We booked two downtown apartments which were absolutely tidy, and exactly as shown on their website. The guys of Roman Homes were friendly and gave us detailed information at every stage. I would recommend this company to everyone.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18642 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18586
We have rented the apartments Helios2 and Mirkos which are located in the same building in Via della Stelletta; one (the Mirkos) is on the first floor and another one (the Helios2) on the second floor. The apartments were pretty new and designed/furnished in a modern/stylish way, and this is quite surprising as they are located in the very centre of Rome where everything is so old and full of history. But at the same time it was really pleasant to stay in those apartments where, honestly, we could see that the owners had put so much attention to details.

We were quite worried to rent apartments as we had always stayed in hotels before but as we have one child of four and the couple we travelled with have two children aged two and four it was a necessity as four hotel rooms would have been out of our budget or, alternatively, in two hotel rooms (one for each family) it would have felt like in the metro during the peak hour. But finally everything went smoothly.

It was a great vacation for us (except for the weather as it has been raining nearly all the time) and, after buying good umbrellas, we have been able to enjoy all the beauties of the city . Also the food is fantastic and we recommend the Quinzi and Gabrielli restaurant that is located in Piazza delle Coppelle, a few metres away from the apartment, where we had a great dinner, although a bit expensive.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18586 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18310 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18310 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17876
For example, Domus Colosseo is a big apartment at Coliseum, with a 360° view over Rome from its terraces. Ideal for large groups and families looking for a very central penthouse with full comforts.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17876 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17769 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17769 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17624 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17624 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17462 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17462 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17324 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17324 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16883 romeloft.com.

There are a lot of apartment rental agencies in Rome, but be very careful: the most famous ones won't give you the best quotes. I've sent many emails to have the best deal possible, and I was not surprised to hear the best proposals from the smallest agencies. I finally booked Domizio apt in Piaza Navona. I was surprised by the stylish furniture, and the owner was very friendly.

Everything was very familiar - something I did really appreciate.
My sister who's been in Rome for a year has not been as satisfied with another agency: the photos were much better than reality.

I think Romeloft was really OK: the website is decent, they were quite fast answering emails, but the point is... the apartment was better than I expected.

Can't wait to come back to Rome! Amazing city. Chaotic but too beautiful.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16883 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16161 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16161 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15849 Romaclick.com all the hotels are centrally located. The choice of accommodation can vary from a cosy, petit and yet luxury guest house to a bigger hotel or even to an apartment in the city centre that will offer you all the comforts of a high level hotel within your privacy.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15461
In San Giovanni near shops and 10 minutes' walk from the colosseum. Very good value at 150 euro per night for the apartment. They also rent the separate rooms at 50 euro per night. I'll be back there. Bravo.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15461 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13207 www.italybyitaly.com it is run by the same people.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13207 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13027
Services and hotel were provided by them: we enjoyed Rome and our stay in Italy very much. If you are a group of people and you need help in finding a hotel or a special itinerary, just contact them via mail or by phone call.

Last, but not least, their website is absolutely amazing!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12996 to reserve a perfect pick up service from the airport with a blue Mercedes, they also gave us tips about restaurants, (Hostaria de Pegno near Piazza Navona) nightlife, and sightseeng.

About the hotel La griffe - it's beautifully done and still very comfortable (fashionable and friendly). The location, in Via Nazionale, is great and the staff are first rate. If you can get a good
room rate, (with Rooms Accomodation we payed 375 € (special offer). I think this is a nice hotel for both the business and leisure traveller.

That's a hotel reservation service, we booked hotel La Griffe in Via Nazionale, they gave us the lowest rate.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12996 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12703 www.feelhomeinrome.com and they booked me a taxi for 65 Euros. I only found out later, when the taxi didn't turn up for the return journey and I had to hail a cab from one of the main streets, that the official charge is 30 Euros to the inner city. You can also get a bus for eight Euros to termini.

By the way, even though the apartment was good, I wouldn't recommend feelhomeinrome.com as they apply hidden charges for cleaning the apartment and work with a dodgy taxi company that is charging more than double the official fare.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12703 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12689
