My stay was stellar! The apartment had everything I needed for a great visit. The location was perfect, walkable distance to the sights and sounds in Rome. I was grateful for the car service for airport transportation, the ease of communication with property owner, and the quaint beauty that is Trastevere. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

A idyllic space in a busy place.
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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

It was cool in November although warm and cozy in our condo. Withing walking distance to center of Rome and museums. We found our stay to be wonderful and restful.

Fantastic stay!
We stayed in the apt for 10 days in Sept and had a wonderful time. The owners were there to greet us and give us a very detailed lay of the land. Loved the high ceilings, 1st floor location and proximity to the Tiber. Also, I have to say that I really liked the old solid wood shutters. I enjoyed opening them in the morning and — with a coffee cup in hand —looking at the passing pedestrians. A special thanks to Pasqual for being available on short notice to help me out with a few things. The neighborhood is real nice with a few cafes and a nice little grocery store 200 feet away. And of course, one of Rome’s great bakeries is close by (biscotti Innocente) not to forget the excellent restaurant Da Enzo which is a few hundred steps away as well. Garden very nice as well with lime and lemin trees. Thanks also to Adriana and Susan — the property managers — for helping us with airport transfers as well. Hope to return in 2019.

A wonderful getaway from the teeming crowds of Rome.
Mio Giardino is a bright, spacious combination of sophistication and charming comfort with impressive paintings and attractive antiques. It is in an excellent location for sightseeing...close to a bridge by the river...you could walk everywhere...but on a quaint, out-of-the-way street with terrific restaurants nearby. There is a basic, adequately-equipped kitchen beside an elegant dining room leading up to the beautiful garden which was a special place for morning coffee or dining "al fresco". We liked the spare but welcoming decor, especially the high ceilings and all the interesting "art" objects like the Art Deco lamp and the gorgeous mirror at the end of the hall. The owners were there to greet us when we arrived and were both helpful and hospitable. I got taken on a short tour of the neighbourhood. Mio Giardino is a welcoming and appealing "home" to return to after a long day on Rome's crowded and hot cobblestones.
