Some time spent scouring Google came up with Italy Accom - a Rome-based firm who rent out apartments, villas and farmhouses across Italy for holiday tourists.

The owners (Jill & Leon) are Australian/English and they were wonderful with the help they provided me and my partner in finding a lovely place to stay for our two weeks in Roma!

We got a lovely studio apartment located on Via Vittoria. This is one of Rome's best streets, with lots of lovely cafes, bars and shops nearby.

The equivalent in a hotel room in this area was at least 60 Euros a night more expensive, plus we got privacy AND space to stretch out.

Being able to cook your own meal with fabulous fresh ingredients from the local market was a delight! It tastes a whole lot better than the "stuff" from Italian restaurants back home.

Thanks Jill and Leon for your help. We had a wonderful time in Rome, in no small part due to your great service (and the lovely studio Vittoria we stayed in).

Rome is the experience of a lifetime! But, we'll be back - one visit is just not enough.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19182 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/10850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10492 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10492 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9645 We were very happy with our apartment which had a huge terrace overlooking Roman ruins.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9645 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7916 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7916
