About this property
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.

If you are looking for a nice, quiet place to stay, this is it. The food in the area was fantastic. Communication with the owner was easy and we had no problems.
Fantastic time in Rome, super apartment and location
Carmela is a superhost, the apartment is complete and charming, the area is great, central without being in the touristic pack, getting to bus or metro is easy, many good restaurants nearby, and the best gelato! Strongly recommended!

Perfect location to experience touristy Rome and more local Testaccio. The apartment had everything we needed and was in great shape. Lots of great dining options within walking distance. Groceries stores are also within short distance. Transportation to main attractions in Rome available via bus.
We had a lovely stay in this shady apartment. David, the landlord's son, greeted us upon arrival and was very helpful.A really good and safe neighbourhood with many good restaurants and nice squares that in the evening become full of locals, really nice.
We spent 3 weeks here-loved the neighborhood and place.The owner’s lovely mother greeted us and was readily available.The apt is functional and cheerful. You’ll find anything you need close by and the tram/bus are great!
Very nice location in a much quieter neighborhood. We enjoyed being away from the noise but able to hop on a bus and quickly get into the touristy areas. The apartment itself was very well equipped and comfortable. We had a great stay and would recommend this neighborhood for future guests.

The property location was great for us -- while it was within a walking distance from several major historical sites, it was not very touristy and we had a chance to live like locals. There was everything we needed right next door -- decent restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and an open air market. Several bus stops very within a block. I only wish that the metro station was a bit closer, but after all this is Rome and metro lines are not always close by.
The apartment itself was ok. It had plenty of space and had everything we needed (even more), but I wish it was less cluttered. I also found that certain things needed to be replaced or upgraded.
Apartment had everything we needed
Carmela met us and showed us round and was very helpful
Area was great with lots of restaurants
It's a 20 minute walk from Ostiense Station and is pretty central for sightseeing
We were able to walk to all the main sights from there
Perfect location. Wonderful host. Easy walkability. Lots of suggestions from the host. It's an absolute perfect stay.

Wonderful trip for three nights with 5 guests. Easy access to nearby parking and public transit. Beautiful building and secure. Very clean. Family friendly and lots of restaurant and food options nearby, within walking distance.
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.
Carmela was very helpful and it was wonderful meeting her, when we arrived from the airport. The apartment was perfect. Lots of space and everything we needed. Testaccio is true Italian neighborhood that we loved to be a part of.
Loved the place . Neighborhood was great. Good restaurants all within walking distance . Sites a bit further away but used metro until we figured out the bus was so much closer. Transport arranged by our host was also very good, prompt . Would I stay here again ? Absolutely.
Well equipped but space for meal prep and washing dishes was somewhat limited. Bedroom and lounge areas spacious. Didn’t use the laundry as there was no clothes dryer. Nicely decorated. Having the lift was very helpful. Lovely courtyard view from windows. Building was secure and quiet. Host was very responsive. Host arranged return to airport transport by van which was on time and very comfortable. Location was near buses and trams which we used a lot, and it was a 20 minute walk to Pirimide metro station which we also used. A transit pass is a great idea, which can be purchased at the Metro ststion. .
The apartment was very nice, and the location was great. Very close to public bus making it easy to get around Rome. Many good restaurants nearby and the BEST cappuccino right around the corner.
Carmela was very helpful and suggested a good restaurant for our first night.
Definitely recommend.
