Maison Cloe near Spanish Steps

Exactly as advertised and great central location.

We loved the location and the view from the large windows of the Tiber river. The apartment is on a curve in the road so the views are sweeping in nature. We expected a slightly more modern apartment from the pictures, but we quickly lived the “old world” feel. The apartment has wifi and mini split A/C in the bedrooms. The kitchen was adequate to cook if desired, but we ate out for all our meals. There are many restaurants on the streets behind the building and nearly every monument is within a 45min walk. The property manager was extremely helpful with location and access recommendations as well as for dining. We were coming into Rome off a cruise and the driver was unsure about how to drop us off. I texted with Ramin and he gave perfect directions to our driver. We had three family members unexpectedly needling a nights lodging and Ramin was very gracious in checking his and other nearby properties for possible vacancies. We loved the historic elevator that made getting many bags up one floor easier. Overall, you will not regret staying at this property. It is not a 5 star hotel, but it has charm and location that none of those hotels possess.

We had a wonderful experience here. The description was very accurate. 2 bedrooms with their own ensuite. Great location to walk to all the tourist sites with a local atmosphere. Many tasty and variety of restaurants. Would highly recommend this suite when visiting Rome.

1. Ramin was wonderful. Could not have a better host and I have traveled a lot. He went the extra mile many times and almost always responded within minutes. 2. Location is perfect. Could walk easily to most sights in the center of the historic district. 3. Owner lives in building and worked well with Ramin to correct any problems. Even gave us some of his special olive oil and salt to enjoy while we were there. 4. It has a new Bosch dishwasher, a good washing machine (but no rack to dry clothes so we had to hang on hangers to dry), good appliances in the kitchen and plenty of nice white dishes. 5. BUT the building is very old and the apt. needs a deep cleaning/painting. Walls are nicked and dirty, construction work not well done (e.g., the hardwood floors have gaps between the floors and the walls and no baseboards, and there are several steps up and down within the apt. that are pretty well marked but can pose serious hazards). In going from the second bedroom's bathroom to the kitchen, there are 4 steps that blend very well with the flooring and could be missed. Also, the master bathroom is VERY small, but the second bath is a good size. Small bedroom could use a new bureau. 5) I am a clean freak and this is not a good apartment for a clean freak. 6) I have stayed in much better apartments in Rome that are less expensive.
