Sleeps 4,1 bedroom apartment. A/C. 1 min from tube,15 min from historic centre

This sunny, stylish and spacious apartment (603 sq.ft., 6th floor with lift) is owned by a Scottish-Italian family who take pride in making it a warm home from home.

Our apartment is located in one of the best connected areas of Rome, Appio-San Giovanni, close to the Old Appian Way, just 15 min. by tube from the historic centre, but you'll be living in a typical Roman area and will be able to mix with the locals, away from the tourist trap. You won't regret it!

The apartment features: spacious bedroom (double glazed window doors opening onto the balcony) with king size bed, fold-up bed suitable for a child, dressing table, wardrobe; large living room with 2 couches (one of which a very comfortable queen size sofa bed), dining table, bookcase, LCD flat screen TV; fully equipped kitchen; bathroom with shower; hall with extra wardrobe; balcony where you can sit at the end of the day with a glass of wine watching the world go by.

About IRENE

I inherited this flat from my parents and am very attached to it. I was born and brought up in Scotland and 'brought over' to Italy when my parents retired, but I've been living here a lifetime and now consider Italy as home, although I often think fondly of my childhood in Scotland. It was my sons’ idea that I rent this flat out to tourists. I decided to give it a try and have been happily welcoming people from all over the world since August 2006. I would love to welcome you too.

What makes this apartment unique

The flat has a homely atmosphere and is close to everything: supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, 'pizzerias and gelaterias', boutiques, banks, internet cafés, car hire, open air fruit and vegetable market, etc. The location is fantastic. From the balcony you have a beautiful view of the hills to the south of Rome and the Via Appia Nuova. The underground stop is right at the doorstep, and bus stops too, which means you reach the historic centre in 15 minutes and there's no walking to do when you come back at night with weary feet. You will be living in a typically Roman area and be able to mix with the locals. If you get tired of city life and want a breath of fresh air, go and visit the Caffarella Park. It's just short walk away and is the most significant remaining example of ancient countryside in the city. You'll see many monuments from different ages, besides sheep grazing here and there and a good few vegetable gardens.

One of the main assets of our property is that it is right at an A-line Metro (subway) stop - Colli Albani. The A-line Metro was built to connect all the main tourist attractions, from the Old Appian Way to the Vatican, so our apartment combines the advantages of an affordable price with easy access to the historic centre. All the major sights can be reached in a few minutes. Buses are also widely available. There are many supermarkets nearby and a great mix of shops, banks, ATM's, internet cafés, restaurants, bakeries, pubs, 'pizzerias and getaterias', all in close proximity, not to mention the daily open air fruit and vegetable market. We are located along the Via Appia Nuova, one of Rome's best shopping areas and just a short walk away from the 'Valle della Caffarella' park (part of the 'Appia Antica Regional Park'), which nature lovers might want to visit as it is the most significant remaining example of ancient countryside in the city. For more details see: www.parcoappiaantica.it/en.

Guarded garage nearby and on street parking for those of you who plan to hire a car.

Fantastic apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: April 9, 2009 Stayed: March 2009
The apartment is very spacious and clean. We stayed with our 9 month old daughter (Irene provided a cot) and it would also suit a larger family than this. It is perfectly located within a minutes walk to the metro and even less time to the bus stop. There are a couple of shops across the road and some 'local' restaurants - off the main tourist trap. We were met on our arrival by Irene who was very helpful and kind and who made sure we had everything we needed. She also kindly helped us with details of a local doctor when our little girl was poorly. It was good to know that there was someone who could speak fluent English who could help us if needed.
I would highly recommend this apartment.

A perfect appartment

5 of 5
Submitted: March 30, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We (two parents and 1 child) used the appartment for five days. We enjoyed very much staying in the appartment which is very clean, fully equipped with all people need. The surrounding is perfect and very close to busses stations and the Metro. Also to supermarkets and resturants.
Irene welcomed us with muffens and explanations about main things.
The only thing which is not perfect is the street noise, for those that are sensitive to such noises.

We had a lovely 3 day stay in this very nice apartment. We was met on arrival by the very helpful Irene who even left us milk and fresh cakes which we all very much enjoyed.We found the apartment very clean and spacious with everything you would need. It is in a great location within easy reach of the metro and the bus station which takes you straight to all the attractions. There was Mcdonalds, a Supermarket, a pizzeria restaraunt called Casali Gasperini that made homemade , Fresh food We all loved the pizza's. Also there was a lovely ice cream parlour called Billy's ice cream that we all enjoyed, In all we had a lovely stay & would recomend to family & freinds,The lovely Irene could'nt do enough for us from beginning to end, Once again Irene a big thank you for our lovely stay & iam sure we will meet again!!!

Great location, apartment etc

5 of 5
Submitted: October 24, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Stayed at Irene's apartment for one week, and I could find nothing to say against it. Location is ideal, just south of the City but so easy to get around - the buses and metro are on the doorstep. The information folder provided is full of detailed advice and travel guidance, I couldn't go wrong.

Local shops are right there too, (including Billy's Ice Cream!), so no car is needed at all. Irene arranged the transfer to and from the airport and it was totally reliable and punctual.

The apartment itself is equipped with everything that you could possibly need and then a little bit more, and it seems that nothing is too much trouble. Despite being a lone female traveller, I felt totally secure and comfortable in the apartment and in the neighbourhood. I knew too that Irene was keeping an eye out for me!

Highly recommended.

Un très bel appartement et un séjour mémorable

5 of 5
Submitted: October 14, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Nous avons eu quatre jours merveilleux à Rome. L'appartement est fidèle aux photos, très propre et bien rangé. La salle de bain est fonctionnelle, la douche a un bon débit et nous n'avons pas manqué d'eau chaude. Nous avons utilisé la cuisine seulement pour le petit déjeuner, mais toute la vaisselle nécessaire est disponible. Nous préférions profiter des deux pâtisseries à proximité, une petite juste à côté de la porte d'entrée et une plus grande de l'autre côté de la rue, où ils servent d'excellents cappucinos. À droite de la grande pâtisserie, il y a une épicerie et en traversant la rue à gauche de la pâtisserie, il y a un kiosque à journaux où un gentil monsieur vend des billets d'autobus et de métro. Si on continue, quelques pas dépassés le kiosque, une petite trattoria avec terrase offre de très bons repas à des prix très raisonnables. Pour ce qui est du transport en commun, le terminus d'autobus est à 15 secondes et le métro à 30 secondes de marche respectivement. Ce qui m'amène à parler du bruit de la rue qui est très acceptable le jour, mais qui pourrait déranger certaines personnes la nuit. Nous avons dû fermer les fenêtres mais nous pouvions mettre la climatisation, alors c'était très confortable et silencieux. Je dois aussi vous parler de notre hôte Irene, qui a été très disponible et accueillante. Elle a préparé tout un cartable plein de bons conseils et de suggestions de visites. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à Rome et l'appartement d'Irene et nous le recommandons fortement.
Owner's Response: Merci bien Sylvie. Je suis très heureuse que vous avez passé des bonnes vacances chez nous. Un petit mot à propos du bruit de la rue la nuit: je trouve que l'appartement est beaucoup plus silencieux quand on ferme les fenêtres (double vitrage) qui donnent sur la rue principale et laisse ouvertes les fenêtres de la cuisine et de la salle de bain, qui donnent sur la rue sécondaire.
J'espère vous revoir. Salutations à toute la famille, Irène
