 | My wife and I really enjoyed the comfort and hominess feel of this place. It became our sanctuary from our hustle and bustle of touring, walking, and exploring. This is a great place to come home to; quiet, peaceful, secure. The location is perfect. You're in a neighborhood of locals instead of tourists. The local eateries were better than any we found in the tourist areas. We stayed in seven different places during our trip through Italy and this was our favorite. Courtney was very kind and helpful, and offered to make herself available with any questions during our stay. |
 | I can't think of anything. We had everything we needed here. |
 | I feel that C-P made our decision making easy and comfortable. The transaction was easy and simple. I think you made a great choice to include this location and owner in your portfolio of places to stay. Everything was just as stated on your site. |
| The apartment was a peaceful retreat from the city, with a lovely little terrace where we had breakfast every day, and an evening drink in the sun, which was a surprise! The main living area is a lovely big airy space. There was a comfy bed, plenty of pillows, towels etc; everything worked (though we didnt try the whirlpool bath). Its very handy for the Colosseum, there are roman ruins at the end of the street! Plenty of good restaurants nearby, and some minimarkets for basic provisions. |
| Information about local shops and restaurants would be helpful. There was a slight smell of drains at times in the bathroom, but not a big problem. |
| Booking dealt with efficiently, and it was good to know they were there if we had any problems. |
| I loved the location. It was ideal for exploring Rome. Carla, the owner, was so kind and welcoming. |
| I honestly can't think of anything. |
| Cross-Pollinate was wonderful. They answered our questions in a most timely way and arranged for airport transportation which was very convenient. Everything was just as described - actually exceeded our expectations. |
| This apartment was VERY charming and gave the feel of truly living in Rome. Décor and furnishing were lovely. The location was amazing, very close to the Forum and the Coliseum as well as many restaurants and shops. Subway is nearby as well. Quiet and peaceful, close to what you need but a nice getaway when you want to just relax. Carla, our host, was very helpful before and during our stay - she made us feel right at home! |
| I think the most helpful would be some written instructions with information about the neighborhood, where to find a grocery store, what to do with the trash, the key at departure, etc. Our host was completely reachable at any time, but having the information on site would save some back and forth. The TV service would go in and out, but we didn't watch much anyway. The stairs up to the dining area/platform might benefit from a railing of some kind, as they're a little steep and the wood floor has a bit of give when you walk there. |
| I found the Cross-Pollinate service very easy to use and the staff extremely responsive whenever we had questions. The photos and description accurately represent the unit and we had no problems connecting with our host to make arrangements for arrival. |
| Location! Right in the heart of everything. Hostess was delightful. |
| Wifi was a hotspot and not a hardline, so it was spotty to say the least. Lot's of mosquitos and no screens on windows, so we had to keep the windows closed at night...and place seemed a little musty. Seemed to be a lot of touristy food places (which were not very good...) would be helpful to have recommendations... yelp and trip advisor recommended horrible places... |
| Excellent. |
| Wow. This is such a cute apartment and we love the terrace and the neighborhood so much. It really feels like you're living in Rome, and not just a tourist. We were always happy to come back "home" and relax here, have coffee in the morning on the terrace. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Rome. |
| Nothing! |
