    Would have been helpful to have more than 1 set of keys as we were two couples with different itineraries so we had to make sure we planned who had the key and when.

    Fantastic location. So close to all the main attractions. Surprisingly quiet once you closed the windows. Host was so friendly and helpful on check-in and we particularly appreciated the cold drinks left for us in the fridge. Loved the high ceilings and the wooden beams in the living room.

    We were a party of five and we were told there were two sofa beds, but when we arrived there was one sofa bed for two people., meaning we had to share. They said they never meant to mislead. Must have been lost in translation.

    Location and space in apartment were perfect.

    A few tea towels would have been helpful and some larger mugs for those of us who like drinking from buckets.

    Perfect location. Walked miles simply because all the major landmarks were in walking distance. Really high traditional wooden ceilings typical of Rome.

    The apartment would benefit from a little renovation, especially the bathrooms. We had a little issue with one toilette which started to flush by itself, so we had to close the water at night.

    The location is excellent, right in the centre of the city, the apartment is comfortable and equipped and the staff friendly.

    Perfect location in walking distance to everything, still in a quiet street so there is no noise at night. The aircon is good. Even though we arrived late, the guy at check in still took his time to explain everything and gave some valuable information about the city.

    I have one suggestion: One betroom should have two beds instead double bed.

    The appartment was spacious and nicely designed. Nice and quiet little street but close to good restaurants and cafes, walkable distance to all attractions and bus stop to the airport or hop on/off bus. There were two bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped. We met staff on arrival-nice and polite to us, even we had been late than expected. The appartment was great for 6 people. We all enjoyed our trip.

    Unfortunately the property is in need of a fair bit of work and modernisation. The kitchen felt neglected, the kettle did not work, there was not enough cutlery or utensils for a family to eat, the coffee pot on the hob and shown to us by the host to use had mould on the inside, there were no cleaning products provided, oven gloves or tea towels, random bits found in cupboards smelt damp and stained. The bathrooms were pleasant and some toiletries were provided but in some areas they were in a bad state with paint peeling from the walls, missing fixtures and loose plugs. The cleanliness of the property was not of a standard I would expect at this price point, it was a little grubby in areas with a poor standard of cleaning in general. There was not enough bedding provided for the number of guests we booked and the bedding we did find in the cupboards felt dirty, sadly we also found stains on some of the provided bedding on the beds in the rooms. On a more serious note I received a electric shock from a lamp in the lounge when using the on off switch and it exploded in my hand, leaving a burn on my hand. Luckily no lasting damage however this could have been much worse and obviously as a family with three young children this is very concerning. I contacted the hosts and they repaired the wire but I received no follow up. Throughout the property I would urge caution with the electrics, a number of the plug sockets are loose from the wall and look damaged, the sockets utilise an older style European socket which has clearly caused compatibility issues over the years. I would not usually leave negative reviews and would have turned a blind eye to the cleanliness concerns as the positives of the property and location outweigh that in my opinion, however I would urge caution if traveling with children and sincerely hope the owners address the general condition of the property, if they do they will undoubtedly have the perfect holiday home

    The location of the property was quite simply perfect, a quiet street only a 2 minute walk from a square full of restaurants and shops, within 30 minutes walk of all of the major sites. We were greeted by the host who could not have been more helpful or friendly, they were very accommodating meetings us to allow a bag drop and check in. The property itself had beautiful features and lots of space for a family.

    Fantastic apartment in a cozy narrow street. It has everything one may need to feel the spirit of old town in Rome. 2 bedrooms, small kitchen, big dining area, 2 bathrooms. The apartment was perfectly clean and had all needed furniture. What requires special attention is the ceiling - it is just magic! Perfectly adds the Roman vibe to the mood.

    Unfortunately we arrived from weeks of travel already with suitcases full of dirty clothes, expecting to use the washing machine. Upon arrival we were told washing machine was broken, so we were unable to use. Also upon arrival one toilet didn't flush at all, however, the lovely guy who booked us in was very responsive and came right back and fixed this issue. However the other 'working toilet' has a very weak flush, we often had to manually flush with a bucket of water. Also on plumbing issues, when showering the water banks up as the drain was obviously blocked. When washing hair we had to turn off the shower mid-shower and let some water drain away or it would have flooded the bathroom. Another disappointment, was that after cooking dinner one night we discovered no dishwasher tabs had been left. We went out next day and bought some, only to then not have the dishwasher work... the manual in the house simply stated "dishwasher is easy to use, refer to manual if needed" .... never found a manual.

    Location is gold! We were able to walk to all the sites. Is located in a little cobbled street, very pretty with cafes, shops etc close by. Was clean and very roomy, plenty of room for a family, and great to have 2 bathrooms.

    The photos shown are somewhat dated, they give you an accurate picture of the idea the layout, but when we stayed the property definitely needed a good clean and some maintenance done. Supplies in limited - for example only 2 knives and no working lighter provided to light gas hobs, no clothes pegs. Bed linen could also do with a refresh, one set of sheets had holes in them.

    Fabulous location for exploring Rome, we walked everywhere. Roomy apartment. Air conditioning worked well. Host who met us was friendly and responded quickly to messages.

    Upon arrival, we had to wait for the host to meet us. And as a bonus, property wasn't cleaned after previous guests. So we had to wait for about two hours for the cleaning to be finished. It was a huge discomfort, as we had to cancel our plans...

    We had difficulty reaching the manager to get the keys and waited rather long for him to come. The photographer they used to advertise the apartment was a magician as the photos on Booking.com make the apartment look MUCH nicer than it is.

    The location was terrific and the place was adequate. The man who signed us in was kind and helpful.

    The apartment it’s not exactly like the pictures, everything is in bad conditions, walls with mold, a lot of dust everywhere, there was someone else’s hair on the shower drain. It makes you feel like you don’t want to touch anything besides the bed and the bathroom. Aside from that, for 6 people it’s a great price with a perfect location.

    Location is amazing, right next to Campo de Fiori and Piazza Navona, has a lot of restaurants near. The beds are comfy and the apartment is very big, so it fits 6 people perfectly because the couch opens to a double bed. Communication is good.

    The beds were very firm, which is not our personal preference. Not an issue if you prefer firm beds. All of the sinks in the apartment sprayed or leaked water onto the counter. Communication from the hosts wasn’t great regarding check-in. We didn’t know what to expect upon arrival after texting that we were on our way. Someone was waiting for us, but we didn’t know if they would be.

    Fantastic location, very spacious, cozy living room, equipped with a washing machine. We had a plumbing issue, and it was handled within a timely manner. Couch folds out into a bed large enough for three kids.
