Location

The building fronts on Lungarno de' Cenci and is steps fro...m Via Portico di Ottavia, the heart of the "Ghetto" the historic Jewish district. Campo de' Fiori is also nearby, the largest open air market in the center of Rome. Piazza Navona is a short walk, too. Largo Arenula and Piazzale Torre Argentina are around the corner. This area has great transportation with a trolley line that leads to Trastevere and busses to the rest of the city.

Rome lovers who return year after year always look for apartments in this prized Piazza Navona/Campo dei Fiori area where they are transported to an old world city with its winding streets lined with buildings that date from the 1400s - 1800s.

Exterior

The building can be entered both from the Tiber side as well as from a small street that runs parallel to the Tiber. The entire apartment opens onto the small street. This shelters the apartment from the sounds of traffic on the river side.

Enter the building through a spacious courtyard.

Interior

This apartment is appealing for large families or several people who want a roomy apartment in an great historic center location. The furniture is basic and rather hodge-podge, with some odd artwork, knick-knacks, but if you can overlook these shortcomings you will enjoy a comfortable apartment and an excellent location.

A large foyer leads to a living room with a recent and comfortable sofa bed and two armchairs, a large separate dining room and a large and completely equipped kitchen. The apartment is comfortably furnished, the furniture is basic, some older pieces, not antique and not fancy, but this is a good apartment for a large family or group.

The dining room, living room and master bedroom overlook a small side street that runs parallel to the Tiber river. The dining room is very pleasant and bright, perfect for gathering the family or friends round the table for meals, especially during the holidays. You may feel like cooking in the large and well-equipped kitchen where you will also find the washing machine.

There are three bedrooms, all minimally furnished. One has a queen sized bed and en suite bath with shower over tub. A large walk-in closet has a rolling clothes rack and some shelves.

Second and third bedrooms share a hallway that leads from the kitchen. These rooms overlook the internal courtyard. The larger room has a clothing rack and there is a closet located in the shared hallway for use by both bedrooms.

The third bedroom has two single beds. The room is quite small, sleeping space only.

The second bathroom is off the main hallway. It has a cabinet-style shower as well as the usual fixtures.

The two larger bedrooms each have a portable air conditioner.

The bathrooms are older. The kitchen is large and very well laid out but somewhat dated.

To sleep up to 8 people, there are two hassock-beds that unfold to form cots, suitable for children.

  A Comfortable Suite in a Great Location!

  Left on 10/23/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  
  Our party of two couples had a terrific stay in the Lora during our one week visit at the end of September this year. The apartment is in a nice building in a good neighbourhood close to the Tiber and the Ponte Garibaldi. There is an elevator in the building, great for moving luggage up or down from the apartment or if you don't like stairs.
  
  The apartment was perfect for our needs. The greeter Daniela, whom we found to be most helpful, had left a bottle of wine and box of cookies for our arrival. The kitchen is well-equipped, with modern appliances (including dishwasher). There is a clothes washer and drying rack. The living room was very comfortable, with a large sofa and two chairs, internet and a TV. The dining room was nicely furnished, with a dining table and covered chairs for six or more people.
  
  The suite has two large and spacious bedrooms and one smaller bedroom. Our bedroom had an ensuite bathroom (including bathtub) and walk-in closet. Our friends in the other large bedroom used the small bedroom as a sitting room, with the main bathroom just across the hall. There was plenty of hot water, and the air conditioners worked fine.
  
  Our bedroom had some low-level street noise, but this did not interfere with our sleep. When our air conditioner was on, it completely masked any outside sounds. Outside noise was not an issue at all on the courtyard side.
  
  The apartment is in a fabulous location, with Campo de Fiori, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona only short walks away. We walked to every major site and attraction in Rome without difficulty.
  
  Across the street from the apartment is a well-stocked grocery store. We ate in the suite every morning and on some nights, and got everything we needed either from the grocery across the street or from the Campo de Fiori market a few minutes away. It is also only a short walk to the fine restaurants of the Trastevere area.
  
  We would visit the Lora again in a minute. Thanks to Italy Perfect for a great vacation.

  A great place to see Rome by foot.

  Left on 08/13/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  We were met promptly after we arrived. The apartment was clean and tidy. The kitchen was well-equipped. The apartment was spacious and although centrally located, it was quiet. It was hot during the day, and the air conditioners worked well when we needed them in the mid- afternoon and evening.
  
  The location is outstanding! We walked to all of the places we wanted to see! The great location allowed us to do an activity in the morning, come back to the apartment to cool out during the hot mid-afternoon hours, and then go out again to experience Rome in the evening. The outdoor restaurants in the nearby Jewish quarter were great and convenient. A decent grocery store is located right across the street from the apartment!

  Great apartment and great location!

  Left on 08/13/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  The apartment was exactly 'as advertised'. Spacious (could easily accomodate a group of 6) and well decorated. Kitchen was very well equipped and a large formal dining room for 10 people. The apartment is walking distance from most of the major sites which is a huge asset. The greeter was very helpful. She not only checked us in the apartment but she walked us around the neighborhood to show us where to shop (e.g. bakery, grocery store, etc.) If you stay in this apartment make sure you go across the river to Trastevere. It is a nice, family neighborhood (few tourists) with great shopping and resteraunts. Make sure you try Taverna Trilussa in Trastevere - the food and service is fantastic!!

  Perfect in Every Way

  Left on 03/23/2011 for a stay in September 2010
  
  

  The Lora apartment was an excellent choice for our family of five--close to everything but without any serious hill climbing. Four of us are slightly disabled but still walking--balance and pain problems. The walks to the Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Coliseum were all within our range. Best of all, the Lora neighborhood near the Jewish Ghetto brought real Rome to our doorstep. We ate dinners outdoors at the many fine restaurants nearby and strolled in the late afternoon and evenings throughout the most pleasant, non-touristy streets and plazas. For groceries we had a Coop Market right across the street with fresh meats, vegetables, breads and pastas--wine and beer of course, too.
  The Lora interior was perfectly suited to our needs. The spacious kitchen, living and dining rooms gave us plenty of space to relax. The bedrooms gave us a place for quiet away from the center of the apartment. The kitchen held everything we needed to prepare wonderful breakfasts and one or two dinners when we weren't out on the town. The furnishings were comfortable and the artwork accented the decor perfectly. The Lora felt like we had stopped in at someone's beloved home for a week.
  Daniela, our greeter, made us feel right at home immediately, and as others had experienced, gave us a grand tour of the neighborhood after our introduction to the apartment. We called her with questions from time to time and she always shared her time with us generously. She made an early trip into Rome on the day of our departure so we could get to our train to Florence on time. She was a great help to our group of novice travelers. Every restaurant we went to on her recommendation was truly a great Italian dining experience.
  My wife and I will travel to Rome again soon--without the kids (adult kids!)--and spend at least two weeks this time. We'll let you know when we're ready for another wonderful apartment through Italy Perfect. Thanks so much for making this week in Rome so memorable.

  Family in Rome

  Left on 12/27/2010 for a stay in November 2010
  
  

  Accommodations were great. The apartment was actually bigger than we had perceived through the pictures and video. We had my mom (needing a wheelchair), my two twenty something sons, my daughter (attending college in Trastevere), my husband and myself. The lift facilitated my mom's needs with no problem. Daniela (our greeter) made sure everything was working properly and gave us a great introduction to Roma. We have commented that the apartment made our Roma experience something that we shall always remember.
  
  We loved the location of the apartment. We were in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go - either by walking or the very convenient bus depots. We did not feel like we were in a tourist trap neighborhood.
  
  Our suggestion would be to eat in Trastavere. It is a quick walk across the bridge and the food was delicious and a little cheaper than the Roma piazzas (you have to eat there too). The market at Campo was close and fun! Also, we enjoyed the evening stroll from the Spanish steps.

  Italy Perfect is perfect

  Left on 11/08/2010 for a stay in September 2010
  
  

  We were two couples and one single male ending our tour of Italy in Rome for one week. The Lora apartment more than fulfilled our needs. Danielle meeting us to help us understand the workings of the apartment and appliances was so helpful. The living room was so spacious and comfortable for all of us to meet and relax. Right outside the door was a supermarket, shopping, dining and a wonderful latte cafe where we could get the best latte in the city. The kitchen of the apartment was huge and well appointed. Location in the Jewish Ghetto enabled us to walk all over the city and across the river to the Vaticcan and Trastevere. I absolutely cannot think of one thing negative about this apartment. Pleasing five people is not an easy task but we all loved this place. Thank you, thank you for making it so easy and efficient to rent through Italy Perfect. We will be back!

  Wonderful

  Left on 07/12/2010 for a stay in June 2010
  
  

  Lora was a perfectly situated apartment for our needs. It was close to transportation, easy walking distance to all sites, and surrounded by great restuarants within a 15 to 20 minute walk. Our greeter was prompt, the apartment set up for us, and was a wonderful space for two couples to enjoy. I can't wait to return!

  Excellent stay in Rome

  Left on 07/01/2010 for a stay in June 2010
  
  

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rome, in addition to all the sights, we really enjoyed the apartment. The location is tops, the neighborhood is very interesting and pleasant. It is well supplied with restaurants, shops and a grocery store right across the street. The kitchen in the apartment has recently been redone and is very well equipped. The apartment is nicely decorated and has all the ameneties. The big and unexpected surprise was the greeter ,Daniela. After showing us the ropes in the apartment, she walked us around the block to introduce us to the neighborhood. She pointed out the bakeries and several restaurants, and gave us a brief tour of the Roman Ghetto area. She was a real dynamo and so very charming and pleasant. I have rented apartments all over Europe and I have never had such an introduction to an apartment. What a winner.

  We really enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the apartment.

  Left on 01/22/2010 for a stay in December 2009
  
  

  The apartment was a perfect place for our family of 7 and an even more
  perfect place to celebrate Christmas.
  
  Daniela our greeter was awesome. She took considerable time showing us
  how the apartment works, gave us a lengthy tour of the neighborhood and
  most considerately, she brought some Christmas decorations into the
  apartment to help us feel more like Christmas. She also left us a bottle of
  wine and pasta. Both of which we used to celebrate Christmas.
  
  The Living room was a great place to wake up to a visit from Babbo Natale.
  The Dining room made a great place to enjoy breakfast of French Toast
  made from Panettone. It also made a great place for a Turkey and Pasta
  Christmas Feast.
  
  The only problem was that Caesar (Bust of Caesar in the Foyer) would
  frighten an un-expecting resident who was wondering the apartment in the
  dark.
  
  The location of the apartment was excellent. Most everything was reachable
  by foot. The Vatican was a healthy walk but enjoyable. Follow the Tiber and
  you are there. Campo de' Fiori is just a ten minute walk with a wonderful
  market each morning and many great eating establishments. Lora is
  positioned in the center of the Jewish Ghetto with many Jewish options. A
  grocery store is out the back door of Lora so shopping is made easy.
  
  The booking packet that Italy Perfect provided was outstanding. It was full
  of good tips on eating, shopping, and attractions. It had great directions
  and important tips for the traveler. They thought of everything we forgot to
  think about.
  
  We really enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the apartment.

  A Roman Holiday

  Left on 01/05/2010 for a stay in December 2009
  
  

  Our family rented the Lora after Christmas and into the New Year. What a great choice!
  The apartment was very clean and spacious with two bathrooms and three bedrooms. It had all the modern amenities including a nice kitchen, high speed internet and even a built in wash machine.
  Perhaps the best feature of the Lora is its location. Centrally located, it was within walking distance of everything - we didn't need to take a taxi at all.
  Italy Perfect had great instructions and directions to the Lora so the move in was really easy and Daniella (the greeter) was excellent!
  We definitely recommend this place - we had a great time.
  Buon viaggio!!
