About this property

Selci | 10-minutes walk from the Colosseum!

Welcome to Monti, a lively district as spirited as the harmonious hodgepodge of atmosphere, history, and modern attitudes and ideas blending and keeping the pulse of this area pumping. A center of population in ancient times, the heartbeat of Rome is ever-moving, away from this district for some centuries, and then back again, revived with a mix of freshly 21st century ideas. Perhaps one of the most convenient urban areas, Monti is chock-full of public transit options, including subway stations that spirit guests all over Rome in moments. Not only is the awe-inspiring ancient center truly just outside my door, but the historic center itself is well-connected and even walkable from the property, not to mention an ever-active nightlife and cuisine scene I urge travelers to delve right into. The Colosseum beckons you less than 1km away while the nearby Baroque beauty and majesty of the Trevi fountain calls for your coin toss and imminent return to Rome. However you look at it, you can’t swing a cat in Monti without hitting ancient history, which I find an eternal flow of fascination, and I hope you do too.
I was hoping to evoke the vibrance of this artsy area with a variety of modern paintings and pieces, bright, inviting colors, and a general visual “POP”, tempered by softer, earthen tones and exposed brick arches echoing the history of the neighborhood, while maintaining all the comforts needed to feel at home. A full kitchen is at your disposal should you choose to snack, dine-in, or maybe enjoy drinks and appetizers in the lovely little yard/terrace while taking advantage of our wonderful weather. A/C keeps us all cool during the warmer months and I’ve included satellite tv and internet so all my visitors can stay connected while on vacation, as well as a washing machine; no one feels at home without clean clothes! 50 sqm is large enough for a couple to be comfortable or a single person to embrace the privacy after a day out and about amongst the crowds. Selci is decked out/equipped as an extension of the area as much as myself, and an excellent starting point to experience the blend of centuries.

5 spannende Tage in einem stylischen Appartement ohne Aussicht

Wir haben die Tage sehr genossen. Ein außergewöhnliches Appartement, dass leider keinerlei Aussicht bietet und ziemlich feucht war. Es gelang uns nicht in den Tagen unsere Wäsche zu trocknen. Die Ausstattung minimalistisch und leicht schmuddelig

Nice

The apartment has an expected chic modern interior. It was clean though it has a certain moldy smell when you enter which the candles helped in reducing it. It has ample natural lighting in daytime which was cool. The kitchen wares and dining sets were so useful. The sofa was quite comfortable but for taller individuals, I had to crawl out of it. Overall, the apartment was a comfortable place to stay in. Market and metro are 2 minutes away. Would definitely stay in again.

Rome

The apartment smelled like mold and there was hairs all over the bed and on the floor. Decent place at best otherwise, but the cleanliness was not acceptable.

Ottimo affare

La casa é posizionata in una zona vicinissima al colosseo, comodissima per gli spostamenti. L’appartamento è arredato e ristrutturato molto bene, fornito di tutto il necessario, ottimo per due persone.

Mediocre experience

We stayed at 3 VRBO properties on this trip to Italy, and sadly this was our least favorite. The check in went fine, although it was VERY quick and we didn’t quite yet know what we didn’t know. There is a thermostat as you would expect to find. We fought with it for a couple of hours, thinking it was working but responding slowly, until we later found the remote control that operated the A/C unit directly. Would have been nice to know. Would have taken 10 second to tell us. The apartment is very humid. There is a weird collection of random objects, but missing some essentials. There is plenty of artwork hanging on the walls, but no napkins, paper towels, or even a dish towel in the kitchen. There are statues and small figurines, but no wine glasses. There are espresso cups, but no espresso maker. Almost seems like a storage unit for housewares that won’t fit anywhere else. We occasionally got a whiff of either sewage or garbage. Could not pinpoint where it came from, and it always dissipated quickly. The couch (futon) is dreadfully uncomfortable to sit on. The bed is OK. This is a ground floor apartment with 2 big skylights, but keep in mind that the unit is surrounded by other apartments. So people from those apartments could, if they wanted, look down into this apartment. We didn’t see anyone looking at us, but if you are especially modest, you might be uncomfortable. Oh, and the skylight in the bedroom opens by remote control for ventilation, except that the batteries in the remote were dead. The street is sketchy. It is a maze of broken down cars and disassembled scooters. Not too bad in the day, but makes you a little uneasy at night. They point out that there is a police department nearby. Didn’t make us feel any better about it. Also, maybe we just didn’t know how to work the TV. We were able to get only 3 stations, all in Italian. Now we didn’t come to Rome to watch, TV, but like to have it on before bed and first thing in the morning. I would think it would be nice to have included an English speaking news channel as well, as I suspect many of the guests are English speakers. Or maybe they could have left us some simple instructions. None of the issues were a big deal, but just added to a mediocre experience. On the good side, you are near the Colosseum, plenty of restaurants, and pretty close to the train station. Three stars from us for placing style WAY before function on this one.
