GREEN LOFT COLOSSEUM - Domus Ciancaleoni Apartments

We loved the quaint Monti Area. The lively restaurant scene makes it even more fun. Cavour metro stop is around the corner & 1 stop from Termini train station. The Coloseum & Forum are within easy walking distance too. You can get on bus 118 by Colosseum Metro & tour the Catacombs - a good tour to do on your own. The Trevi Fountain & Pantheon are about a 20-30 minute walk from apartment. The host is wonderful & very welcoming. She will help you with taxis & tours & responds quickly to your emails. She speaks English very well. Additionally she or her employee is onsite every day. The apartment is easy to access -1 key to building & another to apartment. The apartment is on the ground floor - a great feature after a long day of sightseeing. We would rent this apartment again - quiet location & great A/C.

The location of this apartment cannot be beat. It is close to everything including major landmarks, great restaurants and wonderful shops. Silvia is a lively host and shared some of her family history and history of the building with us. It was a safe location, A/C was perfect after hours in the Roman sun. wiFI was not great but we were there to experience Rome, not stare at our phones! We would stay again in a heartbeat!

This was perfect for our trip to Rome! Clean apartment and property and a great location as well, very close to cute shops and restaurants.

The positives:Close to important historic sites and great restaurants. We were out of the unit for most of the daytime and had a great time exploring Rome. Phenomenal corner of the world with friendly people. The negatives:We arrived at the correct time for check-in. Had to ring a bunch of times, texted the host, called, heard nothing back. Eventually someone else greeted us and checked us in.The unit was freezing with no way to heat the apartment. There was a radiant heater for us in a corner that had poor output even on the highest setting. The air con unit appeared to have a heat setting but this also did not work. Lots of items in the kitchen were broken, filthy or worn out. We asked the host if there were any more mugs as one was pretty much cracked in half. After being unsure what we were talking about initially she mentioned there were more in a cupboard, which we found… but the handles were severely cracked/ chipped on those too. The unit, while the same one, did not have the same furniture as the photos displayed. The photos make it look new and tidy, bright and warm with plants and trendy decor… and 10 years ago, it probably did look like that. Currently it looks unkept and forgotten and much of the furniture has been changed out.Upon checkout we tried to get in touch with the host for instructions, and heard nothing back. This was frustrating because it contradicted the listing promise of strong communication.
