“Quaint, character location in great location!”

Martina was a fantastic host - she definitely added to the trip. It was also wonderful to have a more personal touch (she would give us tips on where to go depending on what we were looking for). It was also very quiet and in a great safe location. Definitely not a standard 'hotel'. There were minor quirks with the room - but they really just added to the charm. (the shower was tricky) - but not a major issue. I would 100% recommend it to someone. We also stayed at her other location 'via veneto' as we stayed an extra night. Also very nice. I preferred Martina House, my husband preferred Via Veneto - so I would say that they are both great picks!

“Our own apartment in Rome”

Once Martina took us to our apartment in Rome we were very satisfied. The apartment consists of a separate bedroom, living/dining room, small kitchen and full bathroom. The area is very quiet and safe - the local police station is on the corner. Supermarket across the street to buy supplies as breakfast is not included. We were one block off the Via Veneto. The apartment was clean and there was lots of hot water in both the kitchen and bathroom. There is a small clothes washer in the kitchen. The apartment is on the third floor but there is a small quaint elevator. Doorman on duty all day. The room view was on to the central courtyard and was very "local" cluttered with toys, plant pots and general everyday living. Martina was amazing, very helpful. My sister-in-law had the phone number of her friend's cousin outside Rome and Martina called him for us and helped us arrange to meet him for lunch. She also arranged for a limo to pick us up for the airport at 4am!
