Wonderful Island in the center of Rome: Davide Hjemmestyre

This beautiful apt is located at Santa Maria Liberatrice Square, in the heart of Testaccio. It's just been renovated (March 2010) with refined taste with precious material (Wood, Travertine, etc.) and furnished tastefully.
It's situated on the first floor of a building which dates back to 19th Century. It's composed of (1) an entrance, (2) a well equipped kitchen (pots, pans, a microwave, a dish-washer, a toaster, a fridge, a freezer, gas-stove, an oven, a grill, etc.). A corridor leads to a living room (3) with a comfortable sofa double bed, a writing desk, a TV, a DVD, a stereo CD, a chair bed (very comfortable). (4) A spacious and beautiful bedroom, (5) A bathroom with a wonderful travertine shower. Next to the bathroom there's a small box room with a washing machine. At the end of the passage there's a wardrobe room. Coffee, tea, salt, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, soap for dish washer and for the washing machine are provided.


Testaccio Area:: Even if in the heart of Testaccio area, calmness and peace are assured. The apt faces a quite courtyard. Outside the building there's a park with recreational facilities. The charming area of Testaccio is perhaps the last outpost of a nearly disappeared Rome. It's a slice of the city, next to Aventino and the Cocci Mountain, between Tiber bend at Ripa Grande and Piramide Cestia, next to Trastevere Area. It's nearly intact with the same original roman spirit. If you walk to Santa Maria Liberatrice, go around the famous fresh market counters (it is behind the building of the apt), Mattatoio, Campo Testaccio or to Acattolico Cemetery, you realize and breath the popular, human atmosphere.

Transport:: The apt is central, you can walk to the most important places in Rome but it's well connected by buses, trams, Piramide Subway. The subway leads to Coliseum, only 2 stops, to Piazza Navona etc.

Why the Owner Chose Aventino Testaccio: : Testaccio is a little Island where you can find yet the ancient and magical style of Living of true Romans. Close to each important Monument. Here you can have all the different way to visit and enjoy this wonderful City. The Unique Benefits at this Apartment: Year Purchased: 2009 - The apartment has been built with all the things everyone would like to have. I traveled. And I know what I would like to find in an apartment for my holiday. Owner Description/Comments: Kind and Available to contribute your perfect holiday in Rome, with all my advice.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a desk and a microwave.
This smoke-free apartment offers wheelchair access, a stereo, and books.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Very nice location in a much quieter neighborhood. We enjoyed being away from the noise but able to hop on a bus and quickly get into the touristy areas. The apartment itself was very well equipped and comfortable. We had a great stay and would recommend this neighborhood for future guests.

Fantastic stay in Rome
Very clean property that feels like home. Check in process they meet you at the property to make sure you are settled. At first I was unsure if there was enough room for the five of us, but as long as your okay sharing a pull out couch, then yes there is enough room. Location was fantastic - not too touristy so you get to experience the local Roman culture while having a short bus ride to the main attractions. Also very good value for the price we paid. Overall I would highly recommend staying here.

A real taste of Rome
We very much enjoyed our stay here. We needed to go Fiera di Roma on the airport train line every day for 10 days and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk to Ostiense station. It was about 20 minute walk to the area of Coliseum and Forum. The Testaccio neighbourhood is wonderful with a convenient grocery store and many restaurants. All of our communications with the host were easy and useful.

Wonderful Stay in Rome
The owner’s son, Davide, was welcoming and very helpful. The apartment was clean and well stocked with all the amenities. The best part of this place is the location. It is a short bus ride to all the sights but the neighborhood itself is not full of tourists. It was nice to get away from all the craziness after a day of sightseeing. There are many excellent restaurants nearby. We tried all of the owner's recommendations and they were all excellent. I would return if I visit Rome again.

Good location
The apartment was as descibed and served our needs well. It was clean and we liked the layout. The garbage/recycling situation could've have been better explained. Look for recycling bins in the park and do not use the bins next to restaurants. We were surprised to be charged an accommodation tax upon arrival as we assumed that it was included in the price. We had to pay 6 Euro/person/night for it in cash. Overall present stay!!

Nice Neighborhood
We loved our apartment in the Testaccio district of Rome. There were many cafes, grocery stores and restaurants nearby within walking distance. Don’t miss the Testaccio Market. It was very close and we were able to walk there. So much to see, eat and experience. Check the hours before you go they close earlier than we expected and aren’t open on Sunday. The apartment was clean, well-stocked, and centered in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. Our host was easy to reach and very helpful! We would definitely stay here again.

So charming!
Carmella could not have been more accommodating! She allowed early checkin so we could drop our bags and change since we arrived early in the day. The apartment was very clean upon arrival and right in the middle of a residential area which was much preferred over the touristy parts of Rome. So many walkable restaurants to choose from each evening and many cafes to enjoy coffee and breakfast before walking to Piramide station 10-15 min away. Couple of grocery stores within a block or two as well. Lots of activity with kids playing in the park across the street. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Perfect stay in a beautiful Roman neighborhood
This property really wowed us! Davide and Carmela are exceedingly kind, conscientious, and helpful people. The neighborhood is gorgeous and very convenient, with shops, grocery stores, transit access, parks, and the iconic Tiber river just steps away. The apartment itself is beautiful, spacious, and clean. By far our favourite place that we stayed during our trip around Italy. Davide gave us some wonderful recommendations we otherwise might not have tried, and we always got a timely response if we had any questions. We really look forward to booking this apartment and staying here again. Davide and Carmela truly have a real Roman gem with this apartment.

Great apartment in Testaccio
Due to weather we missed our connecting flight and got into Rome later than expected. Our host organized a car for our family from the airport and met us at the apartment to check us in. The heat was unforgiving while we were in Rome, so we were happy that all major buses stopped 1 or 2 blocks away and very easy to navigate. The apartment with air conditioning was a lifesaver and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
