This is the first time I've stayed in an apartment while travelling... and I must say the place I booked exceeded my expectations! I always look for accommodations near subway stations (where applicable) or close to some of the city's main attractions (provided the price isn't too high) and with a rating of at least 8 out of 10. This being said, Aruna Suites is one of the best places I've ever stayed! You can reach the apartment by metro (no more than a 8-10 minute walk from the Quintiliani or Tiburtina metro stations) or by bus (2 lines run less than 100 meters near the apartament). The area is home to several apartment complexes, with various food and drinks establishments, as well as some mini and supermarkets. And, as one might expect, the prices for these restaurants are lower than one might find in the city center. In fact, this is where I had some of the best gelato of the entire trip. We stayed for 4 nights and the conditions were definitely above average (especially considering the amount payed). The apartment was clean, with modern amenities, a garden and an air conditioning unit. Hot water, towels, fresh sheets etc... all was well! I was very curious about the breakfast option for this type of room, but, upon arrival, I saw that the owner had filled the refrigerator with enough food to last us 4 meals x 4 people. Good planning! The inside temperature was perfect, the beds were pretty comfortable. The addition of the courtyard was interesting and gave us plenty of time to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Moreover, the host was very helpful, polite and comunicative, offering directions when needed. There is probably more to say, but I believe, all things considered, this might be one of the best places to stay in Rome!

We were dropped off in the square by taxi and I used Waze to find the building as it is not clearly marked. Unfortunately my U.S. cell phone didn't work so I couldn't communicate with the information number provided. I expected to meet an individual upon arrival (7:30 PM - Dark) as an estimated check in time was provided. As we stood in the parking lot of the apartment buildings, I approached a couple entering one building and asked for directions. Fortunately for me, they used their cell phone to contact the number provided and was directed to the apartment location and keys contained in a lock box. Beyond that adventure, the apartment was clean, comfortable and centrally located. The next morning upon checkout, we discovered the location of the Roma Tiburtina Train and Subway Station which is a very short walk from the apartment. I originally considered staying in a hotel closer to the Roma Termini (Main) Train Station but am glad I chose Aruna Suites as it was in a better location and all worked out.

Problematic finding the location in the dark which may have been simplified if my U.S. cell phone worked. Now having experience with the location and knowledge of the Roma Tiburtina Station, I would return to the Aruna Suites.

Aruna Suites is a wonderful place! Firstly, I want to admit that the place is even better in real than I could imagine! So nice and aesthetic place. Suzana was awesome! She prepared so much delicious food for us and gave coupons and was so nice. She told all important things about Roma, what to visit, etc. I can't help but remember how amazing she was! We forgot our bag in the room at 6 a.m. in our last day, and have not much time before flight, and she kindly suggested coming and help us! Absolutely gorgeous apartments and person who works there! Highly recommend!

The only thing I suggested having are tips! Because in this situation, I would like to add them :)

The apartment was very spacious, more than enough for a couple. The location was also good and the breakfast coupons to a local coffee shop were a nice touch.

It’s on the first floor in a shaded courtyard so it’s quite humid/cool/dark (but probably good for the hot summer months though). I’d say it needs some cosmetic repairs (the sofa has some stains, the doors have chips etc) and probably a kitchen renovation, but nothing serious.

the location is very easy to walk to from the train station. The space is spacious and it's extremely well-equipped. The complementary breakfast and full pantry are a bonus. Contact was easy and instructions were very clear

Tiburtina is not the nicest neighborhood. The showers were a bit weak and although the apartments are new, it seems like the pipings aren't. The apartments are on street level, and although they are on an alley, one still feels that people are around. Beds were really not to my taste, as well as the sheets.

Location. Very close to Tiburtina metro stop. Ease of access to all parts of central Rome. This is very convenient for tourists. There are also plenty of food options around this property.

The bed was a little rough and probably needs changing. The tv in the main room is not smart/ so can’t access Netflix or prime. The bedroom tv has a fires stick which allowed us to stream.

There are restaurants nearby, the apartment is very clean, and it looks modern. The beds were also comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Although we didn't use it, there is a small balcony that one could use.

The door handles are bit flimsy, and I wouldn't normally comment on this but every single one felt the same. Also, there were mosquitoes, so I'm not sure if this is an exception because it was unusually hot.

We got an extremely sweet welcome, and our host even sent me birthday wishes later that week. The place was very clean and actually a lot more spacious than expected. And plenty of towels were provided :D

There is no balcony or outside area so it might feel a bit enclosed, but it's as the description says so it's perfect for a short stay in the city when you're always out and about.

Easy to access with inductions and Scooter parking in a safe place. The garden yard was an amazing environments and friendly staff contact via WhatsApp texts.

Air Conditioning is not repairs yet, using a big fan is ok. The coffee machine is not great quality due not enough hot water not same as a hot boiler.

The flat was spotless, the air conditioning was on allowing for a very nice temperature in the heat, the location is perfect close to a metro station, availability of breakfast was also an added bonus. Also a super friendly and helpful host.

Everything was perfect. Would stay there again 😊
