Our stay in Rome was fabulous. The Flaminio apartment was so comfortable. The greeter was so thorough in showing us the apartment. One day he called to make sure that we were ok. We cooked practically every night. The bottles of wine that we consumed…. The neighborhood was wonderful. We lived in Castroni’s; too many wonderful food items to choose. Renting an apartment immediately puts you in a native mode. Some of the neighborhoods even spoke to us. The doorman was charming. Stefano [private driver] was very punctual in picking us up and taking us back to the airport. Our walking tours were great. We used all forms of transportation. Unfortunately, the exchange rate was terrible at the cambios, so we used the bank that was near the apartment. Their rates were very good. It really helped. When Ted and I return to Italy (Florence and Venice), we will use your company again. Thank you (Grazie).

We had a great time at both apartments -the Flaminio in Rome and the Prisco in Florence. We found everything to be just as advertised on your website - in fact, even better! We decided on ItalyPerfect after having a wonderful stay with ParisPerfect two years ago. Our hosts, Rene in Rome and Miki and Franco in Florence were delightful and welcoming. Everything in the apartments was of high quality yet both were informal and easy to use. The locations were ideal. The whole experience was so simple and straightforward to book and organize. We have already passed on details to friends. We look forward to booking with you again!

We were well pleased with both places [Toscanella in Florence, Flaminio in Rome]. Their locations are excellent and the facilities are very comfortable.

We returned home last Tuesday following enchanted and enchanting visits to Paris, Florence and Rome. The latter was the real summit in many ways thanks to the comfort and convenience of the Flaminio apartment. Everything worked out well from start to finish. We bought Rome Passes for 3 days during our stay and were able to take in a host of sites all around the city, including a walk on the Appia Antica. With the exception of one day, the weather was excellent. We'll be back for sure.

We spent five days over the Christmas holidays in the Flamino apartment and really enjoyed it. The location is excellent - it is very easy to walk anywhere you would like to go or to catch the metro. The apartment itself is very pleasant - comfortable, spacious and well-maintained. Rene is phenomenal. He is very helpful and highly professional. He really makes an effort to ensure that your stay is good and you have everything you need. We would definitely stay in this apartment again.

Rome was fantastic as always and the lovely spacious apartment worked perfectly for us from size to location to the the detail guide notes you shared. The porter [doorman]was splendid also and offered many suggestions as we set out daily explore, see and visit Rome..he even lent us his personal Rome small size guide book.

We would like to thank you for all your assistance in our recent trip to Italy. Both apartments were above my expectations and worked perfectly for us! The Flaminio apartment was so neat, was newly remodeled, well located. We will definitely recommend your site to our friends going to Europe.

We had a terrific time staying in your apartment... everything was great and Rene could not have been nicer. He gave us a little primer on where we were, and what was close by (banca, tobacco stand, market, etc.) We had plenty of room for five. We drew straws on who got the master ,and I lost! We especially enjoyed opening the windows at night for the cool breezes. The girls in the master complained about a loud bird that woke them up WAY too early. HOWEVER, in a day he migrated to the front of the building. We really enjoyed the terrace after a day out sightseeing...wine and appetizers (love those marinated olives from the market around the corner, and also found that great Moretti beer there, try the soft cheese on the brushetta also). We were able to walk to all the restaurants, and that was a big money-saver! I do recommend going to the Borghese -they were having a special exhibit of Raphael there at the time...you have to make reservations online for a two hour time -slot or you will not get in. They were turning people away left and right. I really appreciate all that you did to make things run smooth. Oh-I do recommend Roberto and Marzia (www.DriverInItaly.com) for our transfer. We were in a brand new Volkswagon van that had plenty of room for us and luggage. The driver stopped when we said stop. He was very agreeable to anything. We stopped in Orvieto (a lovely little village with a beautiful Duomo and wonderful ceramics) and then on to Civita Bagnoreggio (you must see this place to believe it) We took several side trips by train during our 10 days there. We went to Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre region. We had a wonderful seafood meal there-fried anchovy, octopus, squid, calamari,etc Wonderful!! Then,later in the week we travelled by train to Cortona-that is a magical place. We WILL go back there. All in all-the whole trip could not have been better. I hope this tells you what you need and hopefully will help someone else along the way. Again, thanks for a wonderful vacation.

We had a great week in Rome and enjoyed our stay at the Flaminio apartment. The accommodations were excellent. With the exception of low water pressure [a common issue throughout Rome, lb], everything was fine. The water pressure is beyond your control, so we don’t allow it to reflect on the apartment. We could have easily stayed there for a month, it was so comfortable.
The location was very good. We always felt safe and it was quiet since we weren’t on a busy street — this is very important to us since my wife and oldest daughter are light sleepers. It was great to be near Villa Borghese, the Flaminio Gate, and Piazza del Popolo. We walked everywhere to get to know the city with the exception of a couple of evenings when we took taxis home. We used the Metro only once to visit the Via Appia Antica and the catacombs

The owner was very accommodating and charming. I would highly recommend him. The apartment was very comfortable and in a great location. The apartment for me was in an ideal location...within two blocks of the Piazza del Popolo. From this beautiful piazza, walk to the left and within less than 10 minutes (but who's in a hurry in Rome), you have the Spanish Steps. The center street, Via del Corso, is for shopping, and to the right, Via Ripetta has plenty of good restaurants and a nice wine shop.

We had an excellent visit. We loved the flat. It was so comfortable, well outfitted and charmingly decorated in a style that matches our taste. In fact, we would be happy to return to it on a future visit. Flaminio is a perfect location -- steps to everything, yet pleasantly "off the beaten track."

Our trip was everything we had hoped - lots of uninterrupted quality time for the four of us - and more.
We all thought the apartment was great. Lots of natural light and afternoon breezes. Well equipped. Excellent location. Thank you for your help in making our stay possible.
