Fabulous, large apartment in the middle of a great neighborhood! The apartment was breath-takingly beautiful!  And the attention to detail was so gratiously appreciated. We hosted a family wedding and this apartment served all of our needs. Lots of thoughtful details. Very comfortable. Beautiful layout for ourselves and any guests. We'd like to think that it is our Roma home away from home!!

We stayed at Renata near the Spanish Steps for 5 days at the end of Sept. 2009. We loved the apartment. It was modern, good size, and extremely well located. We enjoyed walking the very safe, well lighted, neighborhood and found good restaurants and a market within two blocks. Marcella, the owner and greeter, was extremely cordial and helpful with our questions. We walked to the Vatican and took the Metro to farther away attractions.

My only suggestion is to let guests know that private cars cannot enter this area, as we found out when we tried to return to pick up luggage on our departure date. Not a problem as cabs are readily available. I have recommended you extremely friendly website and services to numerous people already and will certainly use Italy Perfect for future services. Thanks again.

We spent two months traveling in France and Italy and Renata was the accommodation highlight by a long way. This apartment is one of the few that we booked over the Internet that exceeded our expectations - that said all the apartments we have used through Italy Perfect have been great. It is large, beautifully appointed and in an excellent location. It is even better than the pictures on the web site. The owner has gone out of the way in decorating these apartments and providing all the information you need for a great stay. We stayed here with our two daughters aged 5 and 7 - they loved it. BOOK IT NOW.

The Renata apartment we both loved everything about it. It exceeded our expectations and was so very comfortable and beautiful. Location was great because we used the Spanish Steps Metro [subway] to go everywhere. There was some noise, but the back bedroom was very quiet. Kitchen was great, as well as the bathrooms and the beds were extremely comfortable. It's probably the best vacation apartment rental that we've ever had. The ownerwas wonderful, although I didn't get to meet her, my husband did. The housekeeper who came by each day to do some light housekeeping was delightful. She didn't speak too much English, but my husband spoke a tiny bit of Italian, so that worked well. All in all, I would recommend this apartment highly. I could live there..... in my dreams :)

As we approached our apartment, we were surprised at how upscale and beautiful the neighborhood was. While it is in one of the nicest areas of Rome, we never felt out of place with our 3 children. In fact, it felt very safe, and there were many inexpensive restaurants from which to chose close by. The location turned out to be ideal. We found that we could walk everywhere.The apartment is beautifully furnished, updated and very large. There was more than enough room for our family of 5 to spread out. The kitchen is small, but is well stocked and can be used to cook anything. We never prepared a dinner in the apartment, but it could be done.The woman we rented from was lovely. She lives one flight up which made it convenient for any questions. She addressed any issues we had with promptness.We highly recommend visiting Pompeii. However, we went during December and were told it is almost prohibitively hot during the summer months. We took a train from Rome which included a transfer in Naples. If you are planning to do a day trip to Pompeii, I would recommend hiring a driver and settling on a price ahead of time. The train was a hassle and we felt we got ripped off on the way down. We also took tours of the Forum and the Vatican which we highly recommend. Even if you've visited the Pantheon during the day, it's worth a night time visit. There are many, many restaurants in the area, and the Pantheon is particularly impressive at night as are the fountains.Don't forget to try the gelato. We became addicted. It is very fun to try out the different gelato places.

We absolutely loved te Renata apartment. The owner met us and allowed us early morning check in. The location is perfect with wonderful restaurants and shopping. Centrally located. A very safe neighborhood. After many years of staying at the 5* hotel next door, the Renata was a wonderful alternative. Plenty of room. I highly recommend the Renata. Live like a Roman.

The accommodations were perfect. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. I'm particular and this apartment worked out beautifully - from the location to the linens and towels. The layout worked out great as well. My son, Tommy (12) loved the small room with the loft and my daughter, Sarah (10) loved having the larger bedroom in the back to her self with the large closet. It's hard to say what we liked the most - for me it was the bed in the master bedroom. The comforter and linens were great and it's the best nights' sleep I had in Italy. The only problems we encountered were the water pressure in the back bathroom shower. The kids used our shower which was fine. The location was perfect for us. We walked everywhere, even to the Vatican and the Colosseum. Each night we walked to dinner and back which was great and we loved all of the shopping. Our favorite restaurants were Nino's; Ristorante Mario; and Recafe. I was a big fan of the fresh produce market at the end of the street every morning. The vendors were so cheerful and helpful and the cafe on the way was great. I got pastries for the kids every morning on my way back from the open market. I would recommend anyone use Ann Hogan, private tour guide. She made our visit to the Vatican an amazing experience. We could not have done it justice on our own and 3 hours flew by. I will definitely look to using your service again when we go back to Italy - and your sister's if it's London or Paris. Pat, thanks for your help with the apartment in Rome. It was truly the highlight of our trip. I can't wait to go back

The accommodations were spectacular. I highly recommend "Renata" to anyone visiting Rome. We were centrally located, able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, yet on a quiet street. The apartment has every convenience a guest might desire including a/c, television, washing machine. My son takes Latin in school and has studied quite a bit of Roman history so the high point of the visit for my family was definitely the ancient ruins. We used the Roma Pass to avoid lines at the Colosseum and the other sites and I definitely recommend it. We had practically no wait at all. We did not take tours but used the Rick Steves guidebook tours to navigate the sites. I highly recommend his Rome book. We also enjoyed the Vatican. Although crowded, we avoided waiting in line by going after lunch around 2:00. The museum of Rome was very good and not crowded. It provides some history of the ancient Roman period.

The owner of the apartment suggested several neighborhood restaurants and we ate at a few of them. All of our meals were good. As for shops, Renata is definitely in the upscale designer district. There is a nice department store nearby that is a bit more reasonable...La Rinascente, I think. We bought groceries at the store at the end of the road as suggested by the apartment owner. She is delightful and very helpful.
