APPIA PARK APARTMENT farmhouse in the countryside 5 min from the Colosseum -Wi-Fi - Parking

The apt was run down, dirty, very outdated with ineffective appliances including oven, microwave, fridge, A/C and laundry. Old dirty couch, very dusty and even dangerous lighting, Kitchen tools very mismatched and old, no measuring cup, sharp knives nor scissors, no food storage containers. Definitely not up to American rental standards. Bedbugs, mosquitoes. Some windows couldn’t lock tight. No acceptable clothing storage. Did I mention bedbugs? Yes, but the owns totally replaced mattresses and bedding, however, they did nothing to kill possible infestations in couch or other locations! The owners were responsive when contacted and helpful in many ways for us.

We were very pleased with our 2 night stay here. Very nice and comfortable apartment in a wonderful location across from the Appian Park. Perfect in every way.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. Very convenient to have full kitchen and a clothes washer. Clean and private.

The property is situated among other apartments on the ground floor. On one of the evenings we had the upstairs resident move furniture and make noises from 11:30pm to 2:45am. It was impossible to sleep. I made a complaint to the owner the next morning, and she clearly spoke to that resident, as the resident met me and apologized. This to me was very welcomed and I was impressed by the owners and their commitment to our stay. Over all it was a good stay, and I was very pleased with the experience.

We had a very pleasant stay for a week in this remarkable quiet part of Rome. We will surely recommend it to all our friends. There is no traffic noise at all and you can sit outside from breakfast to late at night. The house is situated in a green court yard away from the main roads in a business area adjacent to the Via Appia Park. No noise from the businesses around either. Excellent starting point for bike rides and walks. Public transport to the city centre is best from Piazza dei Navigatori. The short cut from Via Leon Pancaldo to Via Ardeatina, starting at the end of the parking area next to the Church St Francesca Romana in Via Luigi Capucci was difficult to find. You have to enter an iron gate to find the foot path. We had bad luck that heavy rains created a mud flow on the path, but it was cleared immediately the next day. Cornelia from the Netherlands

Away from the airport and central Rome - absolutely quiet at night. Parking was next to the front door, inside of a gated courtyard. 200 yards from the Appia Antica (Appian Way), the ancient cobblestone road to Rome! The house is almost inside of the central section of the Parco Dell' Appia Antica, where we could walk to the catacombs and aqueducts. It's two blocks to a 24 hour grocery store, and to the bus stops to all of Rome. Andrea could not have been a better host. Kind and gracious. His knowledge of Rome extends from the history of the city, to the best emergency rooms! (Yes, he led us to one for a minor problem, when we didn't know where to go) We had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to have access to the city, and quiet security at night.

everything was fine

Very friendly host. Nice apartment with a lovely place to sit outside in shadow in the morning and in the evening. Not far from good supermarket and bus to central Rome.

My 16-year-old son and I spent 5 days at Andrea's apartment. Andrea picked us up from the train station - thank you again Andrea! The place was really big for our needs, but also very convenient with the two bedrooms and bathrooms. All machines were in working order and the flat is very well maintained indeed. A big plus is the little outside area which is nice and shady. The house is in a very safe and quiet location, no street noise at all … however, the other tenants are very close with cars stopping and starting literally centimetres from the bedroom window. Somebody had visitors until late and although I can't say the people were particularly noisy, there was still loud conversation and cars and motorbikes coming and going until 1 o'clock in the morning, right outside the bedroom window. Another night there was a dog barking … you get the picture. However, we come from the countryside so this might have troubled us more than other people who are used to having their neighbours at close proximity. All in all, our stay at Andrea's was a very pleasant one :-)
