The location- very close to Villa Borghese is (in my opinion) the most peaceful and beautiful neighbourhood in Rome. The whole area felt very safe. The apartment was so well equipped with everything you could possible need for your stay. The apartment was beautifully presented and the huge Ralph Lauren bed was very comfortable. The outside space was an added bonus for a city stay. Raniero lives upstairs and was very easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Hal was super communicative and helpful and even gave us a wonderful recommendation for nearby food that we fell in love with and went to each day! This is a more residential quiet part of Rome which we loved. It is still within walking distance of all the main attractions.

The property is lovely, the neighborhood is excellent and Hal is charming to work with. The apartment is well appointed, the best part is the lovely private patio. This property is close to the Villa Borghese and there is a lovely, large park for strolling, running etc. It is about a mile to the Spanish steps. This is a quiet upscale neighborhood away from the chaos of top attractions. it is not the easiest to get to everything (we used cabs but it is about 1.5 -2 miles from Coloseum/Vatican but there are close metro and bus stations. If you want to just relax in a safe, quiet area of Rome, stroll to the local taverna for dinner and have coffee at leisurely pace, this place is perfect. Would love to stay again. ##### Karen W.

Sep 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A real class act My husband and I are a couple of septuagenarians who came from a bike trip in Croatia which was pretty challenging, to Rome which was even more challenging but in different ways. We wanted to be near the city center, which meant being in crowds all day, but have a comfortable, quiet place to come back to and spread out. Hal's place is big (800 sf), and tall (gorgeous vaulted ceilings), furnished beautifully, including a king size Ralph Lauren bed to die for, with good pillows to boot! The kitchen and bathroom were small but very efficiently designed and equipped with high quality appliances. The living areas were huge (by most B and B standards), and one could simply stretch out, put your feet up after a long day of walking, and look around you at the significant art on the walls. We were a couple blocks away from the Borghese Museum, and a couple miles away from the Vatican, so we were able to see and go everywhere we wanted to on foot, though a cab ride would make sense, too. Beware the traffic and crowds, however. It's often easier and faster--not to mention healthier--to walk. Hal was also very generous with his time and availability during check-in and check-out, and arranged for transportation to and from the airport for us. A real gentleman! ##### Bob F.

May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay We stayed one week at this property. Hal was easy to get in contact with. Upon arrival he explained how items worked in the apartment. The apartment is clean and exactly as listed. The location is north of Villa Borghese, be ready to walk a lot. There were trams that run in front of the apartment but while we were there, they were not running, It is around a one mile walk to Metro station SPAGNA . We walked an average of 8-10 miles a day while we were there . Weather was nice in May so it was not a problem for us. There are 2 grocery stores about 7-10 minute walk from the apartment called TIGRE or DOC . You can pick up anything from there. The kitchen was well stocked and the linen and towels were provided. Hal arranged transport from the airport for 95 euros each way and that was quite helpful. The apartment has air conditioning which will be important as the weather becomes warmer in July and August. Netflix was provided and my kids enjoyed that as we returned after our visits. We walked to the Spanish Steps, Fontana di Trevi, Colosseum , Vatican City from the apartment. The apartment is in a quiet residential area so very safe and peaceful. There is a washer in the apartment which was helpful. Overall recommended! ##### ambreen s.

Its king size bed, bottle of wine and water were appreciated. It's a little quieter due to its location in the building but hasn't been modernized to the same level as PH2\. Raniero is a thoughtful host so you can't go wrong in either apartment. ##### Julie T. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John S.

The Air Conditioning and internet were excellent, with lots of lovely restaurants nearby. The only issue we had was with ants in the apartment, despite not leaving food out and keeping the dishes clean. The host responded to us promptly and tried to resolve the issue.
