About this property

Selci | 10-minutes walk from the Colosseum!

Welcome to Monti, a lively district as spirited as the harmonious hodgepodge of atmosphere, history, and modern attitudes and ideas blending and keeping the pulse of this area pumping. A center of population in ancient times, the heartbeat of Rome is ever-moving, away from this district for some centuries, and then back again, revived with a mix of freshly 21st century ideas. Perhaps one of the most convenient urban areas, Monti is chock-full of public transit options, including subway stations that spirit guests all over Rome in moments. Not only is the awe-inspiring ancient center truly just outside my door, but the historic center itself is well-connected and even walkable from the property, not to mention an ever-active nightlife and cuisine scene I urge travelers to delve right into. The Colosseum beckons you less than 1km away while the nearby Baroque beauty and majesty of the Trevi fountain calls for your coin toss and imminent return to Rome. However you look at it, you can’t swing a cat in Monti without hitting ancient history, which I find an eternal flow of fascination, and I hope you do too.
I was hoping to evoke the vibrance of this artsy area with a variety of modern paintings and pieces, bright, inviting colors, and a general visual “POP”, tempered by softer, earthen tones and exposed brick arches echoing the history of the neighborhood, while maintaining all the comforts needed to feel at home. A full kitchen is at your disposal should you choose to snack, dine-in, or maybe enjoy drinks and appetizers in the lovely little yard/terrace while taking advantage of our wonderful weather. A/C keeps us all cool during the warmer months and I’ve included satellite tv and internet so all my visitors can stay connected while on vacation, as well as a washing machine; no one feels at home without clean clothes! 50 sqm is large enough for a couple to be comfortable or a single person to embrace the privacy after a day out and about amongst the crowds. Selci is decked out/equipped as an extension of the area as much as myself, and an excellent starting point to experience the blend of centuries.

The host was warm and friendly. The apartment was roomy and nicely equipped for a comfortable stay with excellent bedding. The location is also excellent, real close to a Metro station and a walking distance to the Colloseum. Several very good restaurants in nearby neighborhood away from the touristy area.

Lovely and big apartment for 2!

This place was really wonderful for a couple/single! It had a good size living area and comfortable bed, kitchenette is perfect for small meals and the host/managers were so lovely and helpful! Would definitely recommend to people wanting to stay near the colosseum. Only thing to consider is it’s about a 20-min walk minimum to other Rome attractions but otherwise it’s perfect.

Fantastico! This was a perfect, central home base, within a 30 min walk of almost everything. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The private patio was a great place to unwind after a busy, people packed day. There were a few things that were outdated and could use a refresh (like the microwave and electric kettle), but still got the job done. The people who take care of the unit were kind and attentive

Location was great! The host was fantastic, very responsive, and helpful. The apartment was spacious. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom and shower were very nice. The living room furniture looks great but was not comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. The sofa is very low for a 70 year old couple. The bonus for us was that there were several English speaking tv stations which played a lot of older tv shows such as Magnum PI , Law and Order, Miami Vice , etc.Overall. It is a great place to stay.

Fabulous location and space

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights. The location was wonderful. It was an easy walk to the Colosseum, metro, and food in the morning. The manager of the apartment met us on time to give us our key and show us how everything works.The apartment is on the walk-in level, which was great for us, as we had a lot of luggage.Across the street is a wine tasting business and we enjoyed wine there on our first night.

Nice

The apartment has an expected chic modern interior. It was clean though it has a certain moldy smell when you enter which the candles helped in reducing it. It has ample natural lighting in daytime which was cool. The kitchen wares and dining sets were so useful. The sofa was quite comfortable but for taller individuals, I had to crawl out of it. Overall, the apartment was a comfortable place to stay in. Market and metro are 2 minutes away. Would definitely stay in again.

Great location, that's about it.

This place is in a great location, about a 5 min walk to the colosseum, 10-12 mins to the trevi fountain, there's a metro station at the end of the street. That's the best part of the place. It was greatly difficult to contact Andrea the owner, it took up to 2 days to get a response back from her when trying to contact her. When we got there, a lady, not Andrea, welcomed us and gave us a VERY brief intro to the place, we felt like we were inconveniencing her by being there. The Wi-Fi worked well. There were mosquitos in the apartment, we got bit a bunch of times, had to kill a bunch of them. The washer worked but not the dryer, we had to hang dry our clothes, and we only had one set of towels for 5 days so we had no way to get dry towels. I don't think I'd recommend this place.

Hello Ben, We are deeply sorry about your bad experience in our apartment. In order to better understand what happened, we have made a quick internal investigation about this booking. We have checked all the messages between our booking manager and you, and we couldn’t find any particular delay, all the mail were replied within 24 hours at max. We have also talked with your key holder, that remember this check-in was pretty smooth and not particularly quick. During the check in she also sent the confirmation email for your transfer to the Airport, after showing you the apartment. Finally, regarding the problems experienced during your stay, we didn’t receive any claim during your stay. We would have been happy to help if we were aware about mosquitos, or we could have bring to you an additional set of towels if asked (towels change is automatically made at the 7th days usually). We assure you our goal is ti provide a perfect experience in Rome to all of our customers, and we take very seriously any claim or comment. We hope we will have again the chance to host you in one of our apartment. All the best!

Close to the Colosseum! Apartment needs some TLC

Love: the apartment is a 12-minute easy walk to the Colosseum and all the restaurants around it. The next street over also has a decent supermarket and convenience store. At the end of the street is also the Cavour metro train station so very easy to get around Rome for €1.50 per person. Air conditioner worked great and the apartment had a washer (no dryer though). Dislike: the host only messaged through VRBO and never provided a Whatsapp number to get quicker responses. This made it challenging trying to organize the check-in process when there was a national train strike. The host took 2-3 business days to respond to VRBO messages. The bathroom definitely needs a deep scrub as there's mold/mildew on the shower curtain, and in the shower grout lines. The bed was as firm as concrete and could use a foam mattress topper. The apartment also let in flies and mosquitos somehow so the perimeter should be sprayed with mosquito repellent. Overall because of the location, the apartment was great and would stay again if the mosquito problem was fixed, bathroom deep cleaned and bed made softer.

As listed this was an excellent location. Coliseum very close by and most sites, trains and known neighborhoods are within walking distance. The unit is on a quiet and safe street with police station a few doors down. Well lit too. Great restaurants near by and a market. We arrived in Rome at 8:00 am and the earliest we could check in was 1:00 pm so unfortunately we were stuck having to kill time with our luggage in tow in the extreme heat and uneven pavement/sidewalks. I would recommend planning for a later arrival in light of most check-in times for rentals. Hotels should let you drop off your bags so you can go explore. The unit was as described. We could not find the dishes; mgmt said they were there but we didn’t press it as we found we really didn’t need them. Detergent provided for one load. I would recommend mgmt provide some simple instructions because the machines are quite different from the U.S. and I had to research the manual online. There is outdoor space to dry clothes, but even with extreme heat & humidity the area is quite blocked from sunlight and took over a day to dry. Plan to wash earlier if needed especially in cooler temps. The AC worked well, only one night we couldn’t get it to be a little cooler. Be careful with steps when entering/exiting because the doorway is dark. Would be helpful to add a light there. Sofa was a bit low for me too, but might be fine for younger people to get up from. Overall our stay was great and would recommend this place!
