    Shower head in the room should be moved to the side wall over the drain which would give much more room to move within the shower stall.

    Clean, excellent location, friendly staff. Perfect in every way.

    My husband and I spent 3 nights at Relais Circo Massimo, and we loved it. We arrived at night, and Elena had left everything explained in detail for us to get into the building and room. The room was very clean and quiet. Is located conveniently at a walkable distance from every interesting place you may like to visit in Rome. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Rome.

    Fantastic accommodation, highly recommended. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. 2 minutes from the metro with which you can reach everything in Rome. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Different complimentary snacks, fruit, water, drinks, tea and coffee were provided, which was very much appreciated. Girl at the reception is so kind and helpful with anything you might need. I would again stay here even if the reason for my visit of Rome wasn't in that neighbourhood.

    We didn't mind this at all, but just note that the room we stayed in had an open glass shower in the room itself, separate from the bathroom.

    Elena was tremendous and so helpful and kind. The hotel is located in a beautiful neighborhood on the Aventine Hill, far enough from tourist spots and close enough to walk to them all. It was clean, bright, and a wonderful spot to return home to at night and for siesta. We'll definitely return!

    One of the best stays of my life!

    As far as areas of improvement, there isn’t much. The shower is in the bedroom which is a bit different. And can potentially be a little awkward if you’re sharing the room with a friend. Not a concern if you’re a solo traveler or traveling with your significant other. My apartment was also right next to the front desk but they kept the noise level down which I appreciated.

    When it comes to travel accommodations, I have high standards. My stay at Relais Circo Massimo blew my expectations out of the water. First off, Elena and her staff did a great job communicating with me prior and during my booking. They always responded promptly and there was never a language barrier as you sometimes have with international travel. They provided me with all of the information I needed to make my arrival comfortable. During my trip to Italy, I stayed at six different properties that were booked through Booking.com. Circo Maximo was by far the best of the bunch. The property is located in a nice part of Rome. And a quiet part of the city which is a feat in itself in such a bustling city. Despite the neighborhood, it’s still in a prime location: a short walk to the Roman ruins. And also three minutes or so by foot to get to the Metro and bus station. I’m a light sleeper so quite accommodations are big in my book. The apartment is also secure. There’s a gate that you have to open using a code that’s given to you. And then a different code to open the front door. And finally, keys to enter your apartment. This provides a nice sense of security. With all of this being said, the beauty is in the details. They had everything you need in the apartment and then some. The bed is comfortable. They provided hand towels (only one other property out of the six I stayed at offered this amenity). There’s a mini fridge in the room. They provided you with helpful information through a letter that was printed out and provided upon check-in. They have hand lotion (the only one out of the six to do so). They provided a generous number of complimentary snacks and soft drinks/beer. There’s also a nice garden where you can hang out. Talk about providing all of the amenities you need and then some! If all of this wasn’t enough, Elena was proactive in helping me out. She knew I was planning to travel by bus to get to The Vatican.

    The room is big enough for 2 people no more. Although we had 3 suitcases

    Great cosy room with a little terrace. Love the decor and was handy to move around. Not far from the Colosseum and other attractions. Lots of restaurants around the corner as well. We have a relaxing time there. Highly recommended

    I would prefer a more private window curtain option.

    I found the location and the price the best things about this rental. It was clean and comfortable as well, and the staff was very communicative and friendly. It is in a really nice neighborhood and is quiet. I felt safe and out of the hustle and bustle yet close enough to get to nearby sights. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Elena and Alaksandra were so friendly and accommodating. I have never been to Rome before and Elena took time to go through a map and show me all the best spots to go, additional to the usual tourist attractions. She showed me all the best authentic Italian restaurants, where the locals like going, and I had the best tiramisu of my life at one of the places she recommended. The hotel itself was spotless, so clean you could eat off the floor. Very comfortable bed and quality pillows. Location was great, walking distance to colosseum and nearby attractions and steps from public transport that would take you directly to Vatican City or other, further away sites. Could not recommend this place more.

    Clean, comfortable, place to stay in Rome with responsible and responsive owner

    The kitchen and bathroom felt more spacious than the bedroom--there would be limited space if it were a couple who had a fair amount of luggage, for example.

    The owner was very helpful with my questions beforehand. They can arrange airport or train station transfers for you--just ask. All the directions, such as getting into the apartment, were very clear and worked perfectly. There is a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and stove top, but no oven. I saw a rose garden (Roseto Comunale) nearby that I think is within walking distance, which would be nice place to visit in spring and summer evenings. The neighborhood looks pleasanter than where I had stayed earlier in Rome. It is very near the Circo Massimo Metro station, and if you don't have much luggage, you can walk from the metro station to the apartment.

    Everything was amazing. Elena reached out a couple of days before our arrival with all the instructions, we did the check in after noon, so even when they weren't available to receive us personally we had all the steps to do our check in and the morning after were able to meet Elena who went above and beyond, giving us an umbrella because it was raining and we didn't have one. The room is equipped with everything you'll need, the beds are super comfortable and it was very clean, like a new bedroom clean. The location is perfect, we arrived from Termini in the subway. Also, if you just want to get lost in the city you just need to go out and start walking, I assure you will be able to find amazing things to do within walking distance. Thank you for everything, hope to visit again soon!

    The residence is in a nice area, clean, safe, walking distance to Colosseum and multiple restaurants. a great bike shop that we did a night tour of Rome w/dinner. So fun and historically interesting . Very nice kitchen area. Elena left us fruit, treats, had many beverages available. Elena, is kind, thoughtful, she went above and beyond to return a jacket I had left. Customer service at it's finest!

    This is such a fantastic apartment and great price as well. It was extremely clean, had all of the toiletries and kitchen amenities you could think of, and the staff was extremely nice. It was just a short walk from some of the ruins and a train station so it is easy to get to and from. Not to mention the neighborhood itself is lovely and very safe. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Rome and will stay there again if I come back to the city in the future
