Wow- was I confused by the first negative. Cristina and I used google translate in our emails. She arranged a driver to pick me and my mother up from the airport. Our flight was an hour late - there he was waiting! He took our luggage up to the apt. This beautiful home is on the second floor. There is a small elevator. Normal size for Italy. [For Americans it is small.] Cristina walked us through the apt. The kitchen is lovely. It has a dishwasher and a full refrigerator./ with freeze [Not the norm in Italy] The kitchen suites for one person cooking. The dining room has a large table with 4 chairs[ extra chair in the closet. You have a net espresso coffee machine and a microwave that also grills food. When we came she had just redone the entire bathroom. It's gorgeous. Complete with a "Rain" showerhead. She has a washing machine. In Italy [becasue I have lived in Italy-does not use a dryer. ] You can wash at night put items on the drying rack and most everything will be dry by the morning. The bedrooms are large. Beds are comfortable. Bright in the morning however she has thick drapes that keep the sun out if you want to sleep in. The apt has 12-foot ceilings. and the apt is soooo quiet! No noise from neighbors above you or beside you and even though you are on a street in a busy neighborhood- you don't hear street noise. Open the large windows and you get a lovely breeze. I sit in the gray bedroom and drink my coffee in the window nook in the gray bedroom. There are plenty of linens. pillows, towels. A tv in the living room and one on the gray bedroom. Mother and I are thrilled. there is a type of "dollar store" downstairs - it has everything you might have forgotten, converters, earplugs, hairspray, slippers. The grocery store is a 5 min walk and has everything you would want. There is a nice food market for about a 10 min walk. The neighborhood is great. A wonderful restaurant next to the trinket store.Another great restaurant at the end of the block and across the street. Mother and I have been here for 2 weeks. It is been wonderful. The apt is large and roomy and comfortable. Cristina is available to answer any questions at any time. The bus 492 is 1 1/2 blocks away. 8 min walk? It goes by the Vatican and over to Piazza Navona and to the terminal. It's perfect as my mother is 89 years old. She walks with me and we can hop the bus and get where we want and home easily. We love it. It is as beautiful and comfortable as the photographs and mother doesn't want to go home!

Appartement sympa et très bien placé. Commerces et restaurants à proximité Le centre de Roe peut se faire à pied.

We did not really enjoy our stay in Rome because of the owners behaviour. The location is good for visiting the Vatican

stay away. weird owner expects you to clean the apartment although its sold as a ‚hotel‘. additionally she claimed we hosted guests. too crazy, too unürofessional

We spent a week at Cristina's home. It had everything we needed and was so comfortable to come back to each day. The air conditioning was a welcome relief and it was great to have a washing machine. Close to places we wanted to visit and also to the metro to visit places further away. Shops and market within walking distance.

We stayed at two different places in Rome for our trip in Rome for 5 (2 adults, 2 teen and one child). Cristina's place was chosen because it was 5 minutes walk from the Vatican museum and 10 minutes from St. Peter Basicilica. Cristina was great at arranging for a professional driver Irina to pick us up in a real van at FCO for 60 Euros. Cristina is a friendly, gracious host who treated us very well. Her English isn't that deep so Google Translate is your friend. The nice touch was a bottle of wine to welcome us. NOTES ON APARTMENT: Apt. was at level 2 (US style 3rd floor). Apartment was as shown on the photos of the owner. There is an elevator but it will fit 2 small persons or 4 carry-on luggage. It was clean, well furnished with AC and the kids all had their own beds in the second room. AC was heaven sent as Rome was super hot and humid. Bathroom is small as per typical Rome's apartment but adequate. The drain in the shower don't drain as quick but that was the same experience we had at another place near the Coloseum. Don't bother using the laundry washing machine in her place as it is typical of European washer in that it takes 3-6 hours to do a wash. And no one uses a clothes dryer (from my experience in France and other places) in their homes. This means that normal clothes take all day to dry if you hang them. So best to use those travel clothing from Columbia or REI as those allow you to hang dry overnight. There is a small dining room and a very small kitchen as well as a refrigerator and sink. We didn't use this as we ate out. LOCATION: Apt was near all the local trattiere and restaurants and shops. We used the ATM from the Montepasori di Siena bank (oldest bank in Italy) 2 blocks from the apartment as that allowed us to withdraw from our B of America account. Apt. was 5-10 minutes walk to Metro Ottavio line B which allowed me to reach Termini Metro in 15 minutes and from there to the Leonardo Express line to FCO. I didn't like using buses as they were so crowded (pickpocket heaven). BTW, Subway in Rome is air-conditioned, unlike Paris. OTHER NOTES: Cleaning was an additional 50 Euros for our two nights, which is typical. Don't forget that there is also a Rome city tax of 5Euros per person per day. Of the two places we stayed in Rome for our trip, my kids loved her place. I would highly recommend Cristina's place with no reservation. In fact, when we return next time, we will stay here again.

My wife, my three adult daughters and I loved the apartment as it was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and everything like new condition. All the amenities one could ask for. Also, great location with a parking garage just around the corner. Cristina was very pleasant and greeted us at the apartment to give us a quick overview of it. Excellent experience overall and highly recommended. Connecticut, USA

Apartment based close to Vatican in area busy during day but safe and quiet in evenings. Good transport links nearby with an abundance of local eateries. The apartment is typical of the size for Rome but the decor is very tastefully done and rather "Boutique Hotelish". It has everything you need. Our flight to Rome was re routed, delayed and I was late to notify this problem. Cristina was very helpful and organised a very professional and friendly handover. We were very glad of this as the rest of the day was a nightmare. I will happily stay here again and recommend it to any one else wishing to escape the stress of the heart of the city. We have walked to some sites and used the train to others, the information provided by the owner is very honest.

Quartier vivant le jour calme la nuit. L'appartement se situe a 2 minutes à pied du métro A. Toutes les commodités dans la rue (boulangerie, restaurants, bus, supermarché) il y a un marché tout près (1 minute à pieds). L'appartement est très propre et agréable voire même coquet. Cristina est une hôte sympathique, honnête et serviable.
