Had to contact host to get check in details was not provided before, also the reservation was for 6 adults but only had it ready for 3, one AC unit was not working the host did not respond. Overall was a cute place and not too far to walk to Vatican. Enjoyed our stay but better communication and proper details of knowing who and how many are checking in would be greater for future guests.
Convenient and accessible to Vatican city and local transportation
The best part was the convenience to local transportation (Metro) to get to every tourist spot we wanted to go see. Plus, walkable distance to the Vatican City and River Tiber. Close by stores made it easy for quick grab and go necessities and late evening dinners. Our family enjoyed the stay.
Good location, responsive owner. Accommodated our request for late check out.

A nice place
A very nice place, in an excellent location with good restaurants, coffee shops and all kind of stores nearby. The owners a very sweet couple always available to help and assist in all your needs. We will return.
Location was just perfect! A famous market to get fresh produce, supermarket nearby, metro stop around the corner, apartment well stocked, to name a few pluses. A Vatican City just a few blocks away!
Alessandro was wonderful, above and beyond 5 star hospitality. He even arranged a transport to the airport.
I will definitely return and recommend this apartment for longer stay.

Excellent location.
Close to Vatican, subway, stores & restaurants. Nicely remodeled & updated. Alessandro & Giorgio were very responsive to all questions & needs. Cons: we had difficulty operating the washer/dryer & cooktop (had difficulty understanding the directions). Would definitely stay again.
Apartment was perfect for us . First floor , easily accessible . The A/C worked great !It was extremely hot the week we were there . Beds were comfortable , bathrooms clean . Washing machine broke during our stay , so that was difficult . We had to reuse the towels without ability to wash them .Would have been nice if they provided more towels due to the situation . Property could use a little updating . Walls and fixtures a little beaten up . However. overall stay way good !
The city of course is old so we weren’t expecting new or even super modern. The sewage system isn’t in the owners control but the bathrooms had a bad sewage smell. We could tell the owner attempted to update the house but it needs a paint job, fixtures were hanging and semi broken, holes in the wall were patched or barely patched. It’s a bit noisy because it’s a high traffic area but the location being blocks from the Vatican made up for any sound issues. Very nice cofes located a few doors down. Grocery store was a 2 min walk we could not ask to find a better location centrally located. I want to make sure you all aren’t reading this negatively but just to make sure the photos aren’t 100 percent accurate. Would I say here again? Yes! The location made up for any visual details. The owner was attentive, nice, and communicative.

Great place to stay in Rome
If the system would let me, I’d probably rate this property at 4.5 stars rather than 5. Apartment was exactly as pictured—clean, up-to-date, comfortable, and having all of the desired amenities. It was an easy walk to the Vatican and convenient to places to eat as well as a small grocery store. Had a washer and dryer, but the dryer didn’t really dry clothes so we ended up hanging wet clothes everywhere to get them to dry. And if you tried to use too much electricity at once (e.g., the washer and a hairdryer) the electricity would go out and someone would have to fumble around in the dark to throw the circuit breaker. We found the property to be quiet although the couple with us who were sleeping in the bedroom closest to the door complained of noise throughout the night as people came into the building and slammed the doors. Despite these few complaints, we’d stay there again and would recommend the property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Rome.
The place is quaint and cute. Looks like the pics. Close to the Vatican and in a super cute neighborhood. Rooms far enough apart that each of us couples had plenty of privacy. The common area was very comfortable to hang out and chat. Air conditioning was great and blackout blinds excellent. We would stay here again.
The host allowed us to check in earlier. Communication was seamless. Clean and convenient location! Walking distance to The Vatican City & restaurants. Turn the white noise on when you sleep - apartment is on the Main Street which is noisy. The noise didn’t bother us then. Thank you, Alessandro
Poor communication regarding access to property prior to arriving, multiple attempts to get transportation to FCO 6+ days in advance and there was no follow thru as discussed which left us scrambling to get to the airport.

So very close to being a gem but there were differences snd challenges.Beds are comfortable. Showers are roomy with 2 different shower heads. Kitchen has everything you could want. Great dining options within walking distance. But: Did not receive entry instruction until I reached out, this was inside of 24 hours of arrival. Parking, it is ROME, was crazy but this was expected, again it is ROME. Washer and dryer did not have instructions and was a huge challenge, maybe even is broken since it beeps non-stop during the wash cyccle. Cooktop fan and light did not sork at all. TV in bedroom is missing. Looked clean until i needed to wipe.up something from the kitchen floor and the towel was filthy.
This was a complete disaster!
-The air conditioning didn’t work in the front bedroom and my children had to sleep on the couch.
-no instructions for the laundry machine or detergent.
-neighborhood is filled with graffiti.
-the apartment looks like it’s still under construction.
-the host, didn’t respond to the air conditioner issue for 3 days, and then tells me that he snuck into the apartment when we were out. The only problem, is that he told us he only had one set of keys, which were the ones we had in our possession.
-DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
The property is located very close to the metro and Vatican City. The owner was very responsive to inquiries and the check in and check out process was easy. The apartment was comfortable and secure. We enjoyed our time here.

Great place with some drawbacks
This apartment was great for what we needed, but it did have some drawbacks. It is a bit removed from the heart of everything, however, it is super close to the metro. We found that to be very convenient and helpful. It's also a ground floor apartment on a BUSY street corner. It was very noisy all night long and the shades need to be closed, making it dark. Communication with the host was not super great, but I think that was more of a VRBO issue than the host not being responsive. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable and spotless, with everything we needed, so all in all, we were happy with our choice.
We stayed in this amazing apartment during part of our stay in Rome. It’s within walking distance to the Vatican and is near the metro station and supermarket. I highly recommend this apartment to anybody.

Convenient to Vatican City
The unit was very clean and had been remodeled recently. It is ok for a very short term stay. The apartment is below street level so there is basically no natural light. Living area is small. There is a a washer/dryer combo which was very nice. There is a dorm size refrigerator and stove top burners. There is a little of everything plates,cups,utensils. The bed was comfortable. Above the unit there must be small children so expect noise in the night. The air conditioner in one of the bedrooms did not work. We contacted the rental company but it was never taken care of while we were there so the nights were miserable for the people in that room. Expect to have to send messages over and over to the rental agency before they answer you if you have a question or problem. The apartment is walking distance to Vatican City,stores,restaurants and the taxi stand.
Excellent accommodations with the loviest restaurant right next door. We ate there every night. My only complaint is this apartment is not within walking distance of the Vatican! No way. We used taxi/Uber.
