Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing View from Private Roof Terrace This apartment had everything we needed for 2 of us. Numerous restaurants and gelato shops were just outside the door of the building. The best feature was the roof terrace, however. It was delightful to enjoy coffee or a glass of wine outside overlooking St. Peter’s Cathedral. Having a secluded place to relax in Rome made this a great choice. I contend that the apartment would benefit from some updating, a deep clean and better linens but overall, we enjoyed our stay here. ##### Lisa P.

May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Great location but let down by tired rooftop area and poor communications The apartment was in a great location and was generally very tidy but kitchen utensils and kettle where all very basic and old. For example you couldn't even open the kettle lid as it was old and broken. Wardrobes were also in poor condition. Rooftop area was also very old and untidy with pots of paint and ladders left lying around. These items may sound picky in a review but when you're spending more than 300 per night you expect quite a lot more than we found. It could be great with a lot more TLC. ##### Giles B.

The terrace was also lovely with great views of St Peters and surrounding area. Unfortunately the apartment itself was not great. Small and a bit grubby. Needs painted. Sofa had stain marks and apartment smelt of cat urine. ##### Fiona Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyria B. May 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous terrace and cozy apartment! This was a great place to stay for our young family of 4. The pictures do not do it justice - particularly on the roof deck. Everything was fabulous and as promised. Though snug, the apartment more than met our needs. Great neighborhood. Quiet at night. We hope we are lucky enough to return!! ##### Lyria B. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa E. Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Rome/ Vatican trip Great location; very nice space; had problems with the door and the persons who stated would be available if we had any questions were not responsive and did not call us with simple instructions to open the door (we waited over 90 minutes in the morning). We finally got assistance from Vrbo (very helpful), but it was a rough start to our vacation. Minus those 90 minutes, it was a great 5 day stay. ##### Theresa E.

Apr 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location, so-so accommodations For nearby coffee, pasta, gelato, and sightseeing, you can't beat this location. It's steps away from everything. The apartment itself, however, is quite dated and a bit worn down (mold in the shower, leaky kitchen ceiling and living room puddles during a big rain, washer doesn't drain well) in addition to some oversights like too few towels in the apt (not even 1 per person), no working remotes, dishwasher full of dirty dishes when we arrived, no toilet paper, and a disgusting water kettle -- i think someone had boiled milk in it and it just hadn't been cleaned properly. There was nothing that was a complete deal breaker, but add it all up and it was an inconvenient stay, to say the least. That said, the host himself was WONDERFUL to work with and a complete gentleman. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerika M. Nov 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location in a beautiful neighborhood First off, I’d like to say thank you so so much. This stay was crucial in how we spent our time while we weren’t sightseeing. The place itself is located in Prati, a very cute neighborhood by Vatican City. This stay looks exactly as pictured. It’s in an old building, so it’ll come with old building quirks, but nothing so inconvenient that it’ll ruin your time!! Plus, there’s an elevator, so we didn’t have to go up the stairs too many times. I loved the terrace and spent so much time up there just soaking in the view of St. Peter’s Basilica and Castel Sant’Angelo. You can hear the bustle of the city below you as you enjoy a little light reading, a morning cappuccino, and a smoke. Plus, they provide almost everything you need there: dishes, cooking supplies, sponges, detergent for the washer, a drying rack, a blow dryer, an iron and board, a yoga mat, some books, soap, plenty of towels, extra sheets, and WiFi!! Communication with our host was great. We didn’t have any emergencies, but when we did need something, our host was able to get it done in a timely manner. Everyone I interacted with from this stay was professional and friendly. If you’re looking for a great place with a beautiful view, look no further. I’d come back here again!! ##### Gerika M.

Schlecht, Sauberkeit + Küchenausstattung. Die Lage der Wohnung mit der Aussicht auf den Petersdom war fantastisch. Allerdings lies die Sauberkeit des Bades zu wünschen übrig. Der Fußboden (Laminat) vor dem Bad war dermaßen verfault/aufgegwollen, dass zum Teil es nicht möglich war die Tür zu schließen. Zudem war in und vor der Dusche stärkerer Schimmel vorhanden. Auch zwischen der Waschmaschine und Wand hat der Boden noch nie oder Selten Wasser gesehen. Auch die Toilettenbürste war sehr schmuddelig und sollte mal ausgetauscht werden. In der Küche waren gerade mal 3 Frühstücksteller und Essteller vorhanden. Auch ansonsten war die Küche minimalistisch ausgestattet (kein Küchentuch zum abtrocknen des Geschirrs). Gläser waren auch Mangelware (1 Weinglas...). Zusammengefasst ist zu sagen, dass wir für diesen Preis doch mehr erwartet hätten. ##### Torsten B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Elsie U. Apr 5, 2022 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Unpleasant experience The property was not as nice as it looked in pictures online. There was no television, no hot water and some sheets did not look cleaned. The hallway smelled and the property manager went silent on me when we checked out and asked for at least a days refund. We moved to a hotel down the street because we needed showers. ##### Elsie U. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neryl M. Jan 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old charm A great locating and well suited for a holiday for those who can live with somewhat dated amenities like kitchen and bathroom. A delightful roof garden offers views of St Peter's cathetral and the rest of the neighbourhood. ##### Neryl M. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### John G. Nov 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location Location is perfect only 2 minutes from the Vatican with great views from the large roof terrace of the basilica. The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us for our 3 day visit with the right amount of space in all rooms. Our only slight problem was no hot water on the first morning but this was sorted out quickly with a few messages to the very helpful Olivia, but it did mean no shower that morning. All correspondence was carried out very quickly including the booking of a taxi to and from the airport. The area around the apartment is very nice and quiet with a good selection of restaurants and bars at reasonable prices. Would definitely stay again ##### John G.

Our unforgettable vacation started at the airport with the car service. Brought us right to the cozy neighborhood. Christoph met us at the front door, helped us with our bags and showed us the apt and our private roof top patio. The restaurants in the neighborhood where great, we liked the one right downstairs best. We set up guided tours to Street Food, Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon through trip adviser and where not disappointed. We walked everywhere. People are just so nice. My Italian is weak. But not a problem everyone speaks English. We cant wait to go back. We used the washer, cloth line on the roof. Car service picked us up and we where sad to go.

We loved it there, and the accommodations were just as advertised. Very quiet and clean. ##### steve R.

Aug 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful apartment Overall, the apartment is really great! Great location, and the roof deck is awesome. Unfortunately the internet did not work at all through our stay. And it took some time to get addressed and still did not work. Also, there are 2 AC units in the apartment which were an absolute necessity for the summer months. Unfortunately one was barely working and the other one was making loud noises. It would have been super helpful to have some working fans in the property. But I spent every evening sweating on the living room floor just to try to stay cool. Unfortunate, but this place would be perfect for the cooler months. ##### Zachary A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymon Y.

To bad it was unseasonably hot so it was impossible to enjoy the deck during the day but we were able to have a drink up there a couple of nights and the view was terrific. Apartment has everything one needs for a great stay. ##### Raymon Y. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn D.

It was very hot while we were in Rome so the place was a bit warm, it has ac but like most of Rome it takes a little heat out of the air but no where near the ac that we are accustomed to in the US. You can walk everywhere from the place and it has restaurants right out the front door. ##### Shawn D.

Everything is as advertised. Claudia our host was friendly, attentive. There are many restaurants in the same street and the cafe/restaurant right across at the corner have the best baked goods and coffee not to mention the gelato shop downstairs. A few mini markets nearby for many basics. We did a lot of walking but did use taxi a few times to Villa Borghese. Do yourself a favor download “my taxi” app before you go(is like uber in the States) We didn’t use the rooftop terrace as much as we would like due to the summer heat in Jun in the afternoons. The night view was very nice and nighttime temps were so much nicer to hangout there. We are family of 3 so this small apartment worked perfect for us. We would stay there again if we return to Rome. ##### Shan G. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria H.

The apartment worked beautifully for us and the rooftop terrace was someplace spectacular. The location and proximity to everything was a huge bonus. Claudia, our contact person was stellar and we could not have had a more fantastic time. This apartment works beautifully for three adults and we recommend it highly to everyone ! ##### Victoria H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian H.

Centrally located; can go in all directions to visit all of Rome. Very close to the Vatican. The veranda seals the deal. Sat on top and had home cooked dinner with great wine. Coffee on the veranda every morning. Leasing company even coordinated a car to pick us up at the airport. Will stay here again. ##### Brian H.

Massimo communicated with us frequently prior to our visit and arranged for a driver to pick us up. Sure we could have gotten a taxi but after a nine hour flight the last thing I wanted to do is stand in queue. Totally worth it! Claudia met us at the apartment and provided us with all the needed info plus great recommendations for restaurants. But let me be honest..... it was all about that terrace!!! The view was just breathtaking!! It was just so special to enjoy the evening relaxing up there with St Peter’s Dome all lit up. There are lots of great restaurants on Borgo Pio and at night there was music!! Just added to the experience! The apartment was very comfortable/cozy and just perfect for my husband and I. Thanks Massimo and Claudio for starting out Italian Adventures off in a great way! We definitely will be back!! Ciao! ##### Diana B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2019
