| Our party of four adults stayed in the apartment in early October. It was just great. Everything you could ask for...clean, great location, wonderful service, spacious, and all the little extras that make for a wonderful experience. We usually stay in apartments when we visit Rome (regularly)and this was by far one of our favorites - Fiora and Nur, the location, and the apartment itself. A++ Thank you. |

We stayed for a week at this lovely apartment
located very close to Piazza Novona. Wow! Why
would anyone want to stay in a hotel when you
could stay here? Fiora has everything super
organized. Folks who meet you, linen changes after
3 days, washer and DRYER (incredibly rare in
Europe). Satellite TV with 3 English stations for
when you kick back at night. You can walk to the
open air market at the Campo de' Fiori, there's a
great forno there for early morning bread runs. If
you're vigorous you can walk to the Vatican, the
Spanish Steps or the Trevi Fountain but certainly to
the Pantheon. You are 1 block from Corso Vitt.
Emmauel from there you can catch a bus anywhere.
Plus the apartment is beautiful and the
neighborhood is happening... lots of shops, bars
and restaurants, a beehive of activity but the
apartment is quiet enough. I want to go back! |

| We stayed in this welcoming apartment for 3 nights during our stay in Rome. Fiora and Nur were both so helpful in making sure everything was perfect!! You can't ask for a better or more convenient neighborhood--be sure to explore the immediate neighborhood before setting out to see all the beautiful sights Rome has to offer. Our best meals were in restaurants literally within 5 minutes from the apartment. They arranged transportation to and from the airport which was great for us to not have to worry about that. We were a family of four ( with 2 teenage boys)and another couple; and the apartment was perfectly sized for our group. Wonderful place, wonderful city!!! |

Stay: 1 week in September 2009 - 2 Couples
My husband and I have both previously studied
abroad in Rome and knew this apartment's location
provided the ideal location to stay with my parents
who were vacationing for the first time in Rome. It
allowed great ease with proximity to reach all the
highlights including the Vatican and all the
necessities with being in a dense inner city
neighborhood (shopping, markets, grocery,
reasturants, etc.). The apartment was superb!
Since the apartment photos have been posted, they
have remodeled a bit for the better - the kitchen
was moved from an enclosed room (now a second
bedroom with two beds on the main floor) to just
off of the living room where the dining room is
pictured (the dining table is now tucked nicely
under the staircase). Having this second bedroom
and the two full bathrooms really allowed for each
couple to spread out and get ready without having
to juggle space - ensuring that we made it out
early, leaving lots of time to hit the sites. Having
the washer and dryer was also handy as we packed
less and allowed us to wash up heading into the
second part of our trip. The place offered
everything we needed and the wireless internet
allowed us to plan each night for the upcoming
day. We appreciated all of Fiora & Nur's help - they
arranged for a driver at the airport (at a good price)
and made themselves accessible if we needed
anything - we also liked that Fiora lives around the
corner. They include an informational portfolio that
includes emergency phone numbers, ways to reach
them and instructions to operate things around the
apartment (including if you blow a fuse - though
we did not). Our one suggestion would be to
include instructions for the washing machine. Fiora
and Nur, thanks for offering a great place to stay at
a fair price during our vacation time in Rome. We
recommend this place to all!!! |

We had a lovely stay in this well located, cosy,
comfortable apartment. Excellent little market,
restaurants and shops very close by and we walked to
all the major sites. Nur was very sweet and helpful,
met us promptly when we arrived and checked in on
us during our stay. What more could you ask? |

We spent a week in this beautiful apartment in
April 2009. My two children slept in the living
room, in separate beds, and my husband and I had
the large upstairs bedroom. Since my daughter is
14 and can spend much time in the bathroom, the
second bathroom was a real stress reducer. The
TV provided more stations than we have in Zurich,
which was a big hit with the children. We also used
the DVD player, the internet, and maps provided in
the flat. The staff and owner were very responsive
and helpful, and as already stated in other reviews,
the location it the best. I would stay here again
and gladly recommended it to anyone planning to
visit Rome.

| My husband and I brought our two small children to Rome in March, 2009. As the others have said, it is the absolute perfect location. We walked to every historical site imaginable. Didn't need to take a bus or taxi once except to and from the airport. Fiora and her team were wonderful and very helpful. My daughter has a tree nut allergy, so before our trip, Fiora translated a message for us into Italian that we could give to the restaurants where we ate. Upon our arrival, she had a list of hospitals by the phone (thankfully we never needed it). Every time we had a question or needed something, umbrella or whatever, someone from Fiora's office was right there. The place was nice and clean. But be careful not to have too many appliances/lights going at once. We blew a fuse twice. Luckily, someone from Fiora's office was right there to fix it. |

| Enjoyed a wonderful week there the last week of June,'09. Fiora's English is excellent and his assistant "Nur" is a sweetheart. Fantastic location!Cannot beat having a washer/dryer in the apartment +safe and satell TV (as in CNN,Fox,CNBC).Americans, in using the dryer you must empty the water from the container in the dryer or else it will stop! There's a supermarket closeby too. |

Location, location, location -- with this apartment it is possible to see all of Rome’s important sights without once using public transportation. You can easily walk to the Forum for the day, or anywhere you desire. In fact, stroll to the Piazza Navona for gelatto just because you feel like it. Fiori and her assistant are so very helpful – from stopping by to personally assist with the wireless connection, to booking an early morning cab to the airport. Plenty of good places to eat nearby and also little shops to get fresh bread for breakfast or whatever else you need. Our large (and age diverse) family all enjoyed this apartment. Best of all, we felt surrounded by Italians rather than tourists. After a quick trip to the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain where we found mobs of people, we were SO glad we did not stay in that area.

We had an outstanding stay in this lovely apartment just a two minute stroll from Piazza Navona. The apartment is in a fabulous location, is comfortable and spacious, and our host was gracious and accommodating.
This location is outstanding because of it's proximity to all the sights and because of the neighborhood you are living in. Just outside the locked door to the building, which is attended by a concierge, cobbled streets lead in every direction, filled with small, interesting shops, excellent and fun neighborhood restaurants, a grocery, espresso spots, sights, history, beauty.... All the sights are within easy walking distance and the routes to them are full of interesting things along the way. We never once used transportation. This stay in Rome was so far superior than our prior visits and it was because of where we stayed. This location is a must.
The apartment itself was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The master upstairs is huge, the bed and pillows extremely comfortable, and it was very quiet, situated on the inside courtyard of this building. Large closets, table and chairs, an upholstered chair to read in. Quite lovely. The living room has soaring ceilings and is also very quiet, looks out on a cobbled street, has plenty of comfortable seating to relax in at the end of the day. The whole apartment was clean and we had everything we needed.
Our host was so kind. She thoughtfully supplied us with some unexpected groceries upon our arrival. We happened to ask if there was a toaster and the next day, one of her very nice assistants appeared with a brand new one in hand. Additionally, knowing that we were traveling with our two daughters, she rearranged the furniture and set up the pull out beds for both of our girls, tucking them in on either side of the very large living room, totally out of the way, all set up for our arrival. She was responsive to our every need.
We would highly recommend this apartment. We loved it. |

| We had a wonderful stay in the apartment and it had everything we needed. It is a wonderful location, which was one of the best things about it. We were all comfortable, there are restaurants and markets very close as well as most of the major sites. The owners were wonderful to deal with as well. |
