LUXURY AND CHARMING APARTMENT COMPLETELY RESTORED NEAR COLOSSEO AND FORUM STREET

I stayed in the Via Leonina apartment from Jan 24, 2013 to March 13, 2013, and I could not have found a more perfect apartment. It is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and as my title above says, it was truly my home for nearly seven weeks. The apartment has all the amenities that a visitor could want: a full-sized refrigerator, wifi that is easy to use and which worked perfectly the whole time I was there, a wonderful washer in the bathroom. As if the apartment itself weren't enough, the Monti rione is one of the most amazing and exciting in Rome. The apartment sits around the corner from La Piazza della Madonna dei Monti and is one of the most popular places for young and old to hang out throughout the day and evening. The apartment is also very convenient to the Metro and many bus lines along Via Cavour and Via Nazionale. As I have already mentioned to Martina and Tancredi, if this apartment is available when I return to Rome, I will certainly plan to stay here. Quest' appartamento era un sogno. Lo adoro e anche questo quartiere. Martina e Tancredi, grazie mille per tutto! Saluti!

I spent 10 nights in this property. It is exactly how it is shown in the pictures. You will find a spacious and clean place to stay in the heart of the historic center of Rome. It is a less than 10-minute walk to the Roman Forum and Palatine. The neighborhood is full of restaurants and bars, not to mention the gelaterias where you can indulge yourself into the gelato world. Great stay!

First time in Rome, I can't believe I was brave enough to rent an apartment, not knowing the city or the owner! I followed instructions to take the Metro from the train station which was easy enough. However, it was POURING RAIN when we exited the Metro station (and we didn't have umbrellas because we were planning on nothing less than perfect weather). Well, we bought two umbrellas from a street vendor (is this New York?) and found our way just a few blocks to this lovely apartment. Chiara was waiting to meet us and show us around. The apartment was fantastic! It was exceptionally clean, really spacious, the bathroom was beautiully done and quite roomy also.
good quality sheets and towels, even a blowdryer. I loved the view, the Italian charm, the street, everything! There is even a washing machine, which we would have used had we stayed more than a few days. The building is quiet and the bedroom is at the rear so it's super quiet. There are many restaurants and shops up and down the neighborhood streets. The Colosseum is practically around the corner. We walked to the Trevi Fountain our first night. We bought the Roma Pass and found it invaluable for the transporation, which is easy to figure out. We used the Metro system as well as a couple of buses. There is free wifi here and it's easy to use. We did not get a chance to meet Mancredi, the owner, but he was very good at communicating with me prior to my arrival and always answered my questions. I was totally impressed with this apartment. It was a great value and I found it relaxing to stay here rather than a hotel. This is one of the few apartments I contacted that allowed a three night stay. Most wanted a minimum of five nights. We checked out the roof terrace. It was a nice bonus, but we didn't spend any time up there as we were out late each night. I would recommend this to apartment to anyone and certainly would not hesitate to stay here again.
