Just totally renewed!! Exclusive, perfect apartment in the heart of Rome

just renewed, elegant apartment in the heart of Rome just a stones throw away from the Coliseum, Roman Forum, Mouth of Truth, and all the major important historical sites.
The property is within walking distance to Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Campo dei Fiori and across the Tiber river to enchanting Trastevere, famous for its narrow streets and cozy restaurants.

The location simply could not be better as the area is one of the most famous and picturesque of the historical center, surrounded by archaeological sites, artisan and antique shops, theatres, traditional bakeries, colourfull markets, designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, typical Italian cafes and wine bars where you can flip away your tiredness over a good glass of wine.
Only a couple of blocks away, there is a colorful, large open market and every morning can be found fine food, fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, wine, cheese and wonderful bread.

The apartment has been newly renovated to offer elegance, comfort and convenience to the most desirable attractions of the city center.

The property is on the first floor of a 19th century historic building. After a day's sightseeing in the noise of a busy city, this is a great place to come home to. Walking through the main doors (off the street) into a lush garden full of trees and flowers, is such a pleasant surprise. Coming back here, in this oasis sheltered from the hustle and bustle, at the end of a long day gives you an instant sense of peace. The quiet found inside is unusual for this lively section of Rome. During the day, a security guard is present by the front gate. In addition to the gate (locked after dark), there are locked doors for both the complex and the apartment.

Fully renewed, it is tastefully furnished with fine modern fittings and the same remarkable equipment. Elegantly appointed with artistic and decorative features as beautiful pictures and mirrors, exclusive tapestries, cozy sofas, modern sliding doors, lamps, large wooden walk-in wardrobe.

The apartment has a very warm atmosphere. It has an entrance that leads to a bright living-room, a dining area with american kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The sofa is a comfortable sofa-bed (King size, excellent quality), there is also a single bed. The kitchen has all modern fittings and it is fully equipped with all necessary cooking supplies.
The apartment has every comforts: air conditioned, autonomous heating, Satellite TV, flatscreen SMART TV, FREE WIFI internet, washing machine, telephone, safety box, radio, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, Bed linen and blankets, bath towels and table linen provided.

Just a few meters from the property you'll find the famous mediaeval basilica church Santa Maria in Cosmedin (or de Schola Graeca). The church was built in the 6th century over the remains of the Templum Herculis Pompeiani in the Forum Boarium and Its bell tower is the tallest medieval belfry in Rome. In the porch of this mediaeval Church, on the south side, there is one of Rome's symbols, the so-called 'Bocca della Verita' Mouth of Truth that draws many visitors: this is a large round stone, with a grotesque face in relief with holes through the eyes and the nose, and a larger opening for the mouth.
While in Rome you may like to re-enact the scene in the film Roman Holiday and put your hand over the Bocca della Verità or Mouth of Truth which hangs in the portico of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.If a jealous lover wanted to test their partner’s fidelity, they would put their hand in the mouth of the stone river god - it was thought that a liar would have his hand bitten off but the faithful lover would go untouched.

And this 'test' is still a must for all tourists and the queue of visitors stretched right down the street, for to have their photo taken with their hand in the mouth of the statue.

It’s a fun thing to do though and everyone seemed to emerge with their arm intact - why not give it a try?

Great location but......

Nice apartment, perfectly located, within walking distance of many attractions. Across the street from Tastevere and 10-15 minutes walk to metro. With three nights left to our stay we found bugs in the bed and got bitten. Had to take a hotel room plus the other expenses. Manager came , could not or would not help. Got in touch with the owner the day after, she would not refund the 3 remaining nights. Filed a complaint to Home Away customer service without result

Pleasant stay during late November

Nice neighborhood stay. Major attractions about 1 mile away and we were able to walk to most. There's a bakery nearby and excellent pizza as well as several small groceries and cafes. The apartment is comfortable and includes some books as well as 2 TVs.

Lovely appartment in a terrific neighborhood.

The appartment was exactly as advertised. It was very comfortable and well equipped. We loved the location. It was great staying in a real neighborhood. Lots of good restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Bus stop offering many bus options just 2 minutes away. I would definitely go back there and reccomend it. Thank you Vera.

Très tranquille

L’appartement est situé dans un complexe très tranquille, au fond d’une cour arborée. Fonctionnel et agréable. Le quartier est sympathique et offre tous les services de proximité. Nous avons apprécié l’autobus juste à côté et le métro pas trop loin, quoique le centre historique est accessible à pieds .

Could Have Been Better...

Pros: - Vera, the host, communicated well, was gracious and flexible when our flight was delayed by over 2 hours - Close to bus lines that take you directly to the major sights in Rome (no transfers necessary) - Excellent near-by restaurants - Quiet building with a family orientation Cons: - Apartment has seen better days - pictures online make it seem bright and shiny, but it is far from that - Apartment floor was so dirty, we were leaving muddy footprints in the shower the first night. Had to clean the floor by hand just to make do (no mop in the apartment). - Neighborhood is a bit gritty - lots of graffiti and trash on the streets. We felt unsafe at first, but realized over time this is just a working class immigrant neighborhood that has seen better days. - The "dryer" listed in the amenities is a drying rack, not a clothes dryer as we expected - Apartment's "operating guide" did not include instructions on how to operate the AC units - they dripped water all down the walls, the floor, and the dining table We would not consider returning to this property.

Lovely apartment with nice courtyard.

Had a great stay. More than everything we needed was there and Vera was kind and helpful. My only complaint is that the rental is not within the area circle that is listed on the map. It's about a mile walk from the landscapes you probably came to see.

Séjour de 5 jours à Rome en famille

L’appartement est situé à proximité de l’arrêt Emporio au rez-de-chaussée d’une résidence. Il donne sur une cour intérieure (donc très calme). Il est très propre et fonctionnel (merci au climatiseur :-) ).

Great apartment in the heart of Rome

The property manager was communicative and helpful. She suggested travel and digital app methodologies that would make our visit more successful. She had a book of all sorts of information that would help us make decisions during our stay. The apartment was spacious and had all the amenities listed. It was located (by walking) 2 minutes from major bus/tram lines, 10 minutes from the metro, and 20 minutes from the Coliseum, Forum, and Circus Maximus. In 2019, it was about 12 Euro from the main train station by taxi. It was a 2 minute walk to the Tiber River. There was a great bread/pastry store next door, and after 7, a wonderful restaurant next door for easy access to food. There was a supermarket and a pharmacy about 7 minutes away. From here, I took public transport to Campo d' Fiori, Palazzo Farnese, Piazza Navono, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Coliseum, Forum, Circus Maximus, Vatican Museum, St. Peters Basilica and Sistine Chapel, Borghese Collection. Great people, great location, great space.

Review of 169 Marmorata- Testaccio, Centro Storico

We had a really good experience with our appartement. The owner Vera was very helpful and check in was very easy and smooth. The apartment is very centrally located within walking distance of restaurants, grocery store and a lovely local market. The tram and bus are across the street to take one to places like the Coliseum, the Pantheon or any major attraction. I really appreciated that Vera had supplied a fresh package of coffee, yoghurt and juice. That was a very nice touch. We used the washing machine a few times and it was excellent and Vera supplied detergent. Another thing that I loved about this apartment was the beautiful courtyard - a little oasis of calm. We loved opening the windows and looking out at the flowers in full bloom.

A lovely spacious apartment

This ground floor apartment is off a central courtyard of an apartment block so is really quiet. It's well laid out and tastefully decorated. The bed, while large, is not a full American King. The kitchen is well equipped. We were met on arrival and the owner successfully arranged a car for our departure to the airport. The advertising is a tad deceptive. It is about a half hour walk or fifteen minute bus to any of the tourist sites one might be considering in central Rome. That said, this Testaccio area to the south of the center is an interesting place to be based and we would come back just to explore the area more fully. There is great coffee right next door and a nearby (nine minute walk) daily market offers all kinds of food products - fish, meat, cheese, wine, etc.etc. in dozens of stalls. There are nightclubs and well-recommended restaurants nearby also.

Perfect spot for two

We stayed for five nights in late September. While a bit smaller than as it appears in the pictures, the apartment was perfectly adequate and quiet. The location is superb. The trattoria next door is always jammed but the usual good Roman restaurant. The caffe at the end of the street is perfect for the morning. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here on a future trip. Btw anyone needing a hotel near the airport, I highly recommend hotel tiber.

So nice, clean and comfortable!

This is the perfect home to stay in while in Rome. The pictures do not do it justice. It is nice and roomy and sparkling clean. You can tell the owner takes pride in the home. The queen bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is a good size and the shower has great water pressure. Vera was great at communicating with us and very accommodating when we arrived early. She has a detailed book for everything you need to know in regards to house as well as great information about the surrounding area. The Neighborhood is packed with good restaurants to choose from and you can walk to all. Very family friendly neighborhood. It is a approximately a 20 minute walk to the colosseum. Very scenic. We will return and look forward to staying here again

Every amenity and comfort is well thought out and we make sure that the apartment is clean and in excellent condition at all times. I take pride in meeting the needs of my traveling friends while helping to make their stay in Rome a memorable one. It is important to me to put the needs and comfort of my guests first and I am honored to say that this is gratefully reflected back to me through referrals and returning guests. My apartment is truly a 'home away from home'.
