10 Reviews of Property 189772 in Termini area (Modern Centre), Italy

We stayed with our 3 young kids in the apartment for a week. The apartment is large and had everything we needed, including all kitchen utensils, washing machine, dishwasher and more. It is also fully air-conditioned

The location was great - close to Metro station, buses, shops (including a large supermarket) and a short walk from Trevi and the Spanish steps.

The apartment is located on a very busy street. The windows blocked the noise well, but we had to keep them closed to avoid the street noise (there are also windows that face the internal patio we could keep open).

There are two double sofa beds, one single sofa bed and two single regular beds in the apartment. We slept on the two single beds and let the kids sleep on the sofa beds (didn't look very comfortable but the kids didn’t complain…).

All in all, it was super convenient stay for us and we had great time in lovely Rome.

My sister and I stayed here in April and thoroughly enjoyed the apartment and the activity on the street. It is Rome! It is noisy and active, but great for people watching. This is a great location to go from to see many sights or catch a cab to go to the Vatican etc. The flat is nicely designed and furnished.

The apartment was spacious, comfortable, cool. Nicola was super helpful. We ordered a bag of food to have on hand upon our arrival ... and it was perfect.

Hardly a bad word could be said about it, but I'll try, just in the spirit of full disclosure. The pullout beds were fine, but they're never really that comfortable. Not a big complaint. Just a heads up. If you're sensitive to pullouts, make sure you call dibs on the regular beds. Plus there's not a ton of separation of the rooms, so not all that much privacy from your roommates.

Also, the location is very central and walkable to everything. What it lacked, however, was a great neighborhood right out the front door. Again, not a big deal, we could walk 5 to 10 minutes. It's just that in the morning or late at night, if you wanted to just pop outside, it's a very busy street with mostly touristy stuff. Think Market Street in San Francisco.

All told, I'd highly recommend. Real value for the buck, no doubt!

Two adults & 2 children fit comfortably...would hate to confine more people in same space. A heavy rain one morning had water pouring in through the bath and hallway electric light fixtures. Manager investigated & said a plugged drain on the terrace above caused the problem; however peeling paint in the bath makes me think that has happened more than once. No extra towels were provided to replace those used to mop up the rain water. We inquired about a clothes dryer before booking...clothes dryer is a portable drying rack...NOT an electric or gas dryer. Drying sometimes took 2 days. Plan accordingly. Apt was clean, but sofa beds were past their prime. Street noise kept the children awake @ nite until we moved them to the kitchen-dining area sofa bed. Good street maps were available for finding our way around. There were DVDs available but satellite TV did not work. Wi-Fi connection was reliable. Bus stops were 1/2 block away as were ATM machines. A pharmacy and grocery store were very nearby as was a book store and several good restaurants, a fresh fruit stand and gelato shop. Metro stop was also close. The walls were thin between our apt and the one next door. We could often hear a baby crying early morning.

Esedra Flat was perfect! After arriving by train, we easily walked to the flat. The location is convenient to all of Rome. It has a nice kitchen and two bathrooms! We walked everywhere. A special treat was the beautiful church "St Paul Within the Walls" which is across the street. We attended 'La Traviata' and a wonderful concert there. Nicola was very helpful with directions and also arranged our Vatican Tour . The flat had everything we needed and was very, very clean and safe. We would recommend this flat and owner.

We stayed at the Esedra flat in April 2010 and had our best family trip to date. The location puts you in the heart of Rome and near most of the major sites: the Trevi Fountain, Coliseum, Forum, Victor Emmanuel Monument, Pantheon and Spanish Steps are all less than a mile away and very accessible by foot. Additionally, the metro station is two blocks away making the Vatican a quick and easy 15 min journey and the hop-on-hop-off tour buses run from the same area. We traveled with five kids (6 months to 10 yrs) and found the flat comfortable and roomy with enough amenities to keep the kids occupied after a long morning of walking to the sites. The flat is ideal for families - walk around all morning, come back and make dinner, then go out in the evening - all without burning out the kids. In case of emergencies, there is a McDonald's on the corner for the kids, and an Irish Pub across the street for dad - perfect! Nicola, the site manager, was very professional, competent and accessible, giving the traveler the comfort of knowing that they are being well looked after. Highly recommended and looking forward to returning. (PS - the site says "Dryer" - it is not a clothes dryer, but a hair dryer)

A very pleasant stay in a clean, large and modern apartment. Good situation and easy to reach. Better than a 4 stars hotel, of course.

This flat is completely renovated and is on Via Nazionale in well cared for building. You reach the apartment through a large double exertior door that is on Via Nazionale. There is a large common hall with an attendant during normal hours (good security) After walking 20 ft on the left is one flight of stairs to walk up. There is no elevator. If you have lots of luggage be aware. It was OK for us, and our 5 bags .

The interior is almost spotless. The kitchen is newish, well equipped but lacks a microwave. The manager said she was going to get one soon for this unit.

There is plenty of hot water and the air conditioning was excellent. There are one and a half baths, new and modern.

The Internet access was a huge plus. The unit gets access through a Linksys wireless G router and uses a public IP address ( make sure your firewall is on ) and utilizes a high speed connection. I worked remotely using Windows Terminal Services and we used Magic Jack to make calls and it worked as if we were in Miami.

The furnishings are a bit sparse. There are two large pullout couch / beds and one pull out bed / chair, plus two single beds in the main bedroom. My wife and daughter slept on the single beds, and I slept on the pullout couch in the 2nd bedroom. My wife indicated the single beds were very comfortable for her and our daughter.

I am 6'3" and 225 lbs, and the pullout bed was king sized, but not too comfortable. Plenty of pillows and linens. I slept with lots of room, but with my sore lower back it was not ideal.

The windows of the unit are right on Via Nazionale and face the Episcopalian church "St. Paul's within the Walls" one story off the street. They are new, excellent, open two ways and offer excellent views of the street and very quiet when closed. We slept with a sound machine at night and heard almost nothing from the street below.

The area is convenient to the Metro station ( 200 yards east) bus transportaion, a grocery store 200 yards west, and a drug store 100 yards west. There is a very nice bookstore 50 yards east, banks and tons of shopping right there. It is very convenient to use the metro to get to the Spanish steps, Vatican, etc.

Finally, our property manager Nicola was A+++, very friendly, responsive, English and spoke Italian fluently. She was waiting for us at the apartment on our arrival to give us a thorough overview. She is available by phone anytime and even arranged our cab for us when we left.
