Portico D’ottavia

Barbara was so punctual and helpful and friendly. We started chatting well before the date of arrival, coordinating what time and where to meet. She accommodated our earlier arrival (thank you so much!) and then showed us the apartment. It is so lovely! 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, perfect for 2 couples traveling together. Clean and bright with perfectly placed lights and comfortable furniture and beds. The apartment is on the first floor (just one floor up from street level) so it is easy to drag bags up and down. There is a small elevator but we never used it. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is even a clothes washer! I just have to make sure I comment on the quietness of the space too... we were in the middle of the historic center of Rome, filled with bars, restaurants and lots of street noise, but then, we entered the apartment and it was soooooo quiet. A peaceful setting necessary for relaxation after busy days exploring Rome. I can't wait to return to Barbara's apartment! Thank you!

This apartment is in a wonderful location, central to all the main sights! Several cafes and restaurants very near.

Location, facilities, comfortable apartment and staff were welcoming. Even provided us with delicious cake and drinks when we arrived

Location was great proximity to most of the tourist sites and decent amount of restaurant options in few block radius. The Tartarughe Bar and Cafe was great only a few meters away around corner. Generous amount of supplies, hand soap, dish soap, napkins, salt, pepper, olive oil, ground coffee, etc. Bags to grocery shop and carry things home. The pots and pans were adequate, as well as the basic utensils. The Bialleti moka was great to make coffee. Hosts provided a small cake for our first day, as well as a bottle of beer and disaranno amaretto in fridge, which was nice. Beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets for everyone. The washing machine was great, allowing us to pack less and clean to re-wear clothes. Overall was a great value for the number of guests we had. Would recommend to friends and family visiting Rome.
