Loved our visit to Rome

Our host was amazing, friendly, and helpful. The location is fantastic. The neighborhood has great restaurants and you can quickly walk to many destinations like the Coliseum which is just two blocks away. We loved the apartment. The bed was super comfortable and the couch folded out into a bed for our son. It was warm during our stay but the two A/C units kept us very comfortable. I can highly recommend this apartment and host.

Wonderful host; great neighborhood location

This was a great location for seeing the standard sights in Rome. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to, and had a taxi stand nearby when we wanted to drive. The neighborhood felt so safe and there were several places nearby for an easy dinner and drinks. The apartment was perfect for our stay. Loved having the separate room with a TV that could be closed off from the bedroom. Elena was a great host and was easily accessible when we needed her. Would highly recommend this location.

We couldn't have been happier with our experience. Communication was great from start to finish. The flat is comfortable, and what can beat a 2 block walk to the Coliseum? There are many restaurants and coffee bars in the area, and a nearby store for staples. The flat is very quiet. Oh, and there's a 'personal' elevator. Great place, don't hesitate.

Before we even arrived in Rome, Elena contacted us and made sure we had everything we needed. When we finally met her, she made us feel like we were home. The apartment was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable. There was a sitting room, a kitchen, and a large bedroom. The area it’s located in is quiet, but also centrally to many attractions either by foot or taxi. We look forward to staying there again.

Loved our Stay!

Highly recommend this charming and comfortable flat. The building is more beautiful than the photos allow. Elena is such a welcoming and attentive host and we had a fun and easy time staying there as a family of four, with two young children. Staying so close to the Colosseum was pretty amazing to have it as the back drop of our daily walks, especially lit up at night. The beds are very comfortable, including the sofa-bed. Elena gave great tips on where to eat in Rome and the Celio neighborhood. The neighborhood is very lively, but the flat is far enough away from the noise to make for a somewhat peaceful stay in the city.

Dream holiday

Elena and her family were the most lovely hosts. Our accommodations became the absolute highlight of our trip - what an incredible value for such a great flat. The history of the flat is interesting and heart warming and the family does a great job of conveying this to guests. It is spacious, very comfortable and beautiful. The flat’s vicinity to Rome’s most prestigious attractions was just the cherry on top. There’s a cafe right across the street with delicious coffee and breakfast that is so cheap. We went every morning! We can’t wait to visit again and stay here soon!
