About this property

Wonderful Island in the center of Rome: Davide Hjemmestyre

This beautiful apt is located at Santa Maria Liberatrice Square, in the heart of Testaccio. It's just been renovated (March 2010) with refined taste with precious material (Wood, Travertine, etc.) and furnished tastefully.
It's situated on the first floor of a building which dates back to 19th Century. It's composed of (1) an entrance, (2) a well equipped kitchen (pots, pans, a microwave, a dish-washer, a toaster, a fridge, a freezer, gas-stove, an oven, a grill, etc.). A corridor leads to a living room (3) with a comfortable sofa double bed, a writing desk, a TV, a DVD, a stereo CD, a chair bed (very comfortable). (4) A spacious and beautiful bedroom, (5) A bathroom with a wonderful travertine shower. Next to the bathroom there's a small box room with a washing machine. At the end of the passage there's a wardrobe room. Coffee, tea, salt, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, soap for dish washer and for the washing machine are provided.


Testaccio Area:: Even if in the heart of Testaccio area, calmness and peace are assured. The apt faces a quite courtyard. Outside the building there's a park with recreational facilities. The charming area of Testaccio is perhaps the last outpost of a nearly disappeared Rome. It's a slice of the city, next to Aventino and the Cocci Mountain, between Tiber bend at Ripa Grande and Piramide Cestia, next to Trastevere Area. It's nearly intact with the same original roman spirit. If you walk to Santa Maria Liberatrice, go around the famous fresh market counters (it is behind the building of the apt), Mattatoio, Campo Testaccio or to Acattolico Cemetery, you realize and breath the popular, human atmosphere.

Transport:: The apt is central, you can walk to the most important places in Rome but it's well connected by buses, trams, Piramide Subway. The subway leads to Coliseum, only 2 stops, to Piazza Navona etc.

Why the Owner Chose Aventino Testaccio: : Testaccio is a little Island where you can find yet the ancient and magical style of Living of true Romans. Close to each important Monument. Here you can have all the different way to visit and enjoy this wonderful City. The Unique Benefits at this Apartment: Year Purchased: 2009 - The apartment has been built with all the things everyone would like to have. I traveled. And I know what I would like to find in an apartment for my holiday. Owner Description/Comments: Kind and Available to contribute your perfect holiday in Rome, with all my advice.

Excellent location for transport (bus). Had everything we needed. Bed comfortable. Shower small but worked well. Nice to have a lounge. Air con good. Only issue was the external courtyard lightning that stays on, made it bright all night. Could do with black out curtains. Enjoyable stay.

Pleasant Stay
Very nice location in a much quieter neighborhood. We enjoyed being away from the noise but able to hop on a bus and quickly get into the touristy areas. The apartment itself was very well equipped and comfortable. We had a great stay and would recommend this neighborhood for future guests.

Fantastic stay in Rome
Very clean property that feels like home. Check in process they meet you at the property to make sure you are settled. At first I was unsure if there was enough room for the five of us, but as long as your okay sharing a pull out couch, then yes there is enough room. Location was fantastic - not too touristy so you get to experience the local Roman culture while having a short bus ride to the main attractions. Also very good value for the price we paid. Overall I would highly recommend staying here.

A real taste of Rome
We very much enjoyed our stay here. We needed to go Fiera di Roma on the airport train line every day for 10 days and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk to Ostiense station. It was about 20 minute walk to the area of Coliseum and Forum. The Testaccio neighbourhood is wonderful with a convenient grocery store and many restaurants. All of our communications with the host were easy and useful.

Wonderful Stay in Rome
The owner’s son, Davide, was welcoming and very helpful. The apartment was clean and well stocked with all the amenities. The best part of this place is the location. It is a short bus ride to all the sights but the neighborhood itself is not full of tourists. It was nice to get away from all the craziness after a day of sightseeing. There are many excellent restaurants nearby. We tried all of the owner's recommendations and they were all excellent. I would return if I visit Rome again.

Good location
The apartment was as descibed and served our needs well. It was clean and we liked the layout. The garbage/recycling situation could've have been better explained. Look for recycling bins in the park and do not use the bins next to restaurants. We were surprised to be charged an accommodation tax upon arrival as we assumed that it was included in the price. We had to pay 6 Euro/person/night for it in cash. Overall present stay!!
