We have just stayed at Casa Trevi - the one bedroomed apartment with two sleeper couches in the lounge. We cannot express enough how fantastic our stay was in Rome - and a big reason was the accommodation. When we opened our huge green door and entered the courtyard, it was so peaceful and quiet. We could stroll two minutes to "Despar" or any other bakery for fresh rolls, cheese, salami, juice - which is incredible when travelling with children. We found this apartment to be a haven in Rome - right in all the action (two minutes walk from the best gelato in Rome, 3 minutes walk from the Trevi fountain) yet we never felt like tourists. Thank you Marta, we will be back!!

right in centre of Rome but be warned that you cannot drive into this area between the hours of 6am and 7pm due to restrictions so arriving and departing can be difficult with bags. PArking is 10 min away on foot and costs 20 euro a day. The apartment is quiet as ina courtyard and v small. also has twin beds that they just push together if you are a couple so not that comfortable. Bathroom huge, shower tiny! Could do with proper cooking facilities and the pots and pans were not the cleanest. Overall fine for a few days but not cheap at 100 euro a night for a tiny studio. If location is what matters then its perfect otherwise be aware of the downsides.

Casa Trevi No 3 was in a great location, just metres from the Trevi Fountain, and close to many restaurants and the hustle and bustle of the centre city. The bedroom we slept in was very spacious, but the rest of the appartment was tiny. The second bedroom just squeezed in twobeds. The living area was minimal with just enough room for the kitchen bench, a table and chairs and a couch. You couldn't sit on the couch and use the table and chairs at the same time. There was a foul stench in the whole place, rotting rubbish in the foyer that pervaded the building. The rubbish was removed a couple of days after we complained, but the stinking juice from the rubbish remained on the floor! Gross. I know Rome is expensive but I felt that NZD$600 a day turned out to be poor value for money. On the website it implies that the Spanish Steps are visible from the appartment, but the photo is actually a postcard you can purchase from the newstand, and the Spanish Steps are a fair distance away.

Marta has three apartments - two within a stone's throw of Trevi Fountain and another within 2 stones' throw ;-) We stayed at the latter. Perfect location - simply hard to beat. You can walk to any of the places you want to go, most of the best restaurants are nearby. But the best part is that once you are inside the building, you are cut off from the tourist bustle. Small apartment with a kitchen plus living room. Two bedrooms and a common bathroom. The bigger bedroom is pretty nice - decent size, large and airy with a view across the main street . If you open it, it gets noisy. Second room has twin beds but is smaller with no other furniture and a bit dark. Tiny bathroom - modern but the shower was a bit awkward. Best thing about staying there is the location and the feeling you get of living like a local unlike a tourist in a hotel.

Marta meets you when you check in and explains everything about the house as well as useful info like shops, restaurants. She's very nice and helpful.

Try the Forno opp Trevi for breakfast and Amore restaurant at the corner.
