Beautiful apt in Rome

Best apt of our entire 6 weeks in Europe. Great location in an excellent neighbourhood. Hal was a delight to deal with & the beautiful ground floor apt had everything we could need. Also, a delightful private patio right outside the front door. Can't say enough about how wonderful our stay in Rome was. If we make it back to Rome, we wîll definitely stay here again. 😊

Wonderful Place

I can't say enough about our visit. First, our host Hal. What a great guy. He met us upon arrival, arranged transportation back to airport upon departure, and I enjoyed our conversations with him during our stay. The apartment is large and luxurious, and located in a very nice part of town right next door to the Villa Borghese Gardens (which has a very nice and quaint zoo). My wife and I had a great time in Rome and enjoyed our stay. Thanks Hal !!

Excellent location and great host!

We loved our stay at The Palm House! It’s a beautiful private location with a lovely garden and patio. We could walk right into the Borghese gardens and museum. Easy walk to many landmarks. Hal helped orient us to the neighborhood and left us with maps, bus schedules and restaurant recommendations. Lots of space in the apartment and Hal had many nice extra touches for guests. A great host, highly recommend staying at this property!

Beautiful apartment and excellent host.

We had a wonderful stay at 9 via Nicolò Porpora. The apartment is lovely and the host, Hal MacMillan, graciously introduced us to the neighborhood. Having the beautiful Giardino Borghese so close and excellent restaurants, especially the Rossini's, made the stay perfect for us. I hope to return! Carol and Paul

5 day stay in Rome

Well located in a lovely, quiet and safe neighbourhood. A few minutes from the beautiful Villa Borgheze and close to bus transport to Termini. The apartment was everything we hoped for. Spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved having breakfast in the outdoor space each morning. The security was amazing - no possibility of a break in while we were out exploring Rome. Thank you Hal for helping us to have a wonderful Rome experience.

Get away in Rome

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The property is lovely, the neighborhood is excellent and Hal is charming to work with. The apartment is well appointed, the best part is the lovely private patio. This property is close to the Villa Borghese and there is a lovely, large park for strolling, running etc. It is about a mile to the Spanish steps. This is a quiet upscale neighborhood away from the chaos of top attractions. it is not the easiest to get to everything (we used cabs but it is about 1.5 -2 miles from Coloseum/Vatican but there are close metro and bus stations. If you want to just relax in a safe, quiet area of Rome, stroll to the local taverna for dinner and have coffee at leisurely pace, this place is perfect. Would love to stay again.

Wonderful stay

The apartment is great, in a good location away from tourists, and the owner, Hal, provides first rate service. We could have easily stayed much longer. Hal has thought of everything from an arrival orientation to morning espresso from the mini espresso maker. The location next to Villa Borghese can't be beat, is quiet, and can easily get to all of the sights. This was our second trip to Rome, and we would certainly stay here again.

Perfect Stay in Rome

We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if and when we make it back to Rome. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, clean and well appointed. Hal was super communicative and helpful and even gave us a wonderful recommendation for nearby food that we fell in love with and went to each day! This is a more residential quiet part of Rome which we loved. It is still within walking distance of all the main attractions. The neighborhood is beautiful and it felt like spending a week living as a local. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic large apartment in a great location

This is a fantastic large beautiful apartment in a great area. So many options with bus and tram routes so close. Hal the owner was so helpful, from the moment we commenced the booking until we left after our stay. Hal recommended some local restaurants which were very good and even took the time to book one for my husband and myself for a very special night . The location to the Borghese gardens also allows you to walk to some of Romes famous sites.
