The apartment is in a great location right by Colosseum; 5 flights of stairs but there is a lift though not for the faint hearted. The apartment has all you need for a family of 4. Very Roman and authentic. We would recommend it.

Nothing really. Its a bit dated decor wise and needs a bit of an upgrade but we enjoyed our stay and would go again. It was a bit noisy as I think a school was next door. We were only provided with 1 towel each for 4 nights stay and none were provided when we requested them. Not a big deal though as they dried easily and we reused them. All in all we were happy.

We arrived well in advance of our check in time and the host did everything possible to get us in very quickly. The location is fantastic as it’s only 100 meters from the Colosseum. The apartment was clean, secure and well appointed. There is an elevator for those who don’t like the beautiful staircase. There is a microwave, fridge freezer and four ring induction hob in the kitchen. The hob top kettle boiled within 90 seconds. One double bedroom and a very large and comfortable double sofa bed in the lounge. There is air conditioning and great ventilation. The shower is easy to use too! With a multitude of restaurants, grocery stores and even a pharmacy all within 5minutes walk, there is everything you’ll need on hand. The Colosseo Metro station is one minute from the front door so getting around is easy. When I return to Rome, I will definitely be staying here again!

There is a camera in the apartment focussed on the front door with a full explanation from the hosts. I was not sure it was necessary but it didn’t detract from the benefits of staying here. Also there is a school in the adjacent block but noise levels were very low. There is no shutter in the bathroom so at first glance it appears that privacy might be an issue, but we learned that the glass is treated so as to be one way only. It is not directly overlooked so not a problem anyway. Don’t let ANY of these points put you off though. The apartment and hosts are absolutely magnificent 🙏👍

Location, location, location. Close to the metro, bus, bars and restaurants… and then of course, the fora/colosseum!! The appartement itself is surprisingly quiet (gives on an internal courtyard) and is serviced by the world’s slowest lift (to my kids greatest amusement). Effective heating meant that we felt snug.

No extra beds as announced. Please update the description. A few more mugs would be nice… no other complaints!

Wonderful location. Simple and comfortable accommodations. The owner was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions. He was also so kind to help me make a dinner reservation with a local restaurant.

We would have liked more towels than what was provided. Also the air conditioner wasn’t functioning. It wasn’t too warm during our stay and we were out most of the day. The evenings were cool so it wasn’t an issue for us. Will definitely be an issue in the warmer months

Simply perfect to begin with . As you step outside of the building, the Colosseum rises in all its glory .The apartment location is excellent, a step away from the subway and within walking distance from all attractions .The apartment is unique ,quaint and quite beautifully decorated ,clean, and has a newly decorated bathroom and continuously running hot water .Special thank you to Sergio ,for his warm welcome. We were late and he patiently waited for us . Our family very much enjoyed our stay at this incredible property; we definitely will be back in Rome, and Martina Al Colosseo will be our second home here. Thank you ,thank you.

Great location, unique tenement house, atmospheric apartment with quite comfortable bathroom and beds. Great contact with the staff at every stage of our stay.

I would expect coffee mashine in the kitchen. Unfortunately it wasn't, but we could find coffee brewing vessel. Sometimes you can hear the sounds of neighbors from the staircase at night or garbage stuff at 6 a.m.. The acoustic is high. It may be disturbing for people with light sleep. It's such a small things. I would stay there again.

The location was amazing! Literally within sight of the coliseum! It is on the 5th floor so I’m glad the elevator was In working condition. The air conditioning worked well which was nice after a long day out in the heat.

The instructions to find the place and to get in could have been better. And when we were buzzed in at the gate I wish he would have given further instructions, i.e., turn right through the doorway, go to the 5th floor on elevator.

Location is unbelievable it’s like literally next to colloseum and so close to everything-piazza Venezia ,travi fountain and all the other attractions-apartment is big ,spacious,clean and you’ve got everything you need for your stay in beautiful Rome -owners are so nice and everything overall was great I really recommend it :)

There was no such a thing

A truely authentic feel to the accomodation. Two big beds and an additional sofa that could fit a child or teenager. The heating was easy to operate and worked beautifully. Large kitchen that we didn’t use as there are ample food places within a 15 second walk from the doorstep. When you stand on the front step of the apartment complex you are literally 20 steps from the Colosseum. There are five locked doors/gates to go through in order to enter your accomodation which made you feel safe. The beds were comfortable to sleep on and the premise was tidy and smelt nice. The bath is an original porcelain bath your grandparents would have had but we big enough to bath our two toddlers.

the lift is small but the building is original so it makes sense why it’s little. Its not a negative, just something to be aware of. The accomodation is like an AirBnB so you need to call the owner to meet you there with the keys to get in.

The location couldn't have been better. Considering the busy location, the apartment was quiet during the night so my sleep wasn't affected by city noises. The shower was excellent and the heating kicked in quickly as the temperature dropped in the evening (November trip), meaning the apartment was cosy.

Some mold in the bathroom was unsightly.
