Apartment Owner's Notes and Description
Via Urbana is a very typical street in the heart of Rione Monti, one of now increasingly rare areas of Rome which preserve intact the atmosphere and the charm and the old traditions.
In addition to all the major stores and services, the area offers the possibility of a pleasant walk through the still numerous artisan shops.
Urbana apartment is located less than a minute walk from the subway station and is a strategic starting point to reach the monuments and major sights in Rome.
Upon entering the apartment you will find immediately the care and dedication that the owners bring to make your stay pleasant and comfortable.

Apartment's owner Comments
Thanks for your feedback! We're so sorry about the shower curtain we'll replace it immediately. Very sorry the cleaners didn't make the bed, this shouldn't happen but it may, when the laundry service doesn't coordinate well with the cleaning service. Remember that our office is just around the corner, just give us a call next time and we'll immediately send somebody to fix the problem.
UPDATE : The support for the shower has been fixed and shower curtain has been changed.

My wife and I stayed 10 days in this apartment. Although we found the apartment itself a little tired and the furniture in need of upgrading, it was clean and adequately supplied with things like pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, etc. It was also quite roomy and the windows kept the noise from the street out so was quiet, especially at night. My wife hated the shower set-up (handheld shower in the deep bathtub but no shower curtain.) This apartment's best feature is the wonderful neighborhood in which it sits: loads of excellent and affordable restaurants and bars, some funky little stores, a very friendly and well-stocked grocery stores a block or two north of the apartment. The train station, the Colosseum and the Forum were each about 600m from the apartment and the Cavour Metro station was about a 2 minute walk (buy a four or seven day transit pass for unlimited bus, Metro and tram travel - the best bargain in Rome.)
The key changeover went smoothly at 8:30 at night and Roman References couldn't have been more co-operative or efficient, especially Paola who seemed to respond to emails at all hours of the day or night and who, when we locked ourselves out of the apartment, drove over to let us in. She was amazing and I'd like to take this opportunity to publically acknowledge her outstanding performance.
I would like to suggest that the owner consider some other form of payment than cash. This was a big nuisance for us since it meant we had to carry a wad of extra cash along with us during the first week of our holiday when we were in Barcelona. Credit card or bank draft would have been much safer and more convenient for us.
To sum up, we had a great holiday in Rome and more than a little of the credit for that goes to Roman References. Thanks.

Excellent location for sightseeing, public transportation, dining and groceries. Nice apartment with moderately amount of space and nice library. However, smells of tobacco smoke and could benefit from a coat of paint. Some evening/night noise. Overall, good apartment.

Location good, but the apartment needs some attention, eg missing light bulbs in kitchen. No chopping board, although otherwise kitchen reasonably well set up. WiFi didn't work when we first arrived although Enzo did get this working for us. We could never work out to turn on the TV, only to play DVDs. Better instructions would have been helpful, specific to the apartment eg for where to dispose of rubbish.
MANAGEMENT’S REPLY
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a feedback. The light bulbs in the kitchen have been replaced and all problems fixed. The Wi Fi has been quickly fixed (there was no problem in fact, the modem just needed to be switched off and on again) during the check in and has been working properly during the entire stay. The keyholder won't be the same for future rentals and precise instructions will always be provided to future renters. We hope that beside these small issues you enjoyed your stay in Rome and the apartment.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice street and a very good start location to see Rome (metro, station, forum).
The appartment is friendly and okee for 2 or 3 persons, but can use a few repairs to be become more than perfect.
A good place to stay again!

Very nice neighbourhood, surroundings and athmosphere in the flat. The fridge is noisy but the interior design is tasteful and you get a homely feeling. Tell the owner please we like the flat. We have stayed with you before, Raffaella is excellent! She is fast, helpful and full of good advice. Many greetings! Managements' reply: Thank you for your feedback! Just for information to future renters the fridge is noisy only from time to time and not all day.

Greal location. Quiet street. Very nice restaurants nearby. Close to a metro station.
The apartment was very spacious and pleasant, thought it needs some minor repairs -- loose floorboards/tiles, some burnt out light bulbs, etc. Washing machine instructions in English would have been very helpful -- it took us quite a while to figure out how to use it.
It would also have been very helpful to have a second key in case we lost one or one of us needed to go back to the apartment without the other.

Excellent location, you provide all basic needs, good job. ( toilet seat was broken off the toilet. there was no seal in the expresso maker but we bought one- you might want to srape and reseal tiles around bathtub. The black may be mould and other people may complain).
Enzo was Great! Having a map of italy in the apatment might be useful for tourists.

Super location, 2 minutes to subway, 5 minutes walk to some great little restaurants and cafe's, even a good little grocery store. 15 minutes walk to Termini (the main railway station.
If you are visiting the ruins, its one stop on the subway or a 15 minute walk to the forum.
As for the apartment, very functional, very private building, bedroom at the back away from the street, good size kitchen living room, even a pull out sofa

A great apartment for 2-4 people, this apartment is spacious and clean. Decorated in a contemporary style, with select art-work, this apartment is a great place to relax after touring the sites of rome. Close to many of rome's main attractions, including popular restaurants and bars, this apartment is in an excellant location for couples or families looking for comfort in the city center. I recommend this apartment and would happily stay here again.
