About this property
Elegant and spacious, well-furnished apartment with 3 terraces, WiFi-free
Elegant, quiet and very spacious apartment, with large living room well furnished with partially antique furniture and paintings, enriched by a veranda with beautiful view, two bedrooms with two luxurious bathrooms, complete with toilet, sink, bidet, shower, terrace with table and chairs. Each room overlooks a balcony, including the kitchen, habitable. The finishes are valuable. TV and free extra-fast Wi-Fi; air conditionig -heat pump in the dining room and air conditioning in the second bedroom. For more than four-five persons we can open a rhird bathroom, with shower and bathtube. There is a foam fire extinguisher and a gas detector in the kitchen. The apartment is located on the hill Gianicolo, between Trastevere and Vatican city, reachable on foot or by a short bus ride (44, 75, 870 and others), urban train FL3, taxi (big station less than 150 meters), in the elegant district called Monte Verde Vecchio. Excellent big supermarket and shops in the same street, another supermarket open until 10 pm, outdoor market in the parallel street. Elegant bars and patisseries, excellent restaurants and takeaways close by (50-200 meters). Three historical parks are the pride of the neighborhood: the Gianicolo Park, through which you can reach the Vatican with a walk from the wonderful view of Rome; villa Sciarra, which was donated to Mussolini who gave it to the Roman people, villa Pamphili, summer residence of the Popes from the 16th century. The Gianicolo is famous for its large 360-degree terrace on Rome with the monument to Garibaldi and his wife Anita and the busts of his soldiers (Garibaldi) and the war memorial in the defense of the Roman republic. Always on the Janiculum, the famous "fontanone" overlooks the city, and immediately after the church of San Pietro in Montorio, with the marvelous little temple of Bramante, the Spanish Academy with its exibitions and the American Academy. An the ancient staircase from there leads to Trastevere. The Gianicolensi Walls surround the Gianicolo hill and, at Porta San Pancrazio, in the four-sided arch, is housed the Garibaldi Museum, in memory of the Hero who fought for the defense of the Roman Republic in 1849. The villa called "Il Vascello" because of its shape, has been left almost completely destroyed with the signs of the cannonades of the French by General Oudinot. From the Arch of the Janiculum, in Piazzale Aurelio, starts the Via Aurelia Antica, and a little further on is the early Christian Basilica of San Pancrazio (fifth century after Christ), with the catacombs not yet fully explored. In one part of the district the streets have maintained the Latin names (via Aurelia, via Vitellia, via Fonteiana, piazza Ottavilla, via del clivo Rutario). You will be at the heart of history. Check everything on internet maps and don't hesitate to ask me anything. I live at the same house number, in the building next to yours.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The apartment is absolutely beautiful - and has an Italian soul, with beautiful furniture and decor. The location is excellent for local eateries (we recommend Golino's and Tutto Qua) and convenient shops, and easy access to Trastevere and beyond. Maurizio is a very kind and generous host - his tour of the locale was a great way to get an overview of the area plus very useful information on being a tourist in Rome. Staying in this apartment was one of the pleasures of being in Rome.

Family Trip to Rome
We can’t say enough great things about this property! Maurizio is an outstanding host and his home is wonderful. Away from the hustle and bustle of central Rome but easy access to all the sights by bus and foot. A lovely neighbourhood where you can head to the local bar for an espresso and cornetto in the morning, and local market for some fresh produce, and truly feel like a Roman! And the apartment is massive - we travelled with our three sons (young adult and teenagers) and each had their own bed - plus room to spare. And Maurizio thinks of everything - coffee, laundry and dishwashing detergent, plush towels, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, lovely balconies all around, and a beautiful piano and artwork throughout. Of travelling with a family I highly recommend this lovely home. Grazie tanto Maurizio!

We Wouldn't Wish For More!
This is a large, beautiful apartment in quiet Monteverde Vecchio, uncrowded by tourists, yet only a short walk to the nightlife of Trastevere and the foodie spots of Testaccio. The patisserie across the street was a lively and elegant spot for a cappuccino and cornetto, and several restuarants within a 5 minute walk were top notch.The apartment itself has everything you might need. Both bedrooms have large, comfortable beds. The living space has an old world feel with its 17th century paintings, a piano, and beautiful decorations along with a extensive and fascinating library. The sunroom is marvelous on a cool morning and the terrace was perfect for a glass of wine in the evenings!Perhaps best of all was Maurizio, our accomodating and friendly host. Maurizio grew up in this apartment, and retired from his career as a physician nearby, so he knows and loves the neighborhood. He took us in his car on a tour of the area, with interesting insights into the historical spots on the Janiculum Hill as well as the best places to shop and dine. Thankyou, Maurizio for hosting us for this wonderful stay!

I really enjoyed the area! I would walk down to the pantheon which took about one hour and then taxi back in the evening. The store for groceries it’s right down the street. The farmers market was so close that I went almost daily for fruit. The café’s are within walking distance. If you are a coffee drinker you will not find any Keurig to use in the morning; just the one cup at a time stove top pot. No toaster as well, but all in all, I enjoyed staying here.

Home away from home
Our stay was great! Our host (Maurizio) was wonderful. He was so thoughtful and responsive to our needs. Upon arriving in Rome he picked us up at the Trastevere Train Station and drove us to our apartment. After we freshened up he took us in his car on a tour of the area showing us all the significant sites and he gave us a thorough account of the history behind what we were seeing. On another occasion we were unable to get a taxi to our tour at the Colosseum and he drove us there.
Maurizio is a very kind man and really interested in his guests! His apartment is not ultra modern but a true reflection of Italian decor with interesting furniture and beautiful paintings.
My thanks to him for making our trip an enjoyable experience.

Beautiful quiet area
My husband and i really enjoyed our stay here. There was a market and a bunch of restaurants nearby. All amenities worked great. There was even a diffuser attachment for the blow dryer (curly hair girls will understand!). Maurizio set up a private driver for us to and from the airport-super helpful! Only negative was the upstairs neighbor pounding on the floor above our bedroom at 12AM. Later found out it was because we had the air conditioner running. We were told we cannot have the air running from 8pm-8am. So if you are planning to visit during hot months keep this in mind!

The apartment was very spacious and well appointed. Bus stop (#75) to main attractions is located right outside the apartment. Very ideal. We would recommend this place to anyone who would like to stay here.

A lovely, elegant, spacious and light apartment in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. The host was extremely helpful and informative and even helped us find somewhere local for dinner the first night as we arrived late in the evening. The buses are easy to use, but we liked to walk, it's a great way to experience the city. The route up Janiculum Hill and over to the Vatican only takes around 30 minutes and is very pretty.

Feel like you live in Rome
…the bus stop is right in front of the door and makes getting to Rome very easy. The local restaurants were delightful and grocery stores abound to get supplies. There is a taxi stand within one block. I enjoy walking and liked the hilly walk to and from all parts of Rome and Trastevere. I could go on and on about how live-able Maurizio’s place is. His family home has everything we needed (I appreciate hangers, closets and drawer space when I unpack for a week). When you read all the rave reviews from everyone about what a phenomenal host he is, they are not exaggerating. Thank you Maurizio for all of your kindness and your spectacular “neighborhood tour”. I welcomed, hosted, safe and cared for.
The view of Rome and the Vatican city from this neighborhood is breathtaking. We even got to enjoy a full moon rising over the city from the neighborhood park/overlook area.

An amazing apartment and Maurizio is a gem!
We based our decision to book with Maurizio based on the amazing reviews we read for his rental apartment and he more than lived up to our expectations. First, he began communicating with us soon after booking (which was almost a year prior to our travel). A few weeks before our trip he sent us so much information on Rome, Roman culture and articles of great interest. Maurizio was so kind to allow us to check in a few hours early. He gave such perfect instructions that were easy to follow and very specific tips on not getting scammed by Taxi’s. We followed his instructions and waited for us outside the apartment. We immediately felt like we were being greeted by a friend! The pictures on his posting (although beautiful) can’t fully show the beauty of the apartment. It was so much more amazing than we had expected. It is huge and unbelievably gorgeous. It has everything you could ask for and more. The beds are very comfortable and the balconies are a dream. After we checked-in, he said he’d be back in a few hours to show us around. Maurizio spent almost 3 hours driving us around the local area and telling us so much history it was unbelievable. What a kind and wonderful man who shared his passion for Roma with us is something we’ll never forget. I wish I could write more I'm running out of space. Our overall advice – book Maurizio’s apartment! You will not be disappointed!

Just like home
I stayed for just under two weeks and after a few days it felt like I was part of the neighborhood. The host gave me a tour of the area, which was as good as any tour in Rome.
It was ideal to walk out the front door and be able to walk across the street for coffee, dessert or any other meal
Between the Quattro Venti train station, buses 75 and 44 along with being able to catch a cab, the location is ideal. It gets you out of the crowds in the city, yet you can get anywhere in 20 minutes.
The apartment and the host receive my highest recommendations.

Thanks for the Memories.
My dream has always been to live in Rome, like one more, like a Roman, to go to the supermarket, buy vegetables, fruits, meats, etc., and cook, drink wine, smile with my wife and children; enjoy life. That’s what I did; created memories.
Waoooooooo this apartment has it all, the kitchen was super equipped had everything you needed to cook, it had everything to be comfortable. My wife and I slept comfortably, as did my two children, Supermarket less than 5 minutes walking, restaurants for when I didn't want to cook, desserts store, Gelateria, Taxi station all within 5 minutes. You are out of the caos of Rome but in Rome. We went to the Vatican Walking 30 minutes. Take in consideration that the apartment is in a hill so we spended money in Taxi every day about 30 euros to go to downtown Rome and come back but it's worth it: Be in Rome live like a Roman with out seen other tourist all around you in Monteverde we were the outsiders.
Maurizio a Super Host the day we arrived he took us in his car and showed us the neighborhood.

BEST HOST EVER
Super Gracious and Generous Host. Very knowledgeable about Rome. Was there to answer any question. Picked us up from the train station. Set us up with a taxi driver. Gave us a tour. We travel quite a bit for competitions and this host was the BEST one we ever had. He made our stay easy and his place was perfect! We are from the States and his support made our travels much less stressful and allowed my son to focus on his competition -- which he won. And Maurizio even had a congratulatory sign posted on the entrance to the building for my son after his win.

The best place to stay in Rome!
Our host was extremely welcoming, even picking us up at the train station when we arrived, and taking us on a 2+ hour tour of the area while explaining the history of Rome and the area we were staying in, giving us multiple opportunities to take pictures and ask questions!
The apartment is stunning. Marble floors, balconies in every room (5), with a lot of space to move around in. What made it even nicer was that the kitchen was fully stocked - definitely easy to make a meal if we wished and it felt like we were truly staying at a Roman family home. Antiques abound in this apartment, and it is easy to navigate from as a home base. Restaurants are everywhere and there is a grocery store and taxi stand just down the block. The bus into central Rome stops right at the front door. This is not a high traffic area, so you can enjoy the crowds of people in downtown Rome and then retire to your authentic Roman apartment. The next time we come to Rome we will definitely see if Maurizio is available! There's no other place I'd rather be!
