This property is in a great location and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and we loved hearing the birds from the pretty patio. The owner is lovely and the rental company so easy to work with. Our favorite was our wonderful driver who picked us up from the airport and took us to the apartment.

Communication was excellent, the apartment was spacious and had everything that we needed and was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there as it was close to absolutely everything within walking distance and also the bus lines. However, I would say that you can’t really use the garden area as it is very wet and tons of mosquitoes and there’s no sun that comes in there so you have to be mindful of that. Also, the apartment is not really well spaced out. There are three rooms - the kitchen the sitting area and then the bedroom. It’s rather dark so if you don’t mind that that’s fine. I loved being able to be in Trastevere. That was a real plus. Loved the area. I just wish the apartment had a bit more light and was more open feeling - but that’s just me!!! Overall we enjoyed staying there! Thank you!

Amazing location in Trastevere near the river. We walked all over Rome. Communication with Susan was stellar. She was helpful arranging for a driver (nice guy!!!) to pick us up at airport & explained how to schedule a taxi via Freenow as we were both clueless. The gentleman/owner (apologies but I forgot his name) was so kind & thorough & helped us figure out how to make phone calls with the proper prefixes. Traveling is stressful but everyone involved with our Rome stay were so kind & accommodating to our questions & needs. The apartment was clean, roomy & comfortable. It was too cold for the garden but it truly is a lovely spot. The welcome wine & water were a nice touch. Would stay again. So grateful for our time in Rome because of the attentiveness of all involved. Grazie!!!

We enjoyed our visit to the charming Stastevere apartment. Just steps from amazing food, and most highlights were 20-30 min walks. It is full of character and well appointed . We were able to do laundry and hang out in the garden when tired. Cobblestones make walking tiring, but when in Rome...

Spacious and relaxing, great location!

We loved the apartment! It was so nice having the beautiful walled garden to enjoy in the mornings and the evenings. The kitchen was well equipped and we lacked for nothing. The owners, Christina and Pasquale, were so gracious when we caught an earlier flight and they met us at the apartment when we arrived. They also arranged our cab from the airport. They then spent the time to show us a little of the neighborhood and offered excellent advise on local eating establishments and shopping. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Great location!

This VRBO is in a great location in Trastevere that was very easy to find. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was very clean, spacious & had everything required for our stay. The garden was a nice area to relax in for our own aperativo before heading out for a late meal. There are many good restaurants in the area that the host recommended. There's also a large supermarket & many smaller markets close by to shop for food. It was nice to see salt, pepper, olive oil & coffee supplied. There was some street noise but it didn't keep us from having a good night's sleep. We would definitely stay again! Enjoy!

Basic but pleadant

Great location, close to the river and away from the tourist crowds, with nice restaurants. The apartment is basic but comfortable. Pasquale was a helpful host, and the management company staff were efficient. The WiFi is a bit complicated, so best to make sure you can get online via both phone and computer before completing the check-in process. Our main disappointment was the garden, which is rather run down and sometimes wasn’t really usable because of an aggressive dog next door.

AMAZING

The apartment is just across the river in Trastevere but you feel like you have escaped to the country side. The garden in the back is fantastic. We even got to enjoy fresh lemons off the tree. Cristina greeted us when we arrived and took the time to show us not only around the apartment but around the neighborhood. She showed us where to eat dinner and where to get the best bread and cappuccino (and it was the best cappuccino we had the entire time we were in Rome!) Would highly recommend this apartment.

Beautiful apartment filled with art

I could feel the history of the apartment. The walls are at least 2 feet thick. The tall narrow windows opened onto cobblestone streets. There is a church across from the main entrance that is a thousand years old. From the kitchen, there is a lovely view of a lush green garden. It is a private garden and it's a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine. The apartment has a collection of art, some of which is modern mixed with black and white photographs of country scenes from a century ago. Very much like Rome, mixing the old and the new.The full kitchen made it easy to prepare a fast breakfast before heading out to go exploring. Rome's historic piazzas and palazzos are in walking distance from the apartment. The towering sycamore trees shade the sidewalks along the Tiber River so even on a warm day it is pleasant. We stayed for several weeks and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great solo stay in Rome in

The property manager was communicative and even helped arrange transportation to and from the airport, and also offered advice on trains. The apartment was very quaint and lovely, just as described and pictured on the site. Just a note to Americans visiting in the summer months (including Sept); Italy does not have A/C like US has A/C. The A/C unit in the apartment had to be vented outside the apartment which would have meant an open window and as a woman traveling alone I did not feel comfortable having the window open for extended periods of time esp. if I wasn't there. I survived with a fan :-) Two fans; one for the living room and one for the bedroom, would have been even better. But overall a very lovely place and experience.

Great Location

This apartment is located within blocks of some of the best restaurants in Rome! It is a 20-25 minute walk to the Colosseum and Forum. There is a taxi stand a few minutes away (near the flower stand) There are many sites that are closer and you can walk to them. Pasquale met us at the apartment and was very informative. He walked us around the neighborhood and pointed out good restaurants and left us a list of his favorites. The apartment is roomy. The kitchen is very large with a big table and leads to the outside area which is beautiful. The apartment appears to have last been updated in the 70s and that is most reflected in the bathroom. The living room / second bedroom TV does not work so only TV is in the master bedroom. We stayed for 2 weeks and really enjoyed the neighborhood. The restaurants, beautiful churches and wonderful atmosphere

Disappointing

Great location. Nice older man/owner met us at property. Management company helped arrange car to pick is up at airport with super driver. We appreciated 2 small bottles of wine for us in fridge. However, property is not renovated. No screens on windows so we were eaten up by mosquitoes. Stand alone A/c unit exists in one bedroom, but extremely ineffective at cooling room. Disturbing art in kitchen. It was recommended to use existing 2 heavy bars to put across every window and door for security if you were not currently in that room and always to be use the barricades before going out -resulted in dark interior and gloomy vibes. Apartment has lots of potential. The reviews (and interior photos) did not accurately reflect what we saw.

Another memorable visit!

We enjoyed the apartment so much in 2018 that we decided to return again 8 months later! Everything was as before — fabulous! There is nice little market about 100 yards away with various pastries, meats, cheeses and wines (they carry a particular Sicilian Grillo-Viognier that I enjoy). Just across the street from that market is an excellent restaurant (Spirito di Vino) which is worth the splurge. My adult daughters were quite impressed by the stunning Villa Farnesina located next to the Tiber, as well as the 16th century Tempietto at San Pietro, a 15-20 minute walk from the apt. Both should be in that ‘must see’ category. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cool and rainy on several days — but what better way to stay dry and cruise the city streets than by boarding the #3 tram on the Viale di Trastevere (10-12 mins walk) and riding it 50-60 minutes to the end of the line — which leaves you at the entrance to the National Gallery of Modern Art? In any event, the weather is not something that the lovely owners (Pasqual and Christine) nor the very capable management team (Susan and Adriana) can control. 😊 See you again soon!

Just what I needed!

This apartment was a perfect home base for me. I spent eleven nights here. My trip to Rome was a last-minute decision. With my kids away at camp and my husband working, I realized I had time to take care of myself and do something which I love -- traveling and exploring. This apartment is clean, spacious, and comfortable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the garden. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of a big city, this apartment was a peaceful refuge. The location is great. It's on a quiet street in a lively neighborhood, within walking distance of so many monuments, museums, historic sites, and shops (as well as restaurants, markets, and gelateria!). Susan and Adriana of Commendable Rentals were readily available to answer my questions, help me with my booking, provide information about the apartment and Rome, and help with logistics. The owners, Cristina and Pasquale, are a lovely and gracious couple. They were there to welcome me and show me around the apartment and neighborhood when I first arrived. And they checked in on me during my stay. I'm glad I opted to accept the offer to arrange for a driver, both from and then back to the airport. Elie is punctual, professional, and thoroughly delightful. My sojourn to Rome and Mio Giordino was wonderful in so many ways. I would do this all again with no reservations. Happy travels!

Very Nice Apartment in Trastevere

Cristina and Pasquale are lovely hosts. They were very welcoming and graciously showed us around the apartment when we arrived. Overall, the location was great and convenient to both the city center and Trastevere. It was also in a part of Trastevere that wasn't too loud. The living room was spacious and a great place to hang out after a day of sightseeing. Also loved the kitchen and the ability to get some fresh food from local markets and cook in the apartment. The bathroom was also very clean as was the whole apartment. On the downside, the garden was a big draw for us. And while it was lovely there were too many bugs and mosquitoes and Cristina told us the lemon tree died. There were citronella candles and mosquito coils in the apartment, but I still came away with a bunch of mosquito bites and after the first day didn’t bother going into the garden anymore. Also, the apartment is advertised as having air conditioning, but it is just a portable unit where the exhaust hose sticks out of the shudders on the windows without any kind of seal. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, the humidity wasn’t too bad and the fan in the apartment was fine. If it were hot and humid during out stay, it would have been a problem. Overall, we really enjoyed the apartment and were grateful for the hospitality of Cristina and Pasquale.

False Description

The property itself is great very large with three big rooms. The owner is wonderful, very kind and helpful. I appreciate that he greeted me on my arrival. But the listing says this place is air conditioned, which it is not. It has on small room air conditioner that vents out the sunny south window, which means you have to leave the window open to the sun and the bugs and it's easy to climb into the window from the ground, so its unsafe. The air conditioner did kot cool the bedroom and it does nothing to cool the other two rooms in the apartment. You can't cook in the kitchen because it's too hot! The management company refused to acknowledge their misleading description and told me that there's not much air conditioning in Europe so I just need to put up with it! The presence of air conditioning in Europe is irrelevant. The listing says the place is air conditioned and it isn't. The management company refused to lower the nightly rate or communicate me further about it. It's been over 100 degrees in Rome and the apartment was stifling and miserable. The management company is horrible condescending, rude and should be banned from VRBO.

Amazing Apartment, Fabulous Neighborhood

We had a terrific week in this apartment. The rental agent Adriana and the owners met us when we arrived to show us the apartment and around the Trastevere neighborhood. Adriana was extremely helpful answering our questions even before we arrived. She arranged for a driver (Elie) to pick us up from the airport. Elie was wonderful and it was great not having to worry about navigating a strange city while jet lagged. The owners of the apartment were extremely helpful, welcoming and just plain lovely. It was like meeting an old friend. They took us for a quick tour of the neighbor to help us get our bearings and provided a list of the local restaurants to try that was spot on. They kept in touch with us during the week to make sure we didn't need anything. The apartment was well equipped and was very nicely decorated with antiques and art work. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, family oriented with few tourists. And most importantly there were no tourists with their iPhones and selfie sticks out. There were lovely restaurants, boutiques, book shops and bars on every street. Each night we took a walk through the neighborhood and would find something new to explore. The shops were open late (like 8pm) and it was nice to browse through a used book store or clothes shop after dinner. In addition to the neighborhood being great, the apartment itself was in a very central location. A 20 minute walk to the Coliseum, Vatican or the Pantheon. We only took a taxi when we went to the train station for a day trip to Florence. We used the My Taxi app but there was also a taxi stand around the corner. The city was very walkable from the apartment and we took full advantage of this. There were two local grocery stores that we used as well as several nice bakeries within 5 minutes of the apartment. The building the apartment was located in was very quiet and safe (we never saw or heard the neighbors). We could not have been happier with our choice to stay in this apartment and will miss the evenings we spent sipping wine in the garden. When we return to Rome I would rent this apartment again in a heartbeat. Thank you for your hospitality. Donna and Mark.
