  : Loved the service here. We had a late flight at 9pm and asked for late check out. Staff were very kind to let us check out later. Not many places would be this kind and it really made me love this place more.
  : The distance from the city centre. Was very far to get out and found buses slow and to full. We had get a taxi to city centre and back for 2 weeks.was very expensive nearly 18 each way.

  : The apartment is located in a residential neighbourhood, and it takes about a 30-minute walk to reach the Vatican. There is a bus stop very close to the apartment. The apartment itself is spacious.
  : We chose the apartment because it was specified to have free parking. However, it turned out that the garage and the access to it were so narrow that it was only suitable for small cars. We were not warned about this in advance, even though I specifically asked the host about the garage. It was a big disappointment for us because we had to pay extra for parking elsewhere. If you're arriving with a larger car, it's better to look for parking elsewhere up front.

  : We loved the location: in Monteverde (our preferred area), close to supermarket, great ice cream, several excellent restaurants.We also loved that this appartment is in a building of standing, clean, with concirge Claudio, with an entrance that feels like Eden.The position of the apartment in the building means that it is quite peaceful, a plus in Rome.We liked the space, the sliding doors and the beds. Plenty of storage in the bedrooms.We also liked the HomeTop team (managing the property): they were very reactive and came to our shower rescue (see below) and also delivered the missing kitchen towel. Sadly they, too, could not het the small shower to work.
  : The floor was really dirty on arrival; in no time our socks and feet were really black, which is how we found out. We bought slippers!The bathrooms are below standard: especially the showers: NO water pressure; only the rain shower works so so (and this only after intervention by the management company, who replaced the cable and shower handle). The other shower is not only mini but unusable, since only cold water dripping. No place in shower or next to sink to put your soap, shampoo or any stuff. Bottomline, you all end up sharing the same rain shower. Sadly, this has been mentioned before: clearly the owners do not want to address this, which is a shame because the appartment could be really perfect!The absence of a microwave has also been flagged before. Dishwasher now does work very well. Initially we had no kitchen towel (thank you again HomeTop team).

  : The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated. There is a separate bedroom with a small on suite bathroom and lots of storage space in the room. There is also a much larger modern bathroom with a very spacious shower. The main room was a nice size with a sofa and round dinning table with chairs. There is a side kitchen with every thing you could need (except microwave oven). The apartment was very clean as were the bathrooms. Large windows in main room and bedroom let in lots of light. Lighting in main room was great. Bed very comfortable. There is also a small bedroom with single bed and the room is set up to be also used as a study. Wi fi was good. There is also a small balcony. The area is very quiet. No disturbances at all. There is a large supermarket 2 blocks away. The apt is on first floor with elevator. Very safe neighborhood. Check in was advertised at 16:00, but they made a great effort to check us in early and we appreciated that Simona was waiting outside to greet us and show us the apartment. There is also a washing machine and clothes rack to dry the clothes. For those that keep kosher, there is a kosher butcher and bakery 3 blocks away. A really great place to stay.
  : The only negative for some people might be that it is not close to the attractions of Rome. You will need to take two buses to get to the attractions. Bus number 44 (turn right when you leave apt and walk 4 blocks to bus stop across from gas station) takes about 10 minutes to get to Viale di Trastevere at the Ponte Garibaldi bridge and there you can catch other transportation to various parts of the city. For us this wasn't a problem. Bus number 44 runs only once between 25-40 minutes so check schedule on Google maps.
