay. We highly recommend it for people who don't want to be in the middle of the tourist areas, but close by (an easy walk down the Tiber to Piazza Venezia, the Forum, and other sites and the buses could not be more convenient) and in a very typical Roman neighborhood with a lively local market and some great restaurants. We highly recommend this apartment.
Recommended for:Sightseeing.

This beautiful apartment in Testaccio was absolutely perfect for us. We were two couples interested in exploring all the sights of Rome and we were not disappointed in any way. The apartment is large, very clean and beautifully furnished. The ensuite bathrooms were spotless with wonderful showers. Everything you need is furnished. We loved the outdoor market and the little park. Many cafes and very good restaurants are within easy walking distance, and bus transportation is only a short walk away. If you enjoy walking, most of the sights are within walking distance. Our host arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport and met us at the apartment to give us an orientation to the apartment and the city. Maurizio gave us a map and many recommendations for walking tours and restaurants. We found the lovely people of Testaccio to be very warm and welcoming and highly recommend this apartment as the perfect base for your visit to Rome.

Four adults stayed very comfortably for 5 nights in this lovely apartment. If you like to vacation like a local, this is the place to be. Very close to transportation, popular sites and an authentic market just 2 blocks away. The apartment was very clean and Maurizio couldn't have been more helpful. Neighborhood restaurants, and gelato were some of the best from our 2 week visit to Italy. Grab some fresh bread, buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and lettuce for a great picnic snack before you set out for the day-delicious! Testacchio is a very nice part of Rome, we all felt very safe even at night.

Our family enjoyed a great visit to Rome and stayed in this comfortable apartment. Our 3 girls stayed in one room and the Master was perfect for us. The description was accurate. Kitchen was great to cook breakfast and then hit the road to sight see. AC was a must if in Rome during the summer. A great thing to be able to come back and turn on after a long hot day sightseeing. I was able to do laundry, which was helpful. Supermarket and park around the corner which was convenient and very good quality. Many great little restaurants within a couple of blocks of the house. We loved all of them. Maurizio was very helpful with directions and I would hightly recommend letting him set up pick up and departure for you from the airport to the apartment. This was very convenient and removed a big headache with a family of 5 and luggage. We used a tour guide, Pietro, that Maurizio recommended and he was great. We spent two days with him and he was so knowledgeable, personable, and bonded very well with my children. He has a degree from MIT and has moved back to Rome. An interesting and kind man. Would highly recommend one day to get the highlights of Rome at least from him. We toured with him in a van, which was great with our girls. He told the girls, 13, 11, 11. many great facts about Rome and things that they were intrigued by. I would definitely recommend this property for a family or couple. Pizzeria San Remo and Trattoria Scolopini were great! Our kids loved sitting in the park while eating gelato. We all loved the Gelatto. Highly recommend Piazza Novena and walking Via Condotti to the Spanish Steps and then walking over to Trevi Fountain. Good street shopping on the streets walking to Trevi Fountain. We ended our trip with the Time Traveler. It was a great overview of some important things for kids to remember. The Vatican Museums are unbelievable. Every church you walk into is more beautiful than the one before. Take lots of pictures. We, of course, loved the coliseum and the Pyramid in Testaccio. We were in Rome for 8 days and still had more we could have done, but we really saw alot of Rome. We saw Bomarzo and Viterrbo with Pietro and that was very interesting. We loved Rome and would definitely go back to Italy! The Internet worked great at the house and we brought our DVD player and hooked it up to the TV for the kids to watch their movies when we were at the apartment. This all worked well.

Ideal Neighborhood Location

My wife and I rented the apartment for 6 weeks. During 4 of those weeks, our son, his wife, and their daughter joined us. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and completely adequate for that number of people. It is also furnished very charmingly, with many nice touches. The owner, Maurizio, was very solicitous and helpful. For longer term visitors, location is very important. We have been to Rome several times in the past, but this was our first stay in Testaccio. We found this location to be ideal. Neighborhood markets, shops, and restaurants were within a few blocks of the apartment, so the requirements of everyday living were easy to handle. Furthermore, this area is very close to the center of Rome, and half a dozen different bus lines pass within two blocks of the apartment. We found it possible to reach most parts of Rome with no more than a 15 minute bus ride. We would recommend this apartment to any Rome visitor, and we hope to return to it again ourselves.

Spent 4 nights two weeks ago. We as four adults found this apartment fabulous. The owner ,Maurizio, was full of info, especially as regards transport from the airport. Let him book your departure taxi to the airport if required as this makes it oh so easy. The area is central to everything whilst having a somewhat village atmosphere. There is everything close that you require. I would recommend this property to anyone. In this old city of tall buildings, the lift was a blessing. It was a great choice.

My wife and I and graduate student son spent a week in this lovely apartment. It has lots of room, 2 bathrooms, which is a real plus, and a kitchen where we prepared several meals. We loved the location; you can walk nearly everywhere. Maurizio sat down with us a check in and annotated a tourist map. We followed nearly every one of his suggestions and were very happy we did. We felt like locals. Even the restaurant down the street that he recommended treated us like termporary locals. Everyone made us feel so welcome. The best part about the apartment is Maurizio. He cares about his city and will help you find its soul. When there was a glitch in getting to the airport for departure, he stepped in and made it happen! Really, it was service above and beyond. We really liked the area, too. It is a real Roman neighborhood, so you can go visit the tourist areas. Maurizio will tell you which buses return to Testaccio, so you can get lost. We would definitely stay here again --there's so much to see and do.
