Rome Apartment #380
Colosseo / Via dei Ciancaleoni

April 2013

We liked the apartment. The place is quiet. Metro close by. The main attractions close by.
The roof terrace is perfect for evening relaxation. Stairs to the top of a very narrow.
The room is small, but to stop for one week - is sufficient.
I recommend.

Alcune cose nell´appartamento non andavano bene, ma siamo stati ascoltati e queste cose sono state ricambiate.
La vicinananza al centro storico di Roma. Vicino alla metro. La casa era pulita, anzi molto pulita.

April 2013

Great location in Rome! Tons to see and do within walking distance and a metro station also close by. Small but good size for two people, the terrace was nice and a great place to sit outside.

March 2013

Posizione perfetta! Tutti raggiungibili a piedi. Grande terrazza sul tetto, dove il buon vino la sera! Vicino formidabile cafe Grazie a Dio e Venerdi - la cena migliore a Roma! Le finestre si affacciano su una strada tranquilla. Il letto è grande e confortevole. No WI-FI. Doccia e scale fino al tetto del piccolo per le persone grandi. La migliore combinazione di prezzo - qualità!

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Absolute Pluspunkte: Lage, Atmosphäre, ruhiges Umfeld, romantische Terasse.
Kleine Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten: Geruchs- und Feuchtigkeits"biotop" Dusche, Matratze und Lattenrost (v.a. auf der rechten Seite, nicht geeignet für Menschen über 50 Kilo.
Wir kommen wieder

The apartment is small, but very cozy. Located in an area very suitable for walking to explore the city

September 2012

This apartment was cute and in a nice location.  The roof terrace was a bonus.  It seemed a little bit run down - the electrics had been fixed with masking tape for example.  Also due to the lack of space it was difficult to store anything unless you can be bothered to move furniture around to reach the wardrobe.  I'd recommend this apartment for a younger (relatively fit) couple who want to stay a week or less in Rome.

Appartement bien situé à proximité du Métro,restaurants ,market  et du Colisée!
4 petits étages à monter. La terrasse est agréable mais peut être difficile d'accés pour certaines personnes.
Bon rapport qualité prix

September 2012

The apartment was exactly as described. Very comfortable, clean and in a terrific location. Walking up the stairs will use up some of the calories from the numerous nearby restaurants.

August 2012

Studio très bien situé et au calme à 10 minutes à pied de Termini, du colisée et de place de Venise. Terrasse très agréable.

August 2012

Uitstekend appartement met een heerlijk dakterras waar je s'avonds heerlijk kunt zitten. Appartement is echt in hartje Rome! 2 straten verwijderd van het colosseum! Topvakantie gehad. Bedankt!

July 2012

Es ist eine schöne Wohnung mit einer sehr schönen Dachterasse.
Leider war das Bett nicht so gut, die Latten des Lattenrostes fielen immer raus und es sollte vielleicht einen größeren Schrank für die eigenen Sachen geben.
Schöne Gegend, gut zu erreichen. Nahe an der U-Bahn. Wenn das Wetter schön ist bestens.
Da die Wohnung direkt unter dem Dach ist, ist der Wirkungsgrad der Kühlung gering.

June 2012

Absolutely loved this apartment! Loved watching the shadows of the swallows as the sun rose, listening to the piano music from a nearby apartment, smelling the wonderful aroma of wood smoke from the pizza oven below, sipping strong coffee in the morning & grappa at night on the terrace.The only reason we would hesitate to book this apartment again is that we like to cook & would probably look for an apartment with a slightly better equipped kitchen area if we were staying for longer than a week. 

June 2012

Hi,
We have just returned home after a wonderful week in Rome (despite the heat!) We enjoyed apartment #380 for many reasons - the roof terrace of course but also being able to open the wide windows & let in the sounds of the street and the aroma of the wood burning pizza oven from the trattoria below.
We really love the Monti area & would like to stay there again next year for two weeks (possibly end of June/beginning July).

May 2012

The apartment was amazing. It had everything you would need and then some. The roof top terrace was the best! I would absolutley stay there agin!

May 2012

Auf die Dusche waren wir vorbereitet ;-) Aber die optimale Lage und die tolle Dachterasse sind einfach super !

February 2012

Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr klein und einfach, aber es gibt alles was man so braucht (Geschirr, Töpfe, TV, Handtücher..), und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Man steigt über eine winzige Wendeltreppe durch eine Luke zur Dachterrasse, die z.B. zum Frühstücken toll ist.
Die Lage ist sehr zentral, die Wohnung ist ruhig, nur etwas mehr elektrisches Licht wäre gut (wir waren im Februar da, und abends hätten wir gerne eine Lampe mehr gehabt).
Die Abwicklung mit Schlüsselübergabe und Bezahlung war sehr nett und unkompliziert.
Schöne Grüße aus Wien!

January 2012

Very nice apartment, located perfectly. Thank you for everything and for the initial cofee, sugar etc.

October 2011

Good value apartment close to amenities and all the major attractions. A small but cosy apartment that with a kitchen that allowed us to prepare simple food. Suits a self sufficient couple who are fit (to climb the stairs), are not large framed, and happy to live simply. We enjoyed our stay.

April 2011

Excellent location. Apartment ok. Terrace wonderful

December 2010

Great expirience! Perfect for us

Appartement fonctionnel, mignon et très bien placé.

Wir haben uns in Rom wohlgefühlt

September 2010

First impression: stairway is dirty. Even if it is a common area, it should be cleaned for clients. The apartment is ok. But... The beds were hard. Orthopedic you say? The shower curtain needs changing. The fan over the stove should be cleaned. The terrace was a good point beacause Rome is so hot and the apartment so tiny but... Why all these dead plants? Plus it could have been cleaned. not filty but not cleaned either.

Reply from the owner:
(1) We have arranged for monthly cleaning of the stairway.
(2) We have replaced both spring mattresses with brand new lattice mattresses.
(3) The shower curtain has been replaced.
(4) The fan over the stove has been cleaned.
(5) Some of the plants died because not all clients watered them during the summer. The situation is now getting better thanks to the more frequent winter rains.
(6) We have asked the cleaning lady (who cleans the apartment every-time a new client enters, about once a week) to do a more careful job.
(7) Sorry but I have not being able to do anything to fix the hot Rome summer climate.

Ausstattung prima besonders die dachterasse! Fenster lasst sich night vollstandig schließen.

June 2010

Good apartment for max young (fourth floor) two persons for a short stay. Good location - walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. Nice roof terrace however without an attractive view.
Answer by the owner:
The last comment sounds a bit arbitrary to me. Of course there is no direct view of the Colosseum or the S. Peter Basilica. What you see however is an overview of Roman roofs which I (and most tenants) judge to be very nice, and certainly characteristic of Rome. In the web site www.tanadelgatto.it prospective tenants can take a look at several pictures of the terrace and of the view, and judge by themselves. Thank you for your comments.

Great little apartment in a fantastic location. We had a brilliant time in Rome & the apartment was comfortable and homely a pleasure to return to after a long day sightseeing.

March 2010

The one really good thing about this apartment in my opinion was the location. It is very close to the sites, and is also very close to the metro. I did not find the stairs to be an issue, which some people had mentioned, but I am young and in pretty good shape. I would not reccomend it for an older person. The windows need to be replaced in the apartment. They are very drafty and they shake when it is windy out, which kept me awake one night. The apartment needs a good cleaning, as there is a lot of dust. On the surface the apartment appears clean but for example, I would leave my laptop on the counter for the day and when I would go to open it, I could see a lot of dust on it. I didn't like how I had to turn off the tv and the heater in order to use the stove, because the breaker would blow. The patio on the roof is a nice feature (again not a spectacular view as someone had mentioned) and it could be cleaned up. Also, the door to the patio is very heavy and quite difficult to manage. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has hurt themselves using it.The owner and the girls in the office (which is located very close to the apartment) were all very nice and helpful, but in my experience all vacation apartment owners have been really nice and helpful. Even though I liked the locations, I would not stay in this apartment again.

Sehr gut. Alles prima, danke. Der schussel war abge brochen, aber Renato hat schnell + sehr sympathisch reagiert. Grazie, ci vediamo

December 2009

Great location, wonderful roof garden, the window latches need repaired. Wi Fi would be appreciated; an English speaking Tv station like BBC would be great.
Answer by the owner:
(1) We have repaired the window latches. The windows are
however old and need to be handled with care. (") While there is no plan to put WiFi for the moment (there are both Internet points and free WiFi spots nearby), (3) there is a new television which delivers also BBC and other English speaking channels, and also FR24 (French channel). Thank you for your comments.

Everything fonctional but no tissu for the washing up. Good welcoming from you and good rate quality/price for the flat

October 2009

Appartement très bien placé,à deux pas du métro, situé dans un endroit à la fois calme et animation à proximité. La description qui en est faite sur internet est conforme à ce que l'on trouve et un pus pour la terrasse. Je le conseille donc vivement.

September 2009

Sehr gut gelegenes, sehr ruhiges und schönes Zimmer. Der Schlüsselhalter ist auch sehr freundlich, kann deutsch und ist sehr entgegenkommend. Positiv ist auch, dass das Büro von Roman Reference gleich um die Ecke ist. Falls man Probleme hat, kann man gleich dort hin gehen.
Wenn man wesentlich breiter als 70 cm ist, hat man ein Problem, die wunderschöne Dachterrasse zu erleben, was wirklich sehr schade wäre: die zur Terrasse führende Wendeltreppe ist äußerst schmal und wenn man größer ist als 1,9 Meter stößt man sich zudem gerne den Kopf an, wenn man beim Raufklettern nicht aufpasst. Auch sollte man auf den Türschlüssel achten, dass er nicht abbricht, was mir bereits am ersten Tag gelungen ist und ich somit 20 Euro los wurde. Mückenempfindliche Leute sollten vielleicht ein Moskitonetz mitbringen. Die Matratzen im Doppelbett sind unterschiedlich hoch und ein empfindlicher Rücken könnte sich an den metallenen Sprungfedern in der Matratze stören. (Stand September 09)
Aber im Allgemeinen ist die Wohnung voll zu empfehlen - wir würden jederzeit nochmal dorthin gehen.

Comments on the apartment we stayed in. It was a cute little apartment. However, the bed seriously needs to be replaced. I would suggest one queen size bed. The current bed is two twins put together. One side is really hard and the second bed is lumpy and slopes so you tend to roll off. With a few upgrades the apartment could be really nice. Add a vent to pull the steam out of the bathroom when showering that would also help with the mold in the shower. The shower needs to be cleaned really good and the grout resealed to help with the mold. The hot water tank really only has enough hot water for one person and then you have to wait about two hours for a second shower.

Answer by the owner:
Dear tenant, thank you for leaving a comment about your stay in my apartment, with the goal of helping me to improve its comfort to the advantage of future tenants.
I must say, however, that, while some of your comments are appropriate, some other sound to me exaggerated, if we consider that the point of renting a place like mine is to live a true Roman experience in a comfortable and charming setting and at a good price, and not to stay in an
anonymous Grand Hotel with no rivals in terms of luxury and comfort. Since prospective tenants decide whether or not to rent an apartment also on the basis of the comments left by former tenants, I feel that I should reply.
(1) The beds have been replaced less than one year ago. They are orthopedic, and might seem a bit hard if you are used to sleep on very soft mattresses. I keep two single beds so that I can accommodate both single persons and couples (tying the two beds together and using queen
size mattress-cover and linen, so that the fact that they are two twins put together is hardly noticeable). One bed had indeed a slight slope and I fixed it by placing a small piece of wood under its legs on one side. (2) In the bathroom there is already a small air conditioning. Moreover, there is a window: if you keep it open there will be plenty fresh air circulation. (3) I replaced the shower curtain, that is where the mold accumulate with time. The floor of the shower has been redone less than one year ago by a very good plumber, and it looks pretty good. The little accumulation of water during showering was due to a bit of hair in the drain: we removed them (and will do that periodically) and now the water flows away nicely. Finally, we'll ask the cleaning lady to pay more attention to the shower while doing the cleaning, even though you are the first to complain about this. (4) How many showers you can take with one full tank depends obviously on how much you stay in the shower. Clients usually say that the capacity of the present tank (that I have increased when I bought the place) is enough to allow for two consecutive showers.

Eine wirklich sehr schöne kleine Wohnung.
Sehr gemütlich, ordentlich und sauber.
Eigentlich ein Ausgezeichnet, wenn nicht der Schimmel im Badezimmer wäre. Die Decke in der Dusche ist arg von Schimmel befallen und sollte dringend gemacht werden. Der Duschvorhang sah ähnlich aus wie die Decke.
Alles in allem eine super Wohnung bis auf das Bad.
Die Dachterasse ist wunderschön, auch wenn die Aussicht ehr schlecht ist.

April 2009

Die Wohnung war in einem guten Zustand und es war alles vorhanden was wir benötigten. Der Reiz der Wohnung liegt in seinem tollen Dachgarten und in der zentrumsnahen Lage!!! Wir haben fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreicht! Auch der Preis ist ok.
Ein kleiner Nachteit sollte umgehend beseitigt werden, der marode Duschvorhang.

Very cute apartment, small and charming. The quality of service is very good.

Wunderbar gelegenes gemütliches Zimmer mit Terrasse. Schade, dass der Kamin nicht beheizt werden kann. Lädt nach langen Tagen zu nächtlichen Spaziergängen zum Forum Romanum ein. Nur die Duschecke könnte neu geweißt werden, für die Pingeligen ;).

Clean, airy, well located, good dinning. The steps were a bit of a bother, but the exercise let me eat more pasta.
