Apartment Owner's Notes and Description
My apartment is located in the up and coming area called Pigneto, this is arguably the trendiest place in town now.
You will be in the big city's heart, still you'll feel like in a welcoming village!
You will have useful connections with:
the main railway station and the "A" line of the underground ("Vittorio Emanuele" Stop) are just a few tram stops away, and the metro links you to San Pietro, Musei Vaticani, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza del Popolo, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon etc.
The University area is 10/15 minutes away, Villa Borghese, The Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna and San Pietro and Musei Vaticani.
Please Note: Clients have been complaining about the sofa and I will change it when I get a chance. For now please note 1) that it's a standard Ikea on the cheapest side (see link above) 2) that it resolves basically on being a mattress on the floor 3) that it's kind of small.
Please Read: If you're more than 2 people you should be a family with kids to be comfortable, most two couples of adults that rented my apartment ended up complaining. Also because there is only one bathroom (one toilet, one shower, one bathroom sink and bidet) for the whole apartment and also because the window of the living, though I added dark screens, still let some light in in the mornings. Nothing terrible I think, but this is a very sunny apartment and I've had some complaints.
June 2011 / Netherlands
Not suitable for 3 persons. The sleeping couch is very very bad for adult people. Too short with a very bad matrass.
For 2 people it is ok.
When you stay here you have to go to Necci. a very nice place to go for dinner or breakfast at 50 mtr.
December 2010 / Canada
1) Good for 1-2 persons/a couple. Not good for 3 people as the pull out couch is very small and is not comfortable. 2) Shower leaks a lot of water.
Owner's reply: Thank you for your feedback! Sorry you didn't find the couch comfortable, I've added an extra ikea foldable mattress to it for further comfort. As said on the description the sofa bed is standard it's an Ikea Solsta 140x200cm: http://www.ikea.com/it/it/catalog/products/10087106
We're going to look and fix the shower immediately!
December 2010 / Netherlands
Some things has to be repared, like table and coffemaschine. The espressomachine missed a handle.
Management Replies: Thanks for the heads up! We'll fix them immediately!

Hübsche Ferienwohnung in einem interessanten, lebhaften Viertel
Roms. Wir haben dort zu zweit drei schöne Wochen verbracht.
In direkter Nähe gibt es mit den Supermärkten TODIS (via conte di carmagnola) und CONAD (via del pigneto) preiswerte Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist in Ordnung, der recht schnelle Internetzugang ist auch per Netzwerkkabel nutzbar. In die Innen-Stadt kommt man schnell per Strassenbahn (S.Elena) oder mit dem Bus (Linie 105).
Die Abwickelung über Romanreference war vorbildlich, hat alles
bestens geklappt - einschliesslich Flughafen-Shuttle und
Kautionsabwicklung. Wir werden den Veranstalter auch für andere Städtereisen nutzen.

The apartment was just as I expected. Clean, tidy and very pleasant. People in the area were very helpful and it was great at have Necci across the street!
July 2010 / France
Appartement conforme àla description. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Un peu éloigné du centre, mais accès facile avec les trams, bus et métro. Assez confortable, sauf le lit pour la 3ème personne. Bon acccueil. Quartier calme et terrasse très agréable
July 2010 / France
Tré bon accueil du propriétaire. Appartement propre et plein de charme. Des produits d'utilisation courante sont sur place ce qui est agréable lorsque l'on vient d'arriver et que les courses n'ont pas été effectué (sel, liquide vaisselle, lessive, huile, vinaigre) , le lit était fait (bien agréable aussi) et la terrasse, quel bonheur. Le quartier est un peu reculé du centre mais facile d'accès (tram à proximité jusqu'à minuit environ).

apartment was accurately represented by photos and description on website, was comfortable and quiet, and provided a good place to stay during our visit. It was initially a bit difficult to find, but once we had familiarized ourselves with the area it was very easy to get from there to the historical areas of Rome. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.
May 2010 / France
The apartment and the neighborhood were very pleasant. We believe this is an apartment for 2 adults with children, but not for 3 or 4 adults. The second bed is really not sufficient. It would be nice to have a salad bowl, a pair of scissors, clothes pegs and a deckchair. MANAGEMENT REPLIES: Thank you! We've bought a new salad bowl, scissors and clothes pegs, there is no deckchair right now, but plenty of chairs in the terrace (4) + 3 in the apartment. It must be stressed that all the items you mention was here until very recently and it's either been broken or lost by previous clients, we appreciate that you inform us immediately if something is missing so that we can replace it. Regarding the sofabed it's an Ikea Solsta 140x200cm: http://www.ikea.com/it/it/catalog/products/10087106.

Appartement très agréable, dans un quartier populaire et vivant, très bien desservi par les transports en commun.
Seul bémol : il est prévu pour 3 couchages, mais il convient àun couple avec enfant, et non pour 3 adultes, car le couchage du salon est àla limite du confortable et le logement n'est pas conçu pour une telle cohabitation (il faut traverser la chambre pour aller àla salle de bains par exemple...) ne convient pas à3 adultes pour un séjour un peu long.

I want to thank you again, I had a wonderful stay in Rome and my heart will be filled with great memories, and an inch more around my waist! ;)
Please forward my best regards to the owner, I loved my appt and Pigneto! Everything went smoothly and I had all I needed. You might want to pass the message that one of the panel of the wardrobe is coming undone, they will surely understand what I mean, it should be glued ...
Thank you again and I hope I will be back soon ....
My friends coming to Italy will look you up for sure!
Arrivederci!

Although the apartment was located a little away from the center, it was still perfect. Loved the terrace and of course the cutest kitchen & living room area. Heating and water pressure were great, too.
November 2009 / United Kingdom
The quality of the apartment was excellent. We couldn't ask for more :)
Besides from the excellent apartment, the service was outstanding. From a very detailed e-mail I received before coming here to the key-holder who explained everything very thoroughly, the whole process of renting a vacation home was seemless and perfect. I plan to write about it on a Korean travel website!:)

Een aangenaam appartement waar wij ons meteen thuis voelden. Geen gehorige bovenburen, geen inkijk, een rustige straat, dus je voelt je lekker vrij! Goede winkels in de buurt om zelf heerlijk te koken, en een leuk cafe en restaurant in de straat (waar wij helaas niet aan toe zijn gekomen). Vanuit een appartement de stad verkennen is ideaal gebleken, wij zullen een volgende keer eerst bij Roman reference gaan kijken als we, zeg naar Berlijn gaan!
October 2009 / Norway
Very quiet, perfekt windows, large and good bed, Fanfulla restaurant 1 minute away. No bedside tables beside the bed, light is only on one side of it. Otherwise all was good. Owner replies: Thanks for the tip! We added a light also on the other side of the bed now
September 2009 / Germany
Das Appartement war sehr schmutzig. Es wurde offensichtlich nur oberflächlich drübergewischt, alles was man anfasste klebte. Bei unserer Ankunft stand dreckiges GEschirr in der Spüle, Töpfe und Herd waren sehr dreckig. Nach 2 Tagen brachte der Besitzer als "Ausgleich" einen großen Topf und einige Geräte (Mikrowelle, etc..), mit dem Dreck wurden wir aber allein gelassen. Zudem ist es nachts so laut auf der Straße, dass man die Fenster im Schlafzimmer geschlossen halten muss. Insgesamt können wir die Wohnung nicht empfehlen. Owner of Apartment Replies: Dear Susanne, how unfair! I'm aghast. Keyholder informed me on arrival that I had forgotten three glasses in the kitchen sink (I had shown the apartment to a client the day before) and that you were complaining. So I called you and you said also that the kitchen pots were old, never mentioning that the apartment was dirty simply because it was not the case and I had verified that personally the day before your arrival. To make up, the day after (not two days after) I brought you what you dismiss as 'einige Geräte': a brand new pot, a brand new microwave, a brand new German coffee maker with filters, a brand new electric water kettle, 6 wine glasses and a used iron table of very good quality, for the terrace. This is how you thank me, let's say I would have much preferred a phone call! Regarding the bed room, it overlooks a street with bumpers where cars are obliged to go slowly, it's a small street and there is no heavy traffic. Anyway if you are sensitive to noice you can always close the window and turn on the air conditioning.
July 2009 / United Kingdom
Splendid value for money and as others have said, it is close enough to Rome centre for transport to be easy enough once mastered. The apartment was perfectly pleasant with enough amenities near by but unfortunately we did suffer rather greatly from a large volume of builders near by throughout our stay.

Appartement agréable, spacieux et fonctionnel où il fait bon vivre dans un quartier attachant. Le lave-linge fonctionne après avoir ouvert le robinet d'eau. Bon accueil, de Enzo.
May 2009 / United Kingdom
This apartment was perfect for me. I was in Rome principally to improve my italian and attend classes but also to go to the Champions League Final. I loved being in a Roman suburb out of the touristy centre but only a 15 mins tram ride away from the centre, my classes and the opera. I liked the feel of the area, the local bars, the market on Via Pigneto and the shops.
May 2009 / United Kingdom
The apartment was perfect, lovely to have a roof terrace, close to shops but away from the busy centre of Roma. Everything worked except the lavatrice which does not seem to fill with water. I loved being out of the touristy centre but close enough via a very good tram to get to my language school in Termini. Manager Note Sorry for your problems with the washing machine. Under the sink there is a tab to open the water for the washing machine, I'll make sure the keyholder shows it to clients always from now on, he may have forgot in your case. Do give us a call next time and thanks a lot for your feedback!
April 2009 / France
Le logement est confortable et lumineux, avec une belle terrasse, mais pour le prix, est trop éloigné du centre historique de Rome et le quartier peu avenant
April 2009 / France
Pour des italiens, oublier la cafetière!
Appartement agréable et belle terrasse. Réponse du Propriétaire: Désolé! J'ai acheté une cafetiere à filtre et une caffetière Moka.
December 2006 / United States
The apartment has been a wonderful place to stay and we would recommend it. The bus ride was a minor issue compared to the peace and comfort we lived in. We enjoyed every minute of our apartment and have no major complaints about it. The neighborhood was wonderful and the people were friendly. Both Tara and I feel that we got to experience a part of Rome outside of the center that reflects the true culture of Rome today. Thank you for allowing us that opportunity.
August 2006 / United States
Although the location was not central it was easy to get to the center. It was a great neighborhood and the apartment was very well equipped.
