About this property

A stone’s throw from the Colosseum!

The apartment (managed by FromHometoRome) is located on the second floor of an elevator-equipped building that dates back to the early 1900s. Please note that there are about a dozen steps to climb to reach the elevator, so guests with a walking disability may need assistance or find it challenging. We regret that the elevator cannot comfortably accommodate a guest in a wheelchair.

Please note that there are about a dozen steps to climb to reach the elevator, so guests with a walking disability may need assistance or find it challenging. We regret that the elevator cannot comfortably accommodate a guest in a wheelchair.

The apartment, a blend of modern and traditional, is rich in natural light and is the quintessential exercise in classic Italian décor: hardwood floors, porcelain tile backsplashes and marble inserts "conspire" to make you feel like you are in a country house.

This unit sleeps up to four: two in the master bedroom (complete with a large closet) and two in the living room, where a comfortable sofa bed converts into a queen-size bed. The only bathroom has a bath and shower, while the fully equipped kitchen is complete with all the essentials for cooking your own meals - in addition to a fridge and freezer, you will find a Nespresso, microwave, gas oven, kettle, toaster, dishwasher and washing machine (please note that this is not a dryer).

This accommodation has independent heating and a free Wifi connection is offered to all guests. The air conditioning is located in the living room and kitchen and due to the size of the apartment can efficiently cool the entire property.

A full experience
We loved our stay! Ole, who met us and checked us in, was funny and so informative. The space was as listed and worked great for our travel needs. We were so grateful for all of the food recommendations provided by the hosts! We ate at one of their recommended restaurants every night and very much enjoyed each one. The location was excellent - obviously it’s super close to the Colosseum, and it’s also a scenic walk to many of the other sites as well (the furthest was Vatican City - it took us about 60-70 minutes to walk but it felt like 30 because it’s so pretty and interesting!). We didn’t take the subway but it was very close (5 minute walk) as well. We also loved that our walk home every night took us past the colosseum & the forum. There is a grocery store within a 3-5 minute walk, which was also handy! 10/10 would recommend.

Quiet neighborhood close to main attractions!
The apartment was lovely; clean, quiet and fully furnished with everything needed. We (seniors) could walk to all attractions except those outside the wall. Sarah, the manager was quick to respond to any questions.

Great location!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was perfect for us! It was awesome to arrive, get settled, and immediately go to a walk around the Colosseum! There are lots of hreat restaurants close by! We caught up on all of our laundry as well since this was the mid point of our 2 week vacation. The videos for getting into the apartment were much appreciated!

Great property in a great location
We stayed here for 4 nights and would highly recommend it. The Colosseum is less than a 5 minute walk and both the bus stop and metro station are nearby. Plenty of food options in the neighborhood, and the kitchen is also fully stocked if you choose to cook. I would recommend replacing the pillows for both the bed and sofa bed as they are very thin, but this was the only point of improvement we noticed during our stay!

Best Rome Stay!
I cannot recommend this rental enough! We were all so pleased with the experience, from the location to the cleanliness of the apartment. The host is amazing and so helpful. Our weekend was wonderful and certainly because of this Vrbo!

As advertised
Exactly as advertised, walking distance to colosseum and metro. Lots of food in the area, close to a market for groceries. Check in was simple and host even provided videos which made it super easy!! We visited in July so it was super hot but ac did its job, a fan would have been a nice touch.

Great location near Colosseum
We chose to stay here mainly for the location within easy walking distance to the Colosseum and ancient Roman historical sights. The location was perfect for the 3 of us (a couple with our teenage boy). There was also a taxi stand very close by, and the Metro station was within easy walking distance as well to reach other parts of the city. Coming "home" in the evenings from other parts of the city was a treat, because we got to walk past the Colosseum each night. We did not use the kitchen to cook, because we ate out. There was an excellent restaurant called Naumachia just a few blocks away with great food, and a lively and friendly staff. The air conditioning was in the main living room and there was also one in the kitchen, but we were disappointed that the bedroom did not have an a/c unit. The bathroom was clean and perfectly fine. Overall, a very pleasant stay, and a perfect location.

We arrived in the afternoon to a cold apartment. After making dinner and wondering when heat might go on, we contacted agency by email. We assured them we had not touched thermostat as very strictly directed, but when might we expect heat to go on? We should not have to wear coats in the apt. After 24 hrs, heat went on after a visit from agency, apparently someone forgot to set thermostat to ‘on’ for our 6 day stay. We were told Rome has strict rules around thermostats and how many hours heat can be on and at what temp thermostat can be set but we were cold most of our stay in late afternoons until heat was allowed to come on at 6 pm. Thankfully there are pocket doors so we could close off the back of the apt to the living room which was always too cold to use. We come from snow country in USA so we are used to cold weather and set 66 degrees as max on our thermostat at home. Other than the undesirable apt temp, the apt is very nice, a usable kitchen, comfy beds minus lumpy pillows and the neighborhood is lovely. Unlike other reviewers, we made all the contacts via email solely on apartment temps and saw no one. There was no info on local grocery in the apt info but we found a local store a couple blocks away that was terrific.
