There is absolutely nothing I could fault with this apartment. The location was superb! You could not be anymore central. Roman Forum - across the road, 5mins - Colosseum, 10mins - Trevi Fountain, 15mins - Spanish Steps....ideal for getting about and site seeing. The apartment is very charming in an authentic Italian style that totally adds to the overall Rome... More

The location could not be more perfect, the owners are lovely and responsive and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The kitchen was stocked for breakfast and snacks and it was wonderful. Finding a neighborhood market isn't as easy as you would think and it saved us time that we used to tour Rome! We will stay there again.

Four of us stayed two nights at this cosy little apartment right by the Roman Ruins and it was ideal for our last two days in Rome. The location as perfect with easy access to all tourist sites. Upon arrival, we were met by Silvia's parents, who are the sweetest people. Between their English and our very limited Italian, we... More

I would like to say some good words for this pretty flat! Special thanks for our hostess Silvia for such good reception and details. We are very glad to choose this place, because it's really 5 min. to Colloseo. It also has everything you need: iron, hair dryer, toaster, vacuum cleaner, washing machine. The last one and the hair dryer... More

We had the pleasure in staying in this great apartment during our vacation. There we two couples traveling, so the two bedrooms were just what we needed. The apartment was extremely clean, comfortable and in a terrific location. Everything we needed was provided. The wi-fi was a great bonus. Sylvia was a saint. Our flight had landed at a later...

We spent 3 days at il Grillo Ai Fori Romani. It was superb. Fantastic location near the Coliseum, Trevi, Trastevere (where our daughter went to school), the ghetto. Well located near good public transit options too. Silvia stocks the cupboards with good breakfast options and the apartment is neat, cute, and a perfect place to crash after a long day... More

"Excellent stay at Il grillo ai fori romani" Just bring your clothes to this rental (and you can even wash them in a washing machine and dry them on the outside terrace at the same level)!
