| When I saw this apartment online, I knew instantly that this is where I wanted to stay and I had very high expectations for the apartment. I can honestly say 100% that my expectations were met. My boyfriend and I stayed for four nights in early April and had a fantastic stay. Initial contact with the owner through email and the website, worked out well. He was very responsive to my questions and was also very helpful. Upon arrival, he showed us around and how things worked in the apartment which was great for us so we didn't have any surprises. And, he had a booklet of helpful info - where to go to get this or that, which cafe has good coffee, where to go for good food, etc. Another huge benefit for us was that it had Internet, and I very much enjoyed sitting on the terrace and relaxing. It was perfect. We enjoyed the location too - close enough to things, but not in the center of the tourist attractions (i.e. the Colessum, etc.) We ate at a few restaurants near the apartment and enjoyed Henry Cow across the street, though there are several others nearby that were good as well. |

We spend 6 days in Rome and enjoyed every second of stay. Apartment was nice, very clean and cozy, the location is excellent. It is nothing better than to feel you are home so far from your own hose. You will never get anything like that at the hotel room.
Just try it by yourself and you will love it as much as we do.

My husband and I spent five wonderful nights here in November of 2008. What a wonderful find. We are bridge teachers on land and cruise ships. We disembarked our ship quite early and had such a lovely drive into Rome. Although we arrived too early, the apartment was ready for us. It is in a wonderful part of the city, quiet, and yet close to everything, with great transportation. The shops for cheese, fress meat and produce can't be beat. There are also some very acceptable restaurants within easy walking.
The terrace is the best, even in November we had a lovely lunch, all purched from the local merchants. If you stay here, you will feel very special.
As some one else said, the mattress is hard, but overall the apartment is a dream.
Regards,

This apartment is conveniently situated in Rome, a short distance from the train station.
It has a comfortable bed, nice TV, computer, wifi, lovely terrace with plants. Oh and it has a piano, too!
We were there in the winter. After staying in other cold apartments in Italy, it was nice to be situated in a place that was warm when you needed it.
Having a bathtub was wonderful! The hot water (from an on-demand boiler) is sometimes only lukewarm, esp. if you try to run too much hot water at once; you have to tweak it just right, but with practice, you can have a nice bath.
The owner, Niccolo, is gracious and willing to quickly smooth out any problems that will come your way. If your stay is like ours, you will enjoy yourselves. |

Me and my boyfriend stayed in the apartments for 5 days and it was wonderful!
The owner is very nice and kind and was very welcoming. The apartment is in a good location, very safe area and 10-15 minutes walk from Piazza Spagna, Trevi Fountain etc...
The kitchen is very functional and has eveything you'll need and more, there is a large bed , 24 hours suply of hot water and the most important thing- a beautiful balcony we enjoyed for having coffee and breakfast.
We truly recommend this flat, it made our trip even better. We will surely come back when will revisit Rome.

| My friend and I recently spent 3 nights at this property and were very pleased with it. The apt. was nicely furnished, spotlessly clean, and everything was in working order. Due to rainy weather we were not able to use the outdoor terrace as much as we would have liked, but it is a definite plus. Via Flavia is right in the middle of things but there is not a lot of traffic and it is very quiet at night. There are good restaurants everywhere and grocery shopping is close by. It is quite a walk to some of the major sights, such as the Colosseum, but doable. If you're not in the mood for exercise there is a metro station in easy walking distance and we found the system cheap and easy to negotiate. |

| We enjoyed our four-week stay in this apartment very much and felt very much at home. There are good food shops within two blocks of the apartment, so we were able to cook at home each night. The nighttime traffic on Via Flavia was light and the soundproofing good, so we had quiet nights. We found the mattress too firm for our tastes, but were able to adjust to it. The landlord is very nice and speaks very good English. He handled all of our needs with grace and charm. We loved the large balcony of the apartment and also enjoyed access to the rooftop patio. We enjoyed the TV, with extensive English language programming, and good internet access. The efficient air conditioning was a bonus. |

| The apartment is lovely and the terrace exquisite. The location is very good, and the small, quiet street (via Flavia) has many restaurants and food shops. The owner is extremely pleasant and helpful. Apartment has a computer with free Internet, as well as fresh linens and cleaning every week. Can't imagine that there is a better place to stay in Rome for this price. |

| Flavia Rooftop 1 is a beautiful apartment which includes a marvelous balcony filled with flowers and warm breezes. We found the apartment to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy our visit to Rome. It is perfectly located near shopping for delicious foods and wines. The bus stop is a mere block away. You can travel anywhere in the city! We highly reccommend this special bright and cheerful apartment to all wishing to have a a wonderful vacation and home away from home in Rome. |

| We are currently staying in the apartment and a "favorite" part of our trip to Rome is returning "home" each night. There are local neighborhood meat, cheese, vegetable and even spice shops that have made it possible for us to cook at home each night. And there are also good restaurants nearby. We cannot imagine returning to a hotel room after walking and touring each day. We feel at home. |

| Flavia Rooftop 1 is a beautiful little apartment filled with light and comfort in a nice neighborhood. This was our first trip to Rome and we found the charming owner extremely helpful and generous. We were delighted with the outdoor terrace filled with flowering plants even in November! The location is good for walking anywhere. And at last we found our "dream" Italian restaurant just around the corner! We definately would love to stay here again when in Rome! |

as an expat originally from rome i need from time to time an accomodation when i come back there. i've already stayed twice in this apartment and hopefully i'll come again. having a certain experience in travelling and knowing well my town i can say that the place is very good.
it perfectly accomodates a couple and even a third person. equipment and furniture are high level and comfortable. kitchen and bathroom are wide and clean. heating and airco. there is also a very spacious terrace.
cable tv, hi fi, internet with pc and even skype are provided.
location is ideal, at walking distance from main train station (termini), but in a good neighborhood! so transfer to and fro airport is easy. same for public transports. via veneto, villa borghese are close, as the historical center. shops, cafés and restaurants in the surrounding streets.
price is very convenient, so must go !!!
