The hosts created a tour book for the neighborhood complete with pictures and walking instructions so we made it a point to try one each day. We have stayed in other VRBO apartments in Rome and this is the one we would return to again...thank you for the use of your beautiful home. The pictures although nice did not come close to seeing the apartment in person. Favorite parts in the apartment were the kitchen and balcony.

Attention to details our stay was amazing. Meeting the building manager who was super friendly and watched my bags as I got something to eat while I waited for property manager. I met the property manager who showed me through the large apartment giving me tips and instructions. Paolas place is as advertised, fantastic instruction for every need. Hospital, groceries, train station and information as how to get to certain places. Super clean, Comfortable beds, great selections of pots,pans, dishes and spices to make meals at the apartment. Nice neighborhood with a bar/restaurant a block away. Playground down the street and plenty of nice dog people. Most enjoyable experience. ##### Mary H.

The apartment is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated, and you can tell there’s true pride in ownership. It was very clean and comfortable—an ideal place to come back to after exploring the city.The location is great: close to grocery stores and just a short walk to a little local bar a couple of blocks away. The area felt very safe, even in the evenings. The walk to Vatican City is definitely doable, though after a full day exploring St. Peter’s in the warm weather, we opted to use scooters and bikes via the Dott app (also available through Lime/Uber). Be aware, though—it’s not for the faint of heart with Roman traffic and a lack of bike lanes!As with many city stays, there was some noise. During our visit, the neighbors hosted a children's birthday party that went late into the evening. Nothing unexpected for a lively city, but worth noting.The host does have quite a few house rules, including requirements to clean all dishes and take out separated garbage—even with a cleaning fee charged. As someone who’s worked in the hospitality industry for 30 years, I found that a bit excessive, but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.Do note: buses don’t always run on schedule, and taxis/Ubers are quite expensive (26 to get to the Colosseum). Plan accordingly!All things considered, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to travelers looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located home base in ##### Leslie M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deanna A. 8 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Apartment in Monteverde, Rome My husband and I spent a week in this lovely and spacious apartment. The building is secure and well situated near the Quattro Venti train station and several bus lines. Getting around the city was very easy and the host left excellent directions for navigating the public transit. Within easy walking distance is a fruit and vegetable stand, a grocery, pharmacy, cafe and pizzeria and several restaurants. We ate well. The apartment itself has huge windows and two balconies and is filled with light. The rooms are large with high ceilings and the space is very comfortably furnished. Everything is there you might need for your stay, coffee make, toaster, washer, dishwasher, even a freezer! (Nice for some Gelato from Otaleg.) Check in and out was a snap with Easy Host. The owner was in regular contact before, during and after our stay. Thank you, Paola, for making our visit to your lovely home so stress free. I recommend this VRBO to couples, families or friends who want an elegant stay in a quiet part of the Eternal City. Most pleasant! ##### Deanna A. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley K. 26 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Place to Stay My friend and I are still congratulating ourselves for having chosen Il Soffio as our home for our visit to Rome. The apartment is beautiful, very spacious, clean, and the perfect base for easily getting to all the must-see sites in Rome. The apartment is large enough for 4 people to stay without crowding each other or sacrificing privacy. It was wonderful to come back to this quiet haven after a day of being surrounded by hordes of tourists. The neighborhood is full of excellent places to eat and convenient to taxis and buses, making it easy to get around. You could not ask for a better hostess than Paola. She met us at the outside gate and explained in detail how to use all the appliances and also told us the best spots in the area for meals and grocery shopping. We enjoyed several light meals of pizza from Alice's, sitting on the lovely balcony surrounded by trees. How wonderful to discover the best gelato in Rome and fabulous pastries just up the hill at Dolci Desidere. Lunches at Il Mulino de Quattro Vento were superb as well. We travel a great deal and agree that this may be the best rental apartment we have had. Paola does everything possible to make certain that her guests have a great stay. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a peaceful, comfortable stay in a true Roman neighborhood. ##### Shirley K.

The Apt was lovely. Very big & spacious with all the necessary comforts. The a/c worked great. In walking distance to transportation market restaurants & coffee. Fruit stand right downstairs was great. Elevator for loading luggage up & down 4 flights. I would highly recommend especially if looking to stay outside city center ##### Christina M.

Paola gave us all the information we needed for our vacation in Italy, including transportation services. She was present to give us a tour of the apartment. The place was so clean and organized. She answered promptly to my messages. Overall, it was a great and worry-free experience largely due to her great hospitality and customer service. ##### Dennis d.

She was very quick to reply & answer our questions (we had many!). She also greeted us upon arrival at the property and gave us a tour of the property. She is a wonderful host and her property is beautiful. Elevator a plus! Great location within walking distance (4 min) to the train station for the next part of our journey to Florence. Buses were close by & I highly recommend using them. We purchased Roma passes in advance & found them unnecessary as you can swipe your credit card each time you use the bus with a per day maximum. A prior guest commented on having to take out trash & clean dishes upon leaving the property, but that is a fairly common request at VRBOs. Trash & recycle containers are literally right in front of the property on the street.) Leaving dishes the way you found them-clean, is a very quick and simple task. Overall, the property was quite large & well appointed. The second bedroom with 2 twin beds was quite small for 2 adults as we had to put our open luggage on the floor. Adding luggage racks would be a nice addition.The only real problem for us was the AC in the main living area was not working at all during our 5 night stay & there was no one available to fix it til the day before we left. It was only comfortable in the 2 bedrooms so we did sleep well. Even the bathrooms were quite warm. Again, that was our only issue. Great property overall and a fantastic host! ##### Robert V.

We couldn't have been more comfortable. I have been in Rome over a dozen times and stayed all over the city, in many different hotels and one other apartment. We've never been in such a lovely place! The neighborhood was new to us but it didn't take long for us to figure out everything great about it. The property itself was extremely well cared for and lovely. More importantly, it wasn't just the "whitewashed" generic apartments one frequently rents. It was comfortable, very clean, well decorated and homey. The bathrooms had everything we could have wanted. We actually could have come without toiletries because Paola provided everything! We didn't need to use any of those things but it was just another layer of her astonishing hospitality. The kitchen was beyond what I would expect from a vacation rental. Not only was it beautiful and very well appointed, she carried all the little things one hates to buy for a week long stay (salt, pepper, sugar, etc) as well as thoughtful things like olive oil and other spices. The bedrooms were comfortable. The views on the balconies and from the bedrooms were lovely. Outside the apartment, there was a store to the right of us and a fruit/vegetable store to the left of us. Up the stairs, there were restaurants and taxi stands, ATM machines. Now I get to the part where I talk about Paola. I have rented VRBO/Homeaway properties for years. I have never had an owner host us so warmly before. Ever. She drove 45 minutes from her seaside home to welcome us. She made reservations for transportation for us on 3 separate occasions. She answered all my texts and helped us negotiate dinners and trains. She was the ultimate hostess who made this trip to Rome effortless for me and my family. I recommend this property very very highly for people who are fine with being out of the center of Rome. But more importantly, I recommend Paola, who has other properties in Italy as well. I won't go to Rome again without contacting her first. ##### Gina W.

Lived up to the photos and the other reviews. Beds were good, AC works, and the kitchen is fully functional. ##### Dale P. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graeme C., Prestwick, UK 2 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful flat, lovely area, very pleasant owner This is a beautiful, clean and very well maintained flat in a lovely area. The flat is very spacious and bright and it has obviously been done up recently to a very high standard. The air conditioning was very effective, and although we tend not to use it a lot normally we had to at various points during our stay as it was very hot in Rome. The owner, Paula, is very pleasant and helpful and her advice was much appreciated. There are supermarkets, a fruit shop and any other shops in very close walking distance to the flat. The flat is slightly out of the historic centre but is very well served with buses and a train station all in close proximity to the flat. Trastevere is only about a 15 minute walk and St Peters a lovely half hour walk along the Gianicolo with lovely views over Rome (and a pleasant breeze). We stayed for 2 weeks and felt immediately at home. We bought monthly travel cards for 35 euros that allowed us to use all public transport within Rome which we found very useful. (The monthly ticket covers a calendar month so if buying on 23 June for example you would only get 1 week of use out of it). The flat has a lovely big kitchen that is fully equipped and 2 terraces that you can sit outside on. There is a lift as the flat is on the 4th floor. I would recommend this flat to anyone really - it is of a very high standard. ##### Graeme C.

Da wir mit dem Auto angereist sind, wollten wir keine Wohnung direkt in der Innenstadt. Allerdings sollte sie so verkehrsgünstig liegen, dass man das Auto zum Zentrum nicht benötigt. Diese Wohnung liegt in der Nähe von 3 Buslinien zu zentralen Punkten der Sehenswürdigkeiten. Eine davon geht direkt zum Vatikan. Unser Auto stellten wir eine Straße weiter für 10,-EUR/Tag in einer privaten Parkgarage unter. Die Besitzerin organisierte uns Alles. Die Wohnung selbst ist wunderschön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. 2 schmale Balkone laden zum Apperitiv am Abend ein. Auf der Straßenseite gegenüber gib es Pizza zum Mitnehmen (auch mit Nutella zur Freude unseres Sohnes). Wenige hundert Meter die Straße herauf ist ein Fischgeschäft/-restaurant sowie ein Ital. Feinkostladen. Ein kleiner Supermarkt wenige hundert Meter weiter. Wer keine Lust auf Frühstück machen hat, geht einfach in eine Bar ums Straßeneck. Dort gibt es sogar ein Amerikanisches Frühstücksrestaurant. Alles in Allem eine super Wohnung und bei unserem nächsten Rom-Besuch sicherlich die erste Wahl. ##### Thomas L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly R. 22 May 2019 #### Amazing place My family and I stayed here for 9 days and absolutely loved the place. Our older daughter is studying abroad and we came to visit her. It was close to her apartment and close to public transportation to get wherever you want to go. Paola was absolutely amazing. She met us when we got there and took the time to show us through the apartment. She checked in on us and whenever I had a question, she got back to me right away. It was such a pleasure to rent from her. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one. ##### Shelly R. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline H. 15 Sept 2018 #### Perfect Stay I stayed in Paola's apartment for six weeks for a work trip. I am so glad that I chose her apartment; it was wonderful. Perfectly clean, spacious, equipped with all necessities, and everything in good working order. Paola is an exceptional host. Not only did she provide me with a wealth of information about Rome (and especially about the neighborhood of Monteverde), but she even delivered my suitcase after it was temporarily lost by the airline. The neighborhood was wonderful as well, away from the crowds of tourists but just a 20 minute walk to Trastevere. I enjoyed walking into Rome but there is a good train five minutes' walk from the apartment that connects one to both metro lines and Fiumicino airport (there are buses as well but I didn't use them). There are two good grocery stores a block from the flat, and an excellent outdoor market around the corner. I can't say enough nice things about this apartment and I would stay there again in a heartbeat! ##### Caroline H.

Die Wohnung hat einen kleinen Balkon mit Blick ins Grüne und auf ein schönes altes Haus (wunderbare Atmosphäre für ein Frühstück oder Abendessen für zwei Personen, großer gemütlicher Esstisch für mehr Personen ist in der Küche oder im Wohnzimmer) und ist sehr hell. Sie bietet viele Annehmlichkeiten wie beispielsweise schöne Bäder, eine gut ausgestattete Küche, angenehme Beleuchtung, Klimaanlage (die bei 40 Grad dann doch nicht unwichtig ist), Wifi, moderne Musikanlage etc. und liegt in einem untouristischen, sehr schönen noch zentrumsnahen Wohngebiet (Monteverde). Alle wichtigen Geschäfte (Bäcker, Obstladen, Metzger, Feinkostladen, kleiner Supermarkt) sind unmittelbar zu erreichen. Auch Restaurants (tolle Tipps der Besitzerin) und eine kleine, sehr nette Cafebar liegen quasi vor der Haustüre. Paola, die Besitzerin, ist ausgesprochen hilfsbereit, freundlich und äußerst zuverlässig. Dass es ihr ganz wichtig, dass sich die Gäste wohlfühlen, wird an vielen verschiedenen Stellen deutlich. Schon im Vorfeld bekamen wir z.B. von ihr gute und detaillierte Hinweise zu unserer Anreise, auf Wunsch organisiert sie auch ein Taxi vom Flughafen zum Appartement, in der Wohnung selbst hat sie ein Gästebuch mit vielen wichtigen Tipps zusammengestellt, die einem sehr helfen, sich schnell zurechtzufinden. Wir können diese Wohnung uneingeschränkt empfehlen, es hat an nichts gefehlt und wir haben durch die angenehme und ruhige Atmospähre eine herrliche Zeit verbracht. ##### Sandra B. ---
