Our host Gian and his wife Cristiana were absolutely amazing to work with leading up to our trip and wonderful hosts while we were there. We truly felt like family as they extended what use to be their home to our family for the week. The location was perfect and the terrace gave us beautiful views enjoy a nice Italian glass of wine and look out over the Trajan Forum. Thank you Gian and Cristina for a wonderful stay and welcoming us into your beautiful home and city. ##### Tim H.

The apartment is on the 4th floor of an historic palace in Rome. There was an elevator which came in handy with getting our luggage to the apartment. There was plenty of space to spread out and have some room. The air conditioning worked well which was nice since Rome was extremely hot. The property is about 15 minutes from all the major attractions we were visiting. ##### Angell S.

Everything about this place is perfection! Form the location (near charming neighborhood of Monti as well as major sights like the colosseum and forum); to the view (wonderful balcony); to the host family and their support and amazing recommendations; to the gorgeous place itself. The apartment is gorgeous and while “classic Roman” everything is clean and up to date with modern comforts. If you want to stay in a nice place and need three bedrooms (or even two), you can’t beat this beauty!! ##### David K.

Gian, the owner arranged for transportation for our group of six from the train station and to the cruise port. He made every effort to make our stay first class. He had breakfast snacks for us, candies and bottled water. The view of the Roman Forum from our bedroom was incredible. We were right beside the Victor Emmanuel Monument. A great location for sure. When we return to Rome we hope to stay here again. We cannot say enough nice things about this property. ##### richard t.

This is without a doubt the perfect home from which to explore all that Rome has to offer. The location could not be more beautiful, with windows and a balcony overlooking Trajan's Forum, it is an easy walk to the Forum, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. The home is exquisitely appointed, and every last detail has been thought about to ensure guests have everything they need to settle in. The hosts, Gian and Christina, are gracious and welcoming, as if you were beloved relatives coming for a visit. If you want to immerse yourself in Rome and live like a local, you cannot do better than this wonderful home. ##### Daniel B.

What made our stay exceptional was the generosity and kindness of our hosts, Cristina and Gian. Well before our arrival, they helped us book tours, restaurants and transportation. They welcomed us personally when we arrived and gave a thorough introduction to the spacious and immaculate villa and helpful advice regarding our itinerary. Gian kindly made last minute restaurant reservations for us. The kitchen had breakfast items for the next day, cold water in the refrigerator and a couple of bottles of wine. It was very hot in Rome during our visit, and it was truly a joy and relief to return to our centrally located, air-conditioned and well-appointed villa. Thank you, Cristina and Gian, for our superb stay. ##### Elenne S.

The classic Roman flat offered not only comfort but also breathtaking views of the city that added to the overall charm of our stay.

If you're seeking a genuine Roman experience, this apartment is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a blend of authenticity, comfort, and those captivating Roman views that will leave you with lasting memories of your time in this beautiful city. ##### Jill Z.

It was clean and incredibly comfortable. I loved cuddling up on the soft sofas. If you are American and want your Netflix…bring an hdmi cable and the iPhone connector. Worked perfectly. We sat on the balcony morning and evening and enjoyed the view and the people. The “pirate” below was quite entertaining. The cafe just up the street was our morning coffee/croissant stop. Almost everything is an easy walk! I highly recommend contacting Luca with Mini Rome Tours for an amazing evening in his vintage mini Cooper! Thank you again to Gina and Christina for your wonderful hospitality and opening up your beautiful home for guests. Truly memorable ##### Melanie W.

The location of the apartment is ridiculous- the photos do not lie- it is in the middle of everything. Steps outside put you in the heart of the city. Yet, somehow, it was quiet and peaceful inside. The apartment is immaculate and our host, Gian had thoughtfully made it feel like a luxe hotel- Frette robes, treats in the kitchen, a bottle of wine, etc. And he couldn't have been nicer, helping with transportation and great advice for nearby restaurants and bakeries. We will definitely book again when we return to Rome in the future and are recommending this apartment to all of our friends who will be travelling there. Grazie Mille! ##### Steve L.
