Apt with private Garden and Spa Few Minutes from the Center Free Night City Tour

My friend and I rented this property from Nov. 20-28. It's a beautiful property; quite large for Rome's standards, but that's because it's out of the city center. To get into the city center, you need to walk 12-15 minutes to the bus stop, take the bus to the tram, take the tram to the end of the line...all-in-all, about 45 mins to an hour.

The owner's mother, Maria Teresa, greeted us upon arrival. She showed us around the apartment and then showed us around the neighborhood (where to buy coffee, groceries, a restaurant or two, where to get the bus, etc) It was extremely helpful. On another night, she picked us up and drove us around the main attractions in Rome ( like the Vatican, the Coliseum, Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, etc.) It was beautiful to see at night. We ended up eating supper in the neighborhood three times. The first time was our first night and we ate at the nearest place, which, while tasty, I would only recommend if you don't mind spending 40 euros per person on a plate of pasta, a small salad and a glass of wine. After that, we did our own research and found a couple of other nearby places that were equally tasty and much more reasonable.

Unfortunately for us, by the time we got home after a long day of sight-seeing, we were too tired to try out the hot tub, but the Netflix was very much appreciated.

If I have anything negative at all to say about this location it is that it is quite noisy. I live in a big city myself (Montreal), so I'm not unused to noise, but the apartment, while having no neighbors in the same building except for an orthodontist, sits atop several businesses (coffee shop, butcher...) and these businesses have large metal doors that close down late at not (think extra noisy garage door) and go up in the morning at 6:30! Not good!! Even my friend, who is a deep sleeper, was woken up every morning by this noise. ( Also, a couple of times, we would hear this noise overnight...did someone forget something at work???) And, while the apartment looks to be on a dead end kinda street, it's a major busy street in the mornings. Lots of honking!

To summarize, I cannot say enough nice things about the hosts and the apartment is lovely. Would I stay there again? No, due to noise and location.

The place was fantastic and Maria was an amazing host. Truly above and beyond in every way. The night tour was incredible. The apartment is clean, in a comfortable area, convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. Getting into and back from central Rome was a breeze. Maria was always available for any questions we had, and we loved her. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

We spent 5 days in Guiseppe's flat. It is a spacious, well designed flat, perfect for the 3 of us. We loved the night tour, the jacuzzi and my son especially loved the Netflix! We enjoyed living away from the hustle and bustle of the city but it was just a little too far away for us. We found the journey back after a long day sightseeing a bit too long at 45mins - 1 hour. Don't let that put you off, however, as the benefits out way the tiny negative. Lovely coffee just round the corner for 1.5 Euros rather than 6 Euros in the city! Thanks also to Guiseppe's Mother for the lift to the train station.

Giuseppe was an awesome host. We have been to Rome before but had never seen some of the places he took us to on our night tour. He gave great restaurant suggestions. The bakery around the block made the best croissants. He even had his mom pick us up and drive us to the Vatican because there was a transportation workers strike. All the extra touches really made our stay wonderful

This is an amazing place to say and Giuseppe is an amazing host.

The beds were comfortable and the apartment had everything we could need.

The night tour that Giuseppe took us on was awesome, we managed to see a lot of the more beautiful highlights of Rome and he answered questions and provided a lot of good information about the area.

As stated in the description this is a pretty much private unit with a garden and hot tub outside which were very relaxing to use after a long day of being a tourist and walking all over Rome.

I would definitely stay here again.
