Domus Iuliae

On arrival, we were greeted by the owner of the place. She was the best - very helpful, full of advice and little tips as to when and where to go. She gave us a map showing the main places of interest, and explained how the public transport works. She was very friendly and pleasure to talk to! Also, we loved the location. It's only 15 minutes walk to Colloseum, and the same walking distance to the church that Pope Francis is buried in - a magnificent place. It is far enough from Vatican, but the closest metro station is only about 5 mins walk, so it's very easy to get to wherever you want to in the City.

The location was great. We were able to walk all over Rome with no problems. It is also walking distance to the train station. Oriana was terrific. She gave us some very good tips. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The apartment was nice and quiet.

Nice little guesthouse with 4 rooms which was a 5-10 minute walk from the colosseum! Lovely lady who greeted us was so helpful in giving us information about all the attractions and things to do and recommendations. The room was clean and had soap and shower gel/shampoo and most things we needed. Was a nice touch to leave complementary fruit and water and wine in the room! Breakfast was nice with coffee/pastries/Mediterranean style breakfast etc. Everyone we met at the property was very kind. Location we found was great - about a 15 minute walk from the train station in a nice part of the neighbourhood, and 5 mins to domus aurea and 10 mins to the colosseum/forum/palatine hill. Metro station also close by for coming back / going further to the other side of the city. Lovely restaurant round the corner and others a short walk away in Monti. They also were very kind and let us leave our bags there for the day after we checked out and gave us a spare key to be able to retrieve them before our flight which was very generous. We had a great stay there and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Rome and would stay here again if we come back to Rome!

When we arrived to the place, the host was waiting for us right outside the apartment building. He kindly showed us the place and told us all the information we needed, I thought it was very nice and quite extraordinary in Rome, usually we search for the right apartment building and entrance for a while before we manage to find it and get inside :). We got some free fruits as a gift. The room was very clean and looked beautiful, even though bit small but that is normal here. We appreciated the location really close to the center of Rome.

The reception, help and support from the staff was excellent, as my partner had hurt his knees. The room was very practical, clean and updated, had even a small fridge, soft towels and wonderful soaps. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful with great coffee. Felt homey, quiet and was very convenient (with a lift) at short distance from Roma Termini and other main locations such as the Colosseum.
