A perfect stay in Rome

The property was an absolutely beautiful converted art studio which helped us get into the spirit of Rome. The location next to the train station was easy for luggage, and the sights were a quick lime ride away. Costanza was an excellent host, giving us many tips on where to go for food and gelato which all turned out to be absolutely fantastic! We would definitely book here again and highly recommend!

Authentic Italy

If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is your place. It has an "old world" feel with modern amenities. It is also within walking distance to many of the places you will want to see while in Rome. Costanza was very helpful! She booked a driver to pick us up from the airport and gave us tips on where to eat, how to get around, etc. She even met us later (after our stay) to return an item we left in the apartment. We had an all around, excellent experience.

A great stay!

We stayed here for 4 nights before heading to another location, and it was perfect for us. We loved the kitchen area and all the rooms were very comfortable. It was great to have 2 bathrooms, though the shower in the bigger bedroom was much nicer. The elevator was broken during most of our stay so that was a bummer but out of the hosts control. We enjoyed our time here!

Close to everything!

We found the flat very comfortable for our group of 4. I appreciated the amenities provided like spices, oil, etc for cooking. While o reserved for 3 people and we arrived with a 4th, we were charged an extra $80 for the 4th person. None of our other VRBOs did that, so not sure about that one. Very close to the colosseum and other points we planned to visit.

Good location to Termini!

Easy access to metro and Termini Station. Costanza very responsive to correspondence and letting us know cafe and grocer (open market was amazing!) locations as well as sights to see. A couple of suggestions to be more user friendly would be more toilet paper, and making available paper towels and napkins.

Great location

Costanza met us, introduced us to the apartment's features and took us for a coffee to share details about the area and Rome in general. We loved the neighborhood where the flat was located. There were restaurants, shopping, a park, coffee bar, the train/subway terminal, and large fresh food market all within short walking distance. The apartment was roomy and comfortable and just as described. Wish we had been staying longer!

Perfect Apartment in the Esquilino

This apartment was perfect for us (2 couples) while staying in Rome. The location was excellent ... just a few minutes walk from the Vittorio Emanuele Metro station, a wonderful Farmers Market just steps away, and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean and spacious, and the building had a lift, so bringing luggage up to the 4th floor was no problem!

Rome Family Vacation

Apartment is great, with excellent air conditioning, which was vital as it was 95° everyday and we're Americans, so, yeah. Neighborhood is a bit grimy but very diverse with some great author restaurants. Location for family turned out to not ne ideal because it's too far from tourist attractions, but that's our fault, not the host's, who is responsive, helpful, and yet non-intrusuve. Really beautiful apartment.

Great stay in Rome

Nice apartment in Rome. Short walk from Rome Termini, even with luggage. Comfortable for 5 adults. Was nice to have an elevator (small) to help with luggage as apartment was up a few flights. Constanza, property owner, was very friendly. She recommended nearby restaurant, Trattoria Vecchia Roma (reservation needed) which was excellent! She also helped arrange a car to pick us up for a very early trip to the airport.

Great host and beautiful apartment

We only stayed one night in the apartment on the way back from a tour of Italy. The apartment is beautiful with a very updated kitchen. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable, and our kids enjoyed the AC given the heat in Rome at the time. Constanza is a wonderful host. She greeted us at the apartment upon check in, and made sure that we were comfortable and had dining recommendations. I really recommend her property.

We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. It’s a huge 3 bedroom, two full bathrooms, with all the amenities of home. There were even some thoughtful additions like coffee and tea and condiments. A full stocked kitchen for cooking. (Though you are in Rome, so who wants to cook.) We walked every where from there. And it’s only a two minute walk to Roma Termini train station. Highly recommend.

2 nights in Rome

This is a beautiful apartment located near the train station in Rome in an area that was not very pretty. If you don't mind walking, you are about 30 minutes from the Colosseum and a bit further to the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. The lift in the apartment was very helpful especially if traveling with luggage, and public transportation was very easy to navigate. The apartment was very clean and comfortable for the 6 of us.

A month in Rome

This was the first time we had an extended stay in Rome so we picked this apt as it was close to the Roma Termini. While not in the center of the main attractions, we were 1 block from the subway which made it easy to get anywhere in the city. The apt was well equipped with a large kitchen-living area and 3 large bedrooms. An elevator made access easy. Our host gave us many suggestions and had local maps which helped with getting around. Restaurants were abundant within walking distance. Overall an enjoyable stay in a beautiful city.

Girls Trip to Italy

Myself, my sister, and my adult daughter enjoyed the start of our Italy trip at this property! We enjoyed meeting with Constanza, who provided us with excellent information and steered us to the best meal we had in Rome! The beds were so comfy and the AC was a nice welcome from our tours during the hot days! We loved the apartment and the cute details. It was fun for us to get in extra steps with using the stairs and/or using the tiny lift if we were too tired. The super close cafe provided delicious cafe and cornettos and was our favorite start to the day. The location to the Termini was very nice as well as the metro station and both enabled us to navigate Rome easily. We highly recommend this fun apartment!!! Thank you so much Constanza for your recommendations and welcoming hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Costanza Pompa

My name is Costanza, friend and property manager of Maya and Giovanni, the owners. I help them to manage their property. I was born in Rome. I live in Trastevere, one of Rome’s unique neighborhoods. I speak fluent German and English. I have always been interested and curious about other cultures. I love art in all its manifestations. In my free time I enjoy the soothing beauty of nature in the Tuscan countryside. I have worked over 10 years in the vacation-rental business. There is no better place than doing this business in Rome. I love Rome not only because it is my native city but also because it has infinite mysteries to disclose. After all this years living here, I am still enthusiastically exploring Rome’s art, history, museums, food, neighborhoods etc. And I can’t wait to share all this with you.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood of the Esquilino is the highest of the seven hills of Rome. Today it has a multicultural demography. Today, many directors and actors are living in this neighborhood too. Although it's main buildings are from the end of the century it is still imbued with roman and early christian presence. As we can see in the "Trofei di Mario" ( a roman fountain), the rests of “Castellum Aquae” collection point from 8 of the 11 aqueducts of ancient Rome in piazza Vittorio, ’Arch of Gallieno" (an entrance into the Servian Walls from the Roman Republican era), "Auditorium of Mecenate", "Bath of Diocletian", and the "National Roman Museum", the basilica of "Santa Maria Maggiore", "Santa Prassede", "San Martino ai Monti", with their underground early christian chambers of the 4th century... in short the neighborhood offers so many historical destinations to visit.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is 3 minutes by foot from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele (Metro line A, tram line), 5 minutes from Termini Train Station (Terminal for the two airports, metro line A and B, the terminus for the main bus and tram lines), and 15 minutes walk from the Coliseum.

The entire ancient, historical down town is easily travelled by foot. From Piazza di Spagna you can walk to Piazza Montecitorio; from there you continue to Piazza di Pietra, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori and then you can cross over the bridge Ponte Sisto to Santa Maria di Trastevere. It is a beautiful 40 minute walk (it obviously will take longer if you stop for a delicious Italian Gelato, glass of vine or have children walking with you!)
The tickets for tram ,buses and metro are sold at newspaper stands or in the “Tabaccherie”.
One advise while taking the public transportations: keep you valets and purses and personal belongings under constant watch (never behind your body)- there is plenty of pickpocketing!
Rome can also be experienced by riding bikes or scooters that can be rented. If you decide to do so, be an attentive driver because Rome's traffic is quite challenging and unpredictable.

From the Termini Station you can take the red line to go to Piazza di Spagna and the Vatican. Since your apartment is situated at the center of down town many sites can be reached by foot.
Enjoy your journey !
