We are a family of four, with two young daughters, and we had an absolutely lovely time staying at this apartment for three weeks in July 2014. It suited our family of four perfectly – adequate number of beds and space to spread out, plenty of hot water for showers, and a great kitchen to give us flexibility for times when we wanted to prepare our own meals. And it’s immaculately clean – which I rarely get the chance to say about any place we stay at. The location for us was perfect. Taxis are available very close by on April 21 street, and the metro is located maybe 10 minutes from the apartment. The metro, Bologna, is two stations removed from the main train station, Termini, so using the train for all our sights – near and far – was easy and convenient. Our favorite part of the apartment was the huge patio. You can enjoy the sun in the mornings while sipping coffee, or pull down the cover to be in the shade. The afternoon and evenings are completely in the shade, so we enjoyed reading, playing games or enjoying our own mix of hors d'oeuvres before venturing out for dinner. Speaking of dinner: we enjoyed local restaurants just as much as the restaurants in the touristy areas. This gave us a lot of flexibility and options with our schedule. We enjoyed being close to everything but appreciated being able to retreat to the apartment and get away from the crowds and noise. After wandering around very noisy streets late into the night, we were thankful we had our peaceful apartment that allowed us to get quiet, uninterrupted rest before the next busy day. The most delightful part of the apartment was Ida and her family. One daughter, Paola, lives in the next apartment, and both she and Ida speak English perfectly. They helped us out by arranging a car upon arrival and departure, and they gave us great advice throughout the weeks when we had many, many questions about the best ways to get to different places. And if everything they did for us during our three-week stay weren’t enough, Paola bailed us out at the last minute when we locked our passports in the apartment as we were leaving for the airport. I won’t go into details, but her valiant efforts allowed us to get to the airport on time. This apartment is absolutely delightful and lovingly handled by this special family. We highly recommend this apartment for your Rome adventure – and beyond!

My husband and I rented this meticulous well-furnished apartment for eight nights. This bright, airy appartment was quite spacious for the two of us. We appreciated having two baths in the morning when we were scrambling to get out for an early start. We especially enjoyed our morning cappuccino at Agostini's just a short walk from the apartment. They make a terrific afternoon spritz as well. We purchased a 7-day transportation pass for the metro and busses which were located within walking distance. Ida was very helpful in the planning process. I was fortunate enough to speak with her by phone when she was visiting in the states. (No need to pack face clothes. Ida knows her American guests need full size wash clothes). She and her daughter Stefanie were both available to us once in Rome. All appliances were in great working order. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. We made good use of the washer since we both traveled with only a carry on, The weather was beautiful so we able to dry clothes Roman style on our patio. Renting is the best way to experience the culture of this magnificent city. And to fully appreciate the culture we made a daily stop at Pico's for the best gelato in all Italy. Each day we looked forward to our return to this quiet haven away from all the hustle and bustle of the city center. I must say La Terrazza exceeded our expectations.

This apartment is within a kilometer of Bologna Station on the Rome Metro, near several grocery stores and is in a quiet location, which can be rare in Rome. The owner was most accommodating except for a slight problem with the A/C. We are a couple of retired folks who enjoyed the space and the 2 bathrooms. Terrace did not have the best views, but was a secluded space for an afternoon drink after a long day sightseeing. Recommended for any and all who want a nice, quiet place to stay.
