Our family of 5 adults (my husband and I--in our 70s, two sons, and one daughter-in-law) enjoyed 2 weeks in Rome in this apartment and highly recommend it. The apartment is very well furnished with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a livingroom, and a kitchen, and is just as it is depicted in the photographs. It was perfect for our family as there is plenty of room, and each of us could have a little privacy when we wanted. The kitchen is small, but very adequate with both gas burners and an electric oven, as well as a microwave and a toaster. The cooking pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, glasses, etc. are plentiful. There is also a washing machine for doing laundry. The apartment was clean and well organized, and was a wonderful place to return to after a day out in the city.

The location of the apartment is perfect for seeing the sights of Rome on foot or a combination of walking and metro rides. In a few minutes you can walk to the Roman Forum and Colosseum, as well as other places and museums. A metro stop is only  a short walk away, and there you can take the metro all over Rome, if you like. The Termini train station is also within walking distance. Several supermarkets are closeby for groceries, and there many small restaurants and coffee bars in the neighborhood.

The apartment has television and wifi, and the apartment building has an elevator.

The  owner of the apartment was very helpful and cordial, and was waiting at the apartment when we arrived. He made us feel welcome and "at home," and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we later emailed him about.  He also booked taxis for us to transer from and to the airport, and that little detail helped us a great deal, especially since my husband is now disabled, and it is no longer easy for us to take the Leonardo express train the way we used to do.

So, if you are a family or a small group of friends traveling together, this is a great apartment, and can handle 6 or even 7 people. We would definitely stay there again!

Thank you, Filippo, for helping to make our stay in Roma a memorable one.

Filipo's apartment is great and so is Filipo. He arranged for a taxi to bring us from the airport which was great because we were new to Rome and speak no Italian. He always responded to our emails and always answered our phone calls when we had questions. The apartment is very quiet and clean. We stayed with two other guests so the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms  were a real plus. WiFi service was good. We loved having the elevator although it is only up 3 floors. 
The location is great for tourists, close to the Colosseo, Metro and great restaurants all nearby. Filipo gave us good recommendations for food etc, but there so many good places to eat that it's hard to go wrong.
We would stay here again if we are ever lucky enough to return to Rome.

What an amazing trip, and a huge part of it was the apartment location and comfort. We had a party of five with three seasoned travelers and two very "green" travelers. The host, Filippo, arranged for us to be picked up by a taxi at the airport which was less expensive at 70 Euro than purchasing 5 train tickets. When we arrived, Filippo gave us a great introduction including a map of the local area as well as one of the Rome metro area.
He recommended several local restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Heed his choices. We had a meal at a restaurant called Vecchia Roma - place looks like nothing from the outside and they don't even open until 7PM. Go there - you won't be disappointed! You may have to make reservations a day in advance however. Just go in and if they are full, head to the back to sign up for the next night.
As for the apartment, it is clean and very functional. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is useful, especially if you've gotten food from the open markets. You are a 15 minute walk to the Colloseum and about 30-45 minutes to Piazza Navona, Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. We alternated between the Metro and walking, but the Metro station (Vittoria Emmanuel) is only a 2 block walk. Everything is so convenient, yet you are in a less busy section of the city.
The main drawbacks can't really be avoided. The street is noisy outside - expect the garbage men to come at 1-2AM each night, and the showers might be difficult to manage for non-Europeans or those with limited mobility because of the design of the tub. It is a large step to get into the shower and it takes some getting used to working.
Other than that, the apartment was great. Filippo was very attentive and on a day's notice, he also arranged for a taxi to take us back to the airport. The place comes furnished with linens and towels and a few rolls of toilet paper. It was an excellent place to make our trip to Italy memorable!

We enjoyed staying in Rome in this apartment very much. We are very
thankful to Filippo, the owner of the apartment. He provided us with
all the necessary details for our happy staying: nearest supermarkets,
restaurants, pizza and so on. He also ordered taxi for our departure.
Thank you, Filippo! The apart is spacy, well eguipped and has a cozy
balcony. It's conveniently located in a safe area and it's 10-15
minutes walk to Colosseo and 2 minutes walk to the nearest metro
station Vittorio Emanuele. It took us minutes to get to any place of
interest in Rome. It's also nice just to walk from the apartment to
downtown, it takes time but it's worth it. We are missing Rome and our
home in Rome!

Filippo was a charming and generous host, and we loved his apartment.  It was perfect for three of us, and we were pleasantly surprised that it had two full baths.  The location is excellent, quite near a metro station, only about a 10 minute walk to the Colisseum, with some very worthy places to eat nearby.  We felt safe.  The apartment was spotlessly clean.  The kitchen was well equipped.  Filippo was kind enough to arrange several taxi rides for us, which was especially helpful when we arrived at the Rome airport and had a driver waiting for us.  We would gladly stay here again and would happily recommend it to our friends.  Thanks, Filippo, for your hospitality.

My family and I spent 5 nights in this apartment, we were a group of 4 adults and 2 children.
First, the good things about this apartment. Location is very convenient to a number of places, including Termini and metro stations, Colosseo and Forum. The unit is pretty big, with 3 full bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and an additional studio/bedroom, plenty of sleeping room. It is missing a dining area (there is a small table in the corner of one bedroom, not really convenient for 6 people to have a meal).
Now the bad things about this place. At night we found cockroaches in the kitchen and my daugther found a used condom in one of the bedrooms, after 2-3 showers you run out of hot water and need to wait more than 2 hours for the next round of showers, or need to split showers between night and mornings. Don't expect to find the great-looking apartment with plants, flowers, and colorful towels you see in the pictures.

Great place to stay if you would like to explore Rome as tourist! the metro station is only some few steps away from the apartment. The owner of the apartment does an excellent job - he gave us a perfect overview of how to get along in the surroundings of the apartment - which were very usefull! The equipment of the apartment is very good, all you need is there, very spacious and clean! Thank you for the great time in Rome :-)

Très chaleureux accueil, appartement spacieux, lumineux et confortable, dans un quartier permettant un accès facile à de nombreux points d intérêts. Les alarmes des voitures sont malheureusement trop fréquentes la nuit à Rome.

The best part of the apartment rental was the owner.  He did a wonderful job of introducing us to the apartment and just as importantly, the area.  He gave us suggestions for grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops and even left us a computer with a printer to print tickets for sight seeing so we had less time in lines.  Great host!

This apartment was centrally located and very comfortable for ourselves and our friends.  The manager Fillipo, came to meet us and gave us a thorough explanation of everything we might need, also recommended several great restaurants and cafes nearby.
There are two bedrooms <<<<<<<<(twinbeds put together), two baths, comfortable accomodations with additional sleeping for up to 7 people if you had a large group.  
within close walking distance to the Colleseum, and the train station, we enjoyed our stay.  The only thing is there are fans but no air conditioniong, but that was fine for us.

Das Apartment liegt nur 5 Minuten von Bahn und Bus entfernt. Die Wohn- und Schlafräume sind sehr schön. Die Bäder sind etwas klein. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gute Restaurants und Supermärkte befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe.

The apartment was perfect for our party of four.  It is very well situated with a supermarket, bakery, a few cafes/restaurants, etc very close by and a short walk (10-15 mins) from Termini for the bus to/from the airports.  Filippo welcomed us warmly on arrival and provided us with city maps, which were really helpful for finding our way around.   We walked everywhere and only used the metro once, so got to know the centre of Rome pretty well.  The apartment itself was clean and homely, with a balcony overlooking the street to sit and relax.  It was useful having a computer with internet access and the fans in the bedrooms kept us cool at night.  I hope to stay there again on my next visit!

The apartment owner met us upon our arrival and was very welcoming. He toured the apartment with us and explained everything. The apartment is in close proximity to the subway and various other sights. The owner provided us with a map of the city and give us details about local shopping, eating, and supermarkets which was extremely helpful. He was also quick to answer emails about any questions we had. The apartment is very spacious and provided enough space for 4 grown adults.

L'appartement est grand, avec 2 grandes chambres, nous avons aimé y séjourné. A la période où nous y étions, il y avait des travaux dans la rue, ce qui nous réveillait le matin, mais en dehors de cette période, cela doit être assez tranquille.
L'appartement est proche d'une station de métro.
Les baignoires sont très petites, mais peut être c'est le style romain.
Le propriétaire Filippo était très sympathique et disponible.

Nous sommes globalement très satisfaits de l’appartement que nous avons loué : quartier agréable, appartement spacieux , lits confortables.
Une réserve cependant : cet appartement n’est habituellement loué que pour quelque jours et les occupants ne prennent pas leurs repas sur place. Dès lors l’équipement ménager est rudimentaire lorsqu’il faut faire deux repas par jour. Allumer le fourneau à gaz relève du parcours du combattant.

La femme de ménage était impeccable.

Отличная, большая квартира с двумя спальнями и двумя ванными, гостиной, кабинетом с бесплатным интернетом и балконом. Чисто, аккуратно, удобная мебель, вся необходимая кухонная техника.

Конечно, не без недостатков: ванны маленькие, стоять в них неудобно, а по утрам мусорщики на улице очень громко швыряют мусор :).  Но это я придираюсь.

Однако расположение квартиры отличное: метро и магазины рядом, до Колизея и Термини 15-20 минут прогулочным шагом.

Идеальное место для двух пар или компании друзей.

You cannot in any way go wrong with this apt. The owner was there to greet us when we got in and he is absolutly wonderful, he thought of everything. This apt is so much bigger than the pictures would lead you to believe. There is also a wonderful balcony off the computer room. There is absolutly nothing better than sitting on a balcony in the morning watching Rome wake up. The Metro is literally right around the corner and that made life so much easier for the six days we were there. The showers are narrow and I would recommend the one next to the pink room over the bathroom in the hallway. My husband and I were traveling with a friend through Italy and this apt was wonderful for keeping us all out of eachother's space.

Very nice apartment, very good location. The owner was waiting for us in the apartment to show it and told us about all the places nearby (supermarket, food, subway, etc).
It was very well equipped, LCD, DVD, internet, phone line, an all you would need to spend a perfect time in Rome. Perfect for two couples.

We couldn't of asked for more. The apartment owner met us at the apartment. Explained all the ins and outs of the apartment and also told us the best places to eat around where we were staying. It was such a relief to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas at night! This apartment was perfect and very large for the two couples that stayed here. I highly recommend staying here! The apartment was very clean and was well maintained.

Booking, communication etc with Roman Refereance and then Apartment owner made this very straight forward. The apartment owner met us and gave us tips on where to get good coffee, food etc. Supermarket, shops, Metro Stop all within 2 blocks. Short walk to Colesseum etc. Apartment was well kitted out with everything you might need. We stayed with 2 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room.  Only negatives were that the showers were small and no english speaking TV channels so take advantage of the USB/TV hookup and bring own media.

Very nice personal decorated, roomy and cosy apartment. Perfect for 2 couples or 1 couple and 2 children. Central located nearby all the famous sights. The neighbourhood is multiethnic with a vast number of fascinating shops and a very big fleemarket. We have had a wonderfull stay in this apartment.
