- Our apartment near the Spanish Steps was fantastic! The agents at Holiday Velvet helped us pick the perfect apartment in a great lively location. Above dozens of restaurants and bars our apartment was in the heart of Rome’s Fashion district. One of our favourite parts of the day was coming home. We felt like such locals. The apartment was very clean and we had everything we needed. I will certainly be recommending Hotel Velvet to both friends and family.

- Having never booked accommodation or transport over the internet before, I was relieved that everything worked out just fine. The shuttle van driver met us as arranged at Fiumicino Airport and whisked us to Carrozze at great speed, often weaving through narrow one-way streets crowded with pre-Christmas shoppers. Rosie was there to greet us, show us around and collect the remainder of the rental. She was also very helpful in explaining the whereabouts of the supermarket, underground railway station and local sights. Apart from the crazy drivers who did not always respect the traffic lights, we felt safe and the map provided helped us to get around the city easily. All in all, our visit to Rome was full of happy memories. From Rome we travelled by train to Florence, Venice, Lucerne and Paris then flew to England for a week before returining home to NZ on New Year's Day. I would recommend the Carrozze apartment to other families for the following reasons: value for money, clean, comfortable, quiet location, handy to underground station, supermarket, restaurants, map provided. (Just a couple of suggestions: A spare key would have been helpful for a family group so we could split up and do different things. Some tea and coffee sachets would have been nice on arrival.) Thankyou for all your help in getting our holiday off to a great start. Rome was amazing and well worth another visit in the future.

- We recently travelled to Europe with our family of four adult children and Rome was our first stopover. After travelling for 36 hours, we were greeted at Fiumicino Airport by our pre-booked driver and whisked to Carrozze Apartment near the Spanish Steps. Rosie gave us a warm, friendly welcome (in English) and was most helpful with her suggestions on where to shop and how to get around the city. We particularly appreciated the quiet location of the apartment to catch up on our sleep after 36 hours of non-stop travelling. It was fun trying out our Italian and shopping for all our culinary needs at the supermarket around the corner and the subway was only 5 minutes' walk from Carrozze. Although the shops in the vicinity were a little out of our price range (all the famous clothing labels), we enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere. It was disappointing that the Spanish Steps and other famous monuments were under repair and covered in scaffolding. Still, the sights we saw were amazing! The best features of Carrozze Apartment were its location, its clean and comfortable facilities and the price per night for our family of six (good value for money). I would definitely recommend pre-booking transport from the airport after long-haul flights.

- The apartment is probably the best located apartment for a tourist in Rome. When you walk out the front door you take three giant steps and are in a lovely outdoor cafe. Easily walkable to the all of the sites. In 5 days we took one taxi - everything else was by foot. The apartment is spacious and very clean. Furnishings are adequate. Beware of the stairs - it's two good size flights up and no lift. But it helped keep the vacation pounds at bay! I would happily stay here again. The price to quality ratio is very good.
