We loved the apartment. The interior space was excellent and worked very well for our group of 7, giving everyone room and privacy. The outside terrace was lovely . The apartment is so well situated in the old Jewish ghetto within the Centro Storico, that we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to see. The Colosseum was a 15 minute walk away and there were so many other historical sights on the way, I was exhausted before we arrived. Trastevere with its nightlife was just across the river Tiber and the Ghetto itself was quiet, but full of cafes, restaurants and shops. We didn't use public transport even once. We shall be back!

The apartment is in a fabulous location, no more than 10 minutes walk from heaps of attractions, five minutes from the wonderful market at Campo del Fiori and just across the river from Trastevere. The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. It is in an area that is very quiet at night . The two restaurants in the Piazza are both very good. I found Romeloft staff to be most professional and helpful. A great experience I have just enjoyed five wonderful days in Rome staying at Farnese apartment.

This apartment house is located in a VERY lively area above and around restaurants/bars. The neighborhood offers tons of restaurants, gelato, and cute little specialty shops. Walking around the city was easy and the scenery was beautiful. The apartment was very roomy with two bedrooms and two full baths (2 WC and 2 showers). The hot water was something left to be desired though as the water in the showers never seemed to get above or near lukewarm. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking meals; complete with spices. In the back bedroom during the evening hours (11pm-2am) you could enjoy listening to the Mamma Mia cast practice harmonizing/singing in the next apartment. The restaurants do not open to serve dinner until at least 7:30pm (8pm for some); but there is a huge selection in this neighborhood to choose from- all were good.

The automatic moka, super comfy bed, amazing shower and terrace really made our stay. The Trastevere is a fantastic area too!! Just down the street try Ristorante La Scala for an amazing dinner and Ristocampo for the most delicious panini!! Just wanted to say that our stay was fantastic!

We had a great time in the city and the apartment was the best place to rest our feet! Thanks Sibilla for suggesting the other appartment for my parents (the one in Navona) and thanks for being so patient and helpful. We have already recommended the appartment and your services to friends and colleagues so get ready for a flood of Spanish tourists!! It was great and I'm looking forward to visiting another of your appartments! All the best! Arantza The stay at the Campitelli terrace penthouse was fantastic!

You were unbelievably helpful in arranging the ideal apartment in the such a prime location. We found Trastevere perfect for a couple of young guys who wanted to stay in a lively area with lots to do and see. We will definately be returning to Rome soon, seeing as we enjoyed it so much. In addition to this the apartment itself was great and very 'stylish' indeed...We would describe it as being wacky! what with its brightly coloured walls and that crazy bathtub! Seriously cant wait to come back and when we do so we will surely being getting intouch with you again for assistance in finding a place to stay... Thanks again, Andy and Dan Dear Sibilla,

We found the accommodations to be comfortable, modern and highly functional. We even cooked a 5 course Italian meal in the fully equipped kitchen--just had to provide the food! Lorenzo & Sybilla were very attentive to our needs and made themselves approachable and easy to reach. A cell phone was provided especially for this reason which is quite helpful to Americans traveling abroad with (gasp now..) NO cell phone service! The location in Trastevere was PERFECT! Convenient to the centro storico including Campo dei Fiori and Piazza Navona only a fews steps away on the Ponte Sisto plus fantastic access to the Isola Tiberna and all its summer festiviites. Trastevere has a lively and distinctive character of its own which we found to be our personal slice of Italy right a our doorstep. I highly recommend Rome Loft to any travelers wishing for an authentic experience pleasantly distinct from the regular tourist trail!

Lorenzo and Sibilla are very responsive and professional, and we are very happy to have them as new friends. The concierge service that comes with the rental was also extremely helpful with all kinds of reservations, car services, and recommendations. This particular apartment is extremely fun and comfortable to live in, with its incredible light, expansive terrace, spectacular views and casual decor. And of course Trastevere is a great destination itself, as well as being right across the pedestrian bridge from the city center. We highly recommend enriching your life with a stay with RomeLoft.com. Our stay in the Trastevere Luxury Penthouse was wonderful.

They were very professional, the apartments are exactly like they are in the photos, and they did everything they could to make our stay perfect. They also organised a chef to cook for us in the apartment on the Saturday night - there were 11 of us eating out under the stars on the fantastic terrace in Vicolo Cinque - amazing. Rome is amazing, and make your trip a good one - book with Rome Loft!

The apartment is spacious and comfortably accommodates 6 people (2 doubles, 2 singles). It is however, "lived in" the owner's personal possessions are in the apartment but put away in cupboards so it's not like going to a completely empty, hotel style apt. This wasn't a problem for us whatsoever and, in fact, made it feel more homely and inviting. There is a lovely cafe next door where you can eat breakfast from 7am (very accommodating to one of our party who is a coeliac, they happily made her a sandwich using her own bread). It's also an ice cream parlour, restaurant and bar. While you are here book Da Mario restaurant one minute from the apt which serves fantastic, reasonably priced food with top class service. The concierge service attached to the apartment was also very helpful for booking restaurants but really everything is on your doorstep including a taxi rank right outside. Would definitely use romeloft again - bonus also that it's more cost effective than a hotel when there's a group.
