  The host canceled my reservation 2 days before arrival. View host response

  Response from host:

  Dinna's reservation was an "alert/last minute" reservation and there was a misunderstanding about it. I had no time to cancel the offer while another reservation came through the same day. I want to underline that I am a correct, reilable and helpful person as the other reviews show.I am not used to spoil my guests' holiday and I always honour my commitments.

  My son and I stayed for three nights around Easter Sunday at Antonella's flat. We arrived late at night but were met graciously by her daughter with the keys and helpful information. The flat is conveniently located to frequent bus service -- the #3 bus goes direct to the Circo Massimo and the Colosseum, for example -- and also to Trastevere train station; there is also a late night place to eat nearby. The flat is spacious and comfortable and everything worked fine. I would stay there again.

  Antonella and his daughter Livia give us all information about the flat and Rome (maps, guides, etc.). Apartment is well situated, in an authentic "italian district", not only touristique. Decoration and TV set are not up-to-date. Need an Internet point.

  The location of the apartment is perfect. It's very easy to get to the central part of the city by bus as the bus stop is located close. There is the seafood restaurant at the same address with delicate dishes and good service. Inside the apartment is not big but quite enough for two people accommodation. Especially if the guests need it for sleeping only. The 'issue' I'd like to mention is the mobile communication which is almost not available inside. The Host is friendly and helpfulness.

  Español - Roma es bellsísima, y la estadía se hace mucho mejor en casa de Antonella. Ella es una super host, muy amable y dispuesta a orientar en cualquier pregunta. Nuestra llegada fue tarde en la noche y Antonella estuo allí para esperarnos. El apartamento es muy cómodo, tal como en las fotos y a solo unos pasos del Vaticano y muy cerca al centro de la ciudad. Hay un supermercado muy cerca y varios restaurantes alrededor. La entrada al edificio no es sencilla; importante tener las indicaciones correctas para no perderse. Recomendaría a cualquiera este sitio.

  Antonella's apartment was wonderful! The location was very convenient - a block away from the tram - from which you can easily connect to buses, the train to the airport, and etc. We loved the Trastevere area and found a few great restaurants. There's a supermarket and a fruit shop close by, as well as a little launderette that did our laundry for 8 euros. Would defintiely stay here if we get back to Rome again!

  Antonella was a great host. She provided a lot of information prior to our trip to help us reach the accommodation. Her daughter helped us out upon our arrival providing a brief guide of the area and even helping my friend give me directions, as I was arriving separately. Hope to visit Rome again and would definitely use Antonella again!

  We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. Everything was very accessible but we also felt like we had our own little place in Rome. Antonella was very helpful in providing us directions and maps of the city. I would definitely stay there again!

  We stayed eight nights at Antonella’s place and we would happily return there on our next trip to Rome. The apartment was very convenient to traffic, and it was fun to live in a residential area of Rome rather than a tourist area. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen small but well set up, and the AC and wifi worked great. Antonella (and her daughter who met us on the first day) made sure we had everything we needed and was easily reachable when we had questions.

  This little apartment was very quaint and arty, it had a student feel about it, with some of the owner's daughter's paintings on display. It was quiet, in a good area and the property is very secure. The transport links were amazing to all the major attractions. The bed was very comfortable also. On a minus though one or two little points to ponder on. It was difficult to contact the owner on arrival in Rome which was a bit disconcerting. The property is a bit tired looking and could be doing with some freesh decorating. The shower cubicle is also very small.. FINALLY. A question about the very large security deposit it is a bit extreme and couold be reconsidered as it would put some people of from booking. Having said all that I would definately recomend the property as we enjoyed our stay. Thank You. The McMillans. Scotland

  Great place. It is far enough from the city where you get away from the tourism (which allows you for better/cheaper food), but close enough to get anywhere in Rome no longer than 30 minutes (typically just 15 minutes). Our host, Antonella, was extremely nice and greeted us at the apartment. She made sure we knew exactly where everything was so we could get there. PS. Make sure you go to the places around the apartment that she tells you about. The wine is amazing and cheap, and the food is great.

  Antonella's apartment is small, but very comfortable and convenient. Although Antonella was kind enough to set up a cot for our three year old, I would not recommend having more than two people as the place will seem very crowded. Otherwise, it's perfect for a single or couple looking for basic housing in a great location. Antonella was very responsive about a problem with the door lock. The tram at the end of the street takes you through the happening Trastevere neighborhood and right into the center of Rome in 15 minutes. The nearby supermarket will save you lots of money over eating out. The park at the top of the hill is a pleasant place to spend time if you do have children or just want to sit and watch life go by.

  Our stay at Antonella's place was great, could not expect anything better!!! Really nice flat with everything you need for longer stay and the connection with city center flexible, just in few minutes you can reach historical center and the neighbourhood calm, with supermarket at your feet. I'd like to thenk Antonella and her daughter:)
