SUMMER IN ROME, STUDIO SLEEPS UP TO 4, A/C, WIFI, TV S

My husband and I stayed in Nino's apartment during the first few days of our honeymoon last year. It was a wonderful way to start our trip. The apartment is cozy enough for two, and the access to laundry made it easier for us in terms of packing light.

Nino was wonderfully helpful and hospitable - making sure we knew the neighborhood and all the hidden sights nearby. He is the perfect ambassador for room.

We hope to return to Rome again, and when we do, we will definitely try to stay at Nino's again. HIGHLY recommended.

Nino is a wonderful host, and yes, he does live right next door (the apartments share a main front door). He was very helpful for first-timers in Rome- showing us around the neighborhood, where the grocery store, bus, tram stops, etc, were. The apartment is very clean, spacious, and the neighborhood always felt safe, even walking around in the evening. It was a great value and a good location, even for first-timers! (Note for those with physical limitations: There is a very small weight limited elevator, but first you must walk up a small set of stairs to get to it.)

What a great experience! We stayed at this apartment for 10 days in October 2012. The apartment is located in a residential area which allowed us to be with Rome "natives" vs. tourists. The apartment was quite and the neighbors were quite too. Lovely part of the city and we felt very safe walking around the neighborhood. It was about 1 1/2 blocks from the bus, tram and subway----very easy to get around Rome with this location. There were great local shops very close to the apartment---restaurants, grocery stores, pastry shop (one of the best in Rome), etc. For first-time visitors to Rome, the apartment is close to Borghese Gallery/Gardens. The apartment was VERY clean, neat and had all the comforts of home. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of hanging/drawer space. Bathroom was also clean with a shower (no tub) and we got plenty of towels/linens. Having a kitchen was a great benefit---we ate breakfast in the apartment every day. And although we didn't cook any dinners in the apartment, the kitchen was certainly equipped to do so. Dishes, glasses, pots, pans, etc. Best of all was having Gaetano, the owner, next door to us. He was so helpful and friendly. He helped us figure out the bus/subway/tram logistics each day. He gave great local restaurant information and recommendations. He also gave us input on what sights to see in Rome. He was GREAT! He speaks English very well. He checked on us every night to make sure we had a good experience that day and made sure we knew what we were doing or where we were going the next day. We would highly, highly recommend this apartment to others. We are planning another trip to Rome next year and will definitely stay at Nino's house in Rome again. There were no negatives associated with the apartment, location, or Gaetano. Everything was wonderful. Staying at this apartment helped to make our visit to Rome very special.
