So happy we chose this place! It’s built over the Roman ruins — literally! And of note if you’re looking for it, just across the street and diagonal from the Synagogue. There were trattorias right at the doorway and the Tiber River is across the main street. Walking is possible to almost every main attraction and is recommended as we tried to catch public transportation on our departure date and got quite lost ending up in places of Rome unknown! So it is recommended to bring comfortable walking shoes and see Rome the original way. The best way to arrive is by taxi … it’s just easier! The hosts was kindly helpful and the place was so comfortable, since we all had our individual bed! We loved it.

We stayed 3 nights before our cruise. The accommodations were perfect. It is difficult to find affordable accommodations for a group of 8. This was perfect. A very safe neighborhood with lovely restaurants. I really could not have had a better experience. Thank you so much.

This property is in an amazing location. Unfortunately the inside of the apartment is a bunch of stuff from a ww2 surplus store. Beds are stained and mold in bathroom. The owner said the previous tenant broke the dishwasher however we thought father time had broke it. If the owner fixed up this place it would be a 5 star. We did really enjoy the neighborhood and location. Would recommend this place based upon the things we liked about it.
