Wonderful Island in the center of Rome: Davide Hjemmestyre

This beautiful apt is located at Santa Maria Liberatrice Square, in the heart of Testaccio. It's just been renovated (March 2010) with refined taste with precious material (Wood, Travertine, etc.) and furnished tastefully.
It's situated on the first floor of a building which dates back to 19th Century. It's composed of (1) an entrance, (2) a well equipped kitchen (pots, pans, a microwave, a dish-washer, a toaster, a fridge, a freezer, gas-stove, an oven, a grill, etc.). A corridor leads to a living room (3) with a comfortable sofa double bed, a writing desk, a TV, a DVD, a stereo CD, a chair bed (very comfortable). (4) A spacious and beautiful bedroom, (5) A bathroom with a wonderful travertine shower. Next to the bathroom there's a small box room with a washing machine. At the end of the passage there's a wardrobe room. Coffee, tea, salt, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, soap for dish washer and for the washing machine are provided.


Testaccio Area:: Even if in the heart of Testaccio area, calmness and peace are assured. The apt faces a quite courtyard. Outside the building there's a park with recreational facilities. The charming area of Testaccio is perhaps the last outpost of a nearly disappeared Rome. It's a slice of the city, next to Aventino and the Cocci Mountain, between Tiber bend at Ripa Grande and Piramide Cestia, next to Trastevere Area. It's nearly intact with the same original roman spirit. If you walk to Santa Maria Liberatrice, go around the famous fresh market counters (it is behind the building of the apt), Mattatoio, Campo Testaccio or to Acattolico Cemetery, you realize and breath the popular, human atmosphere.

Transport:: The apt is central, you can walk to the most important places in Rome but it's well connected by buses, trams, Piramide Subway. The subway leads to Coliseum, only 2 stops, to Piazza Navona etc.

Why the Owner Chose Aventino Testaccio: : Testaccio is a little Island where you can find yet the ancient and magical style of Living of true Romans. Close to each important Monument. Here you can have all the different way to visit and enjoy this wonderful City. The Unique Benefits at this Apartment: Year Purchased: 2009 - The apartment has been built with all the things everyone would like to have. I traveled. And I know what I would like to find in an apartment for my holiday. Owner Description/Comments: Kind and Available to contribute your perfect holiday in Rome, with all my advice.

We loved our stay. It is in a quaint location and is easy to get to. Very walkable and there is a convenient bus stop nearby to get to Trastevere or the center of Roma. Toiletries are provided and there is a laundry machine. Overall a great stay.

A real taste of Rome

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We needed to go Fiera di Roma on the airport train line every day for 10 days and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk to Ostiense station. It was about 20 minute walk to the area of Coliseum and Forum. The Testaccio neighbourhood is wonderful with a convenient grocery store and many restaurants. All of our communications with the host were easy and useful.

This is a terrific property in Testaccio. We appreciated having the ability to cook when we chose to, although we often ate out at the great area restaurants. Communication was prompt. Check-in was a breeze. The apartment is very close to bus, subway, and train stations, so getting around is very easy. The area is extremely walkable. We would stay here again, and fully intend to do so the next time we are in Rome.

Great apartment in Testaccio

Due to weather we missed our connecting flight and got into Rome later than expected. Our host organized a car for our family from the airport and met us at the apartment to check us in. The heat was unforgiving while we were in Rome, so we were happy that all major buses stopped 1 or 2 blocks away and very easy to navigate. The apartment with air conditioning was a lifesaver and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Good location

The apartment was as descibed and served our needs well. It was clean and we liked the layout. The garbage/recycling situation could've have been better explained. Look for recycling bins in the park and do not use the bins next to restaurants. We were surprised to be charged an accommodation tax upon arrival as we assumed that it was included in the price. We had to pay 6 Euro/person/night for it in cash. Overall present stay!!

Great base in Testaccio

We like to stay out of the heavily tourist areas while still being able to get around easily. This spot in Testaccio easily fulfilled our needs. It is not a particularly beautiful area, but it is a mellow, "authentic" neighborhood with enough attractions to fill a day--and great pizza minutes away.. The apartment is right on a square with a playground for kids, and it's around the corner from another piazza frequented by locals of all ages. There's excellent public transportation from the apartment (busses and the metro). The apartment itself is well-appointed, spotlessly clean, has a comfortable bed (in the main bedroom), and a modern, efficient bathroom. Carmela met us when we arrived and checked in during our visit to be sure everything was going well with us. Realizing that noise issues vary from person to person, we do want to share that the apartment can be noisy at times, particularly when a child in the apartment directly over us ran around--which was quite a lot. However, our overall feeling about this apartment is that it was a good value and added a great deal to our week in Rome.
