Ivan was a great host and he's extremely good at room decoration. He was really friendly and kind, although we didn't get to talk with him that much because we left apartment early and got back late. But the time spent there was really pleasant because the apartment was so colorful and interesting that one couldn't feel bored there. And it was so clean in there and the ambience was light and pleasantly easy. Thanks for everything Ivan!
Ivan was a fantastic host, who gave us great recommendations on sights, food etc. The apartment is in a great location, very close to Vatican City, but far enough away that you feel you are in 'real Italy'. Ivan obviously has very great taste when it comes to decorating a home, and we hope to stay there again when we return to Roma!
Ivan's apartment is lovely! It is about a 10-15 min walk from the Vatican and the Vatican's metro stop (although you can get a bus faster too). The neighbourhood has some good restaurants just around the corner. The room itself is much bigger than we expected, with a sofa to hang out on too. We left the window open most nights and still slept very well - it was lovely pushing back the shutters in the morning and seeing a local Roman view! Ivan's apartment feels open and creative: the...

Our stay in Ivan's appartement was nice and comfortable. The room was big and everything was clean. Ivan was friendly and discreet. He has great taste ! There was everything you can need, specially in the kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Plus we almost done everything by walking, about 30 minutes from the center. And you always pass in front of St Peter's Basilica by night or day, its nice. Great experience, definitely recommended.
My stay in Rome could not have been any more comfortable. I was situated in Ivan's apartment for 12 days. It was minutes to the metro, Ottaviano station, and just 2 more to the Vatican City. Everywhere I wanted to go to was reachable either by walking or by the metro. It was in a nice neighborhood where you didn't have the chaos of tourist running around at all hours, and made the experience very authentic true to Rome. The apartment was very large, and well furnished with all the amenities... More »
We loved our stay with Ivan! He is very nice and helped us out a lot with organising the sightseeing and other things. Ivan is a great host and we loved his flat. The bed was very comfortable and I loved his little reading room with the books. His flat is in the 4 floor and I thought that was a nice free workout to get up there!!!! We would always stay with him again.. Ivan did you get our little good bye letter???All the best and good luck. Nadine and Kathrin....
We spent three unforgettable days in Rome in an apartment of Ivan, who is open, helpful and very friendly person. The location is very convenient, walking distance to the Vatican, and to the center 15 min by subway or 25 or 30 minutes by bus. Very nice neighborhood with nice local cheap bars and cheap supermarket. For us it was important : we could cook for ourselves, using the fully equipped kitchen. Room rates - excellent. Next time definately would like to come back this place :) Thank... More »
Fantastic apartment. Huge bedroom and a really nice clean bathroom. Great location within walking distance to the Vatican and a metro. Ivan was a great host and made our stay Rome so comfortable that we will definately be returning.
Ivan was a friendly and very gracious host to my boyfriend and I while we were visiting Rome for three days. His apartment is located near a Metro stop and very close to the Vatican, which was a big plus for our site seeing, though it isn't located near any real bars/clubs so we didn't see much of the nightlife. The apartment itself was clean, and the bed comfortable. And he's got WiFi and a laundry machine. The one drawback to be aware of is that Ivan smokes, so if you're very sensitive to... More »
Ivan was a fantastic guest. He was visiting for the last 10 days of a 2 month + stay in NYC. He kept the apartment tidy, was quiet in the apartment but friendly, and even joined us for a dinner party during the week. Oh, and he looks like a fantastic cook! Would definitely accomodate him again.
