All as was listed

Unlike some places I have stayed, this one was exactly as promised except location which was even better than I expected. Checking in was very easy and both Olga and Manuel were very accommodating about the timing. There were four of us arriving at different times and we had no problem. I most highly recommend this rental to anyone needing up to 7 sleeping spots.

Great Location and amazing place

firstly, it is a great location, fifth floor (with two person elevator) overlooks Tiber, near Campo d' Fiore and walking distance to many great sites. the advert isn't exactly correct on bedrooms. it has a large master bedroom with nice king size bed and a full bath (no tub), an upstairs low headroom loft has a nice king size bed and full bath (huge jetted tub doesn't work) but shower does. There is a nice king size pullout sofa on first floor in office and a twin bed in a loft both that share a 3rd full bath) so 3 bedrooms 3 full bath and an office with a king pullout sofa. all beds reported as sleeping well. the building water pressure is funky as all showers would flow stop for a second and flow again, once you understood how it worked, it wasn't an issue.it's quite large. we ended up using the outdoor table and the TV room for most gatherings. kitchen has everything, the wood burning stove didn't have any accoutrements. no napkins or paper towels provided, a surprise to us as plating food first time.the caretaker doesn't speak fluent English but his mixture of italian, spanish, english and pantomine communicated effectively, would rent again

Great location

It was ideally located near the Vatican, the Colosseum and Trastevere. We used the bus system which was a close walk. Love having a supermarket and gelato shops so close by. It was spacious and had a washer and dryer which was so convenient. The apartment was decorated with very interesting art and a lot of books and we enjoyed the pool table.

Center of it all in Rome, Italy

This extremely charming and sophisticated apartment lies in the center of Rome providing guests easy access to all of Rome's most celebrated sites and landmarks. The apartment is very much a traditional home and provides ample space for settling in and relaxing after a long day of site seeing. The decor is classic and ideal for someone who wants to experience Rome in an authentic Italian-style home.

Stepping Back in Time

This apartment's character was second to none! The building dates back to the 1700s and you can feel the old charm, but with all the modern amenities. Centrally located and with beautiful decks to enjoy listening to church bells in the evening with a glass of vino.

This is Rome!

This apartment is extremely spacious and rustic. I loved the old world feel and decor. We didn’t get to use the kitchen but it was very inviting. The roof-top terrace was beautiful! My only minor concern was the curtains & furniture covers. I feel like they need an update/thorough washing. But the owner was super nice and helpful and quick to respond. What an amazing life they must have lived there❤️ I am thankful to have stumbled upon this property.

Great location. Not really adequate for 8 adults

The location of the apartment is terrific. Walkable to all the major sites. The terrace outside is wonderful in the morning sun. AC worked well, and it was hot when we were in room. There is an old pool table in the property, but not usable due to torn felt. The shelves are filled with books on many subjects giving it a very lived in feel. The beds were not adequate for 8 adults. One of the double beds is a fold out couch in a common room. Another is a day bed which would work fine for children. It also helps if 4 of the adults are very short, as 2 of the bedrooms have extremely low ceilings. The coffee pot carafe was broken, and not replaced. Be prepared to buy or bring dishwashing soap, toilet paper and paper towels. The elevator worked fine and was helpful with moving luggage.

Fantastic location and large old apartment full of the owner's character

We loved our stay here and the location was perfect for us. I picked the property for the size and location and was fully prepared by previous reviews for both the charm and the wear of the apartment - it is in one of the oldest streets in Rome and very central. The only caution is that I did not pick up until just before we went that the third bedroom is in fact a sofa bed in the study with no closet or drawer space. And that to access the second bedroom you needed to go through the study as it is in the roof. This may not present an issue for a family but was awkward for our group. The stairs up to both the second bedroom and the daybed room were too steep for the elderly couple of the party and they could not have slept on the sofa bed due to the inevitable thinness of the mattress. The single day bed in the fourth room was too small and too hard to be of much help so in my view this is a 2 bedroom property with a sofa bed in the study. There were 3 bathrooms and 3 sofas as well as 2 armchairs in the lounge which meant that the promise of plenty of space for multiple people was there. Provided that this works for your group or family you will not be disappointed. We did not use the dining room or the room with the pool table as it was a very hot week and the air conditioning needed to be focused on the rooms we were using. As noted elsewhere the pool table is not useable and if I was the owner I would consider removing it and making this room into a proper bedroom.

Amazing Rome department

This apartment situated in the center of Rome is like a fairytale. Beautifully decorated and filled with culture. We enjoyed the terrace in the evenings and during the days it was near to everything. The only minus was the beds. Only two very good beds, the rest weren’t to good.

Great Location! Very Authentic, Italian home with tons of character!

Our stay was nice, the property was very unique and full of really neat historic pieces. We were there in the heat of the summer so the A/C wasn't quite able to keep up with the heat and some of the furniture needs a little update, so it could have been a bit more comfortable. But the location is great and the apartment is huge!

Location location

The place definitely has old world charm. You cannot beat the location. You are walking distance to everything. Colosseo, Forum, Circus Massimo, pantheon, Trevi fountain and Spanish steps are all real close 10 to 20 min. Piazza Navona and even the Vatican is about 20 to 25min walk. The couches and beds are showing some wear.

Gracious apartment in perfect location

My husband and I come to Rome each spring for a month and have stayed in many apartments in many locations. This is the first apartment we would return to again and again. The apartment is very charming. All the photos are accurate. The front of the apartment looks across the Ponte Sisto and the Tiber. ..the back terraces overlook the garden of the Palazzo Spada. All the main floor rooms have large windows or glass doors, so there is no feeling of being closed in. The kitchen is quite usable with a good stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, and clothes washer. The clothes dryer in on the second level. This is a very old and charming apartment...many books and pieces of art. My only caution would be that the third bedroom is up a steep staircase with no railing and just a single bed. That said, this apartment is wonderful and in a perfect location.

Sleeps seven, three bedrooms?

The location was excellent. The apartment is like a museum. Great art and a huge selection of books. The apartment needs major care and maintenance. During heavy rain we had to put out pots under leaks in the upstairs bathroom. It would have been a five star stay except for the bed/sleeping situation. Two bedrooms had comfortable beds...one was exceptionally nice. The third bedroom had a small single day bed, not a double bed. The other bed was an extremely uncomfortable fold out bed in a non private sitting room. Imagine two people trying to sleep in a bed shaped like a bowl while people who had an upstairs bedroom would walk through. In reality, the apartment had two and a half bedrooms with sleeping for five, with the option of two more sleeping in a non private sitting room, using a fold out bed.

Great location... needs some TLC

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved the location of the apartment and the overall size of the place, however the unit is very outdated and some things need to be replaced. This apartment has a very unique character to it. Some recommendations would be to replace all the towels, they are very worn and feel like sandpaper. We had to replace a light bulb and others we could not figure out which switch turns them on. There are no English directions for anything in the house and Manuel as nice as he is when he greeted us does not speak much English. The pool table is not playable as it is ripped and there is not a full set of balls. The room where this is at would be better suited to be another bedroom as the third one is really not a usable space. The stairs to get up to it are very steep and there is no hand rail. I did enquire to Olga about the missing hair dryer and she did get back to me right away but we ended up buying a new one. One last recommendation would be to remove some of the clutter. Lot's of awards and plaques on tables.
