Great place near the Vatican

Excellent communication with Paola and Romula. Nice view of the dome of St. Peter’s from the balcony. Everything was clean and worked well. Our only observation is that the showers are a bit small (we are not big people) but they get the job done. Strongly recommend as a place to stay when visiting Rome. Good value for the money.

Stay overlooking Saint Peter’s!

It was a wonderful experience overall. The property was immaculate and very central. Lovely neighborhood with the most amazing friendly generous local people. We had an amazing time and would go back again. Paula was so attentive and immediately addressed a concern we had with lighting! Would recommend this property to friends and family in the future!

Great apartment and location

What an amazingly clean and centrally located apartment. Our family of 4 had plenty of room to spread out and relax although we surely spent a lot of time exploring. Everything is within walking distance and good restaurants are close by!! Very safe area. Loved this place and the pictures shown are exactly as the place shows!! Highly recommend. Response time with questions we asked was fast and the owner is very nice!! You will not regret booking this little beauty!

Absolutely Wonderful

Paola & her assistant were absolutely amazing! They communicated with me regularly throughout our stay. The Apt is conveniently located in a very pleasant neighborhood, very near a train station, great restaurants & within walking distance of all major landmarks in Rome. We had such an amazing time! I do have one minor comment to make; the showers in both Master Suites are VERY small. We are all medium size ppl, so if you’re a larger person, you may want to check with the owner on the measurements of the showers before booking. Overall a GREAT place to stay. Thanks Paolo & Romula, you both were very pleasant and kind hosts!

Perfekte Wohnung

Wir (2 Paare) haben alles genauso vorgefunden, wie beschrieben und die Fotos es darstellen! Wir können uns den ganzen Vormietern vollkommen anschließen. Eine sehr zuvorkommende und hilfsbereite Vermieterin (Paola), ebenso wie unsere direkte Ansprechpartnerin (Romula), die im Vorfeld und auch während unseres Aufenthaltes jederzeit verfügbar war, extrem schnell reagierte und sehr freundlich war. Die Lage der Wohnung ist durch ihre Nähe zum Zentrum und zum Petersdom optimal. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und sagen nochmals herzlichen Dank.

Convenient, great location, bad shower

Pros: Great location with many nearby eateries. Owner easy to reach via WhatsApp. Very clean and comfortable. Cons: Beware if you are not a small person: both showers are VERY small and hard to fit into if you are not small. Also, the apartment does NOT have a "common area" where occupants can sit together. It's 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen, PERIOD.

Great apartment!

We stayed at this apartment for our last two nights in Rome. Paola met us upon check in and showed us all the details of the apartment. It is immaculately maintained and well stocked. The balcony is an amazing feature and we spent lots of time on it enjoying a glass (or two) of wine and taking in all the sites and sounds. We loved that the area was quieter and away from more of the touristy sites. It is a neighborhood frequented by some very friendly locals. The staff at the bar downstairs were all very friendly and helpful and I definitely had more opportunities to practice my Italian as compared to other areas in the city. There is a supermarket located just a few doors down which is very convenient. Paola gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We ate at “Goose” the last night which is a short walk away and it was delicious. The best gelato we had in Rome was at a small gelateria across the street diagonally located from the apartment-my 5 year old adamantly agreed that it was top notch! We would definitely stay at this apartment again and thank Paola and Romula for a great last few days in Rome!

Great apartment near Vatican

The apartment was spacious and well equipped for my family of four stay of 3 nights. It is located walkable distance from Vatican and about 10min away to other central Rome destinations via taxi. Access to supper market, cafes snd restaurants as soon as you get down was definitely helpful. Communication with Romula and Paula couldn’t be better, they were always just a message away. Thanks you both for the inputs and your check ins with us. Few things that might need attention is the dishwasher and air conditioning. We couldn’t get the dishwasher working at all, air conditioning works but doesn’t seem to go anything cooler nnthan 25 degrees. However, these were just minor things, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Would recommend if looking for something close to Vatican.

The Perfect Roma Home

Our family had a lovely stay in Rome of 5 days at this beautiful and comfortable apartment. Everything was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable and the pillows were perfect (Al dente comes to mind). With the seasonal warm weather we greatly appreciated the air conditioned bedrooms. The balcony was a great place for morning coffee and evening dinners supplied by the excellently stocked grocery store at street level. Paola was so helpful with the check in process. We will definitely return!
