romantic old roman home

The place was exactly as expected and the host exquisite. I would redo it without hesitation.

The apartment is in an excellent location in Trastevere. Easy to get to everything in Rome. Quiet, with a nice outside space. Riccardo was very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. Bonus that a wonderful bakery is right next door!

Riccardo was a fantastic host from start to finish. Check-in was incredibly smooth, and he personally welcomed me and introduced me to the apartment, making me feel right at home. The place itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a pleasant and relaxing stay.The location couldn’t have been better—just two minutes from the local markets, and five minute walk to supermarket, and some amazing patisseries. There are also plenty of restaurants and gelato spots nearby. It was also very easy to get around, with Tram 8 just a 5-minute walk away (straight to Piazza Venezia) and the H bus offering a direct connection to Roma Termini.Overall, the apartment was perfectly equipped, well-located, and made for a very enjoyable stay. Riccardo was kind, helpful, and always available if we needed anything. His place was like a home away from home. Thank you, Riccardo—I hope our paths cross again!Millie Grazie di nuovo Riccardo tu erano un fantastic host. Kind RegardsDario della Sydney, Australia

My husband and I loved the location. Walking distance to the colosseum, trevi fountain and the basilica. The place was quiet yet close to plenty of restaurants. Air conditioning was fantastic. The suite had everything you would need…even laundry detergent, plenty of hangers and even a book to read while I was there! Our host knew we did not drink so greeted us with pizza upon our arrival which was much appreciated after a long day of travel. He was very accommodating as we were late on arrival and didn’t communicate that with him. It is a bit difficult to locate (as we found many things in Italy to be) just a gate/doorway and then you get into the apartment complex. The shared common area was shaded when we were outside so that was nice. I would stay here again!!!!

My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay at Riccardo’s place. Riccardo was very sweet. He provided clear instructions how to get to his place and met us there. The location was phenomenal. 10 min walk from the park where the view of the whole Rome opens up. Nice coffee shops just at your door. Grocery store - 6 min walk. Where you are looking to cook yourself or eat out - Riccardo’s place was perfect. We will stay with Riccardo in a heartbeat if we are in Rome again.

The owner did not show up. We discovered the key in a mailbox after 2 hours of waiting. We searched in the mail boxes, the name of the owner did not appear anywhere. We were about to settle in a nearby hotel. There were no written instructions concerning the use of appliances or safety measures. The bathroom was full of mould and the door of the shower was broken. The chairs of the dining table were so filthy that we hesitated to sit on them. In general, the apartment had the appearance of a storage of useless and ugly objects just there to fill the space. We have been renting apartments for the past 25 yers. This is our first very disapointing experience and we ask for a refund of 500 euros.

Great location in Trastevere, worked well for me as there was a spot to work in the apartment with good wifi.

The apartment is very small, but well equipped. Hot water, AC, fridge, washing machine, and internet, all worked great. The best part of it by far is its location. Right in the heart of the Trastevere neighborhood and at walking distance to hundreds of cafés (aka bars) and restaurants. It is also at walking distance to the Tevere river. This proved very useful when getting to the Vatican, Saint Peter's Basilica, and Saint Angelo Castle, as the river's bike path, devoid of crossings or red lights, is much faster to walk and certainly bike than the street. We walked to the Colisseum, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish steps from the apartment too, but mostly for fun, as these places are a bit farther out. Dining around the apartment is top notch. So many good places. Overall, this is a great place to stay for a couple that has enough time to enjoy Rome at a slow pace.

The rental is old but clean and comfortable . Adding a microwave would be nice. Locay was great. Close to good public transportation.

All went well.

Great location in Trastevere. The apartment itself was adequate and Riccardo was responsive. Some suggestions that would make this place sensational would be: replace the kitchen table chairs (stained), better job on cleaning, include some chairs/table in the lovely courtyard for guest and a welcome gift and one sheet of paper with apartment info and recommendations would have been nice! Overall we enjoyed the experience that gave us a true Italian experience ?
