We were invited to dropped our luggage off at 10:30 am which was great as had arrived early that morning. Right outside front door was cafe where we could get breakfast. Loved the huge kitchen that seated 8 people so plenty of room for the 4 of us. All 3 bedrooms were lovely and nice size. Easy walk to transportation restaurants grocery stores and the coliseum. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Our host was amazing and responded very quickly to all our questions

If I could give this home and host 6/5 stars, I would!!! One of the best stays we’ve ever experienced. Benny was extremely communicative, kind, proactive, flexible and accommodating. The apartment was in pristine condition and fully stocked with paper towels, soaps, teas, umbrellas and many other helpful items. The location is excellent - very close to many restaurants and shop options. Although there is no in-unit washer, it is right next to a reasonably priced laundromat. If you enjoy walking, it is an enjoyable and safe walk to some of Rome’s biggest landmarks: Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish steps, etc. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you Benny!

Our stay here was pleasant, Benny the host was very responsive and communicated with us throughout our stay. The apartment itself is conveniently located to some main sightseeing attractions especially the colosseum. It is spacious and clean with enough rooms for our family of 6. Our only issue was that with younger kids. Ours being two and almost one when it came to nighttime their running affected the neighbors downstairs. This ended up being a bit of a sore point in our trip as it was not something we can control with a toddler. Our host was understanding but the downstairs neighbor kept complaining. Our kids ended up getting sick and really fussy in the evenings and things escalated a bit but by this time we were about to leave. All in all the apartment and host itself was great but may not be the best for a family with young kids.

Outstanding service, but note the property layoutThe property manager, Benny, here is fantastic. On our first night, the air conditioner in our bedroom did not work upon arrival. Even though it was late, Benny was incredibly responsive and came by at 10:00 PM to try and fix it. When he couldn't fix it that night, he completely replaced the unit the very next day. The new AC worked perfectly for the rest of our stay. We truly appreciated his dedication to making things right! The first night was very tough and hot, which caused us to lose a full night of sleep and cut our sightseeing short the next day due to exhaustion. However, the manager's quick action completely turned the situation around. For future guests, it is helpful to know the layout of the home:AC Setup: There is no central AC for the rest of the house; instead, each bedroom has its own individual AC unit.Bathroom: The door to the smaller bathroom does not close properly and has no lock, which can affect privacy if you are traveling with a group.

The apartment was in a perfect location. 10-minute walk to the Colosseum with restaurants, atm, grocery stores and pharmacy within a block or 2. There was plenty of space for our group of 6. The apartment was super clean and stocked with what we needed for our stay. I wish we would have stayed much longer. It was comfortable and quiet. We always felt secure with the large doors going into the apartment building having a key code. Benny was so helpful. I was a little concerned about the best way to get to the apartment from the airport. His recommendations were perfect. I can't say enough about Benny and the apartment. Perfecto!

We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. The unit was as advertised and the rooms, including the living area were huge. The location was great - very central to Roma Termini station, attractions, shops, and restaurants. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Benny was a very responsive host and let us drop our luggage off before the check in time. The air conditioners worked well during the recent very warm temperatures in Rome and the kitchen was well stocked.
