We had an amazing stay at this excellent location. Accommodations were spacious and clean, just as appeared in the photos. Great air-conditioning, which was important on the HOT days! Amazing location - we were able to walk everywhere!
We felt really well located, we wanted something a little quieter as we were traveling with my mom and daughter. Very close walk to the colosseum! Everything was super nice and he was a fabulous host.
My family of 3 (2 adults and a 13 year old) loved our time in Rome and stay at this apartment. The location was wonderful (right near everything, but still quiet at night) and it was a great amount of space for 3.
The apartment was comfortable and conveniently located in Rome. We were able to walk to many sights and nearby restaurants. Our host was helpful and easy to contact. I would recommend this property to all.
The Apartment had everything you needed. Great Air Conditioning with Rome being so hot. Fabulous location 10 Mins to Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. Lots of Restaurants and Pizzerias close by.
This was an ideal location to spend some time in Rome. It’s centrally located. The rooms are comfortable and the apartment is clean. The host was most accommodating. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Grazie della comprensione. Siete una bella famiglia. Ho dovuto sostituire l'aria condizionata che si è rotta il giorno del vostro arrivo. Adesso una nuova è pronta ad ospitarvi comodamente. Vi aspettiamo
The property was a nice size for two couples. The beds were not the most comfortable but they were adequate for our two nights there. The location was perfect for walking to many of the historic sites in Rome.
Such a nice apartment in a fun neighborhood. Very close to the Colosseum and other great historical sites. Santino was a wonderful host, making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
We were steps away from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Great coffee, restaurants, and gelato were located in the same neighborhood. Easy walking to many other major tourist sites.
Perfect apartment, very friendly host and great location!!!
Overall experience was excellent. I highly recommend staying here. The host (Santino) could not have been nicer and has excellent recommendations. Next time I’m in Rome I will definitely stay here again!!!
If you are looking to visit the most famous sites of Rome, this apartment is located perfectly for you. It's in the middle of the action but also quiet at night. The elevator was a huge plus! The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked and everything was very clean. Santino was responsive and helped us get transportation to the airport. We would definitely stay here again!
The location is superb for people wanting to see the sights of Rome.
I was greeted by the hosts, with no complaints when I arrived late. Very polite and friendly people.
Loved our stay in Rome in Santino’s apartment. He greeted us personally and his place had all the comforts of home. Comfortable beds, extra plug converters, kitchen needs, restaurant recommendations, books on Rome,and more. Very convenient location for things we wanted to do.
Clean and comfortable apartment in the heart of ancient and historic Monti. Walk to the Colosseum in less than 10. Plenty of other landmarks within walking distance. Nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, a local market and Flor which has the best gelato around.
