Guest Reviews
- Xavier (9/5): Apartamento muy completo cerca del Vaticano. - Apartamento completísimo, no le falta detalle. Muy bien abastecido. Por poner alguna pega, no pudimos dejar el equipaje más allá de la hora de salida. Pero la anfitriona nos informó de locales dedicados a este servicio.
- Anette (9/5): - Die Betreuung durch Ornella war exzellent. 👍 Das Appartement ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Wände sehr hellhörig
- Weronika (10/5): -
- Matúš (9/5): - Veľmi dobré ubytovanie, v úžasnej lokalite, dobrý pomer cena/kvalita/poloha Rád si varím a trochu mi chýbalo lepšie vybavenie kuchyne na plnohodnotné varenie.
- Anna (10/5): - Bliskość do Placu św. Piotra 😊
- Amarachukwu (10/5): Amazing - It was neat and the location was superb. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and will likely visit again
- David (5/5): A functional stay and a tourist trap - we won't come back! - The apartment is perfectly located for a short stay near the Vatican, in a quiet street but with lots of good restaurants and cafes nearby. Easy to find and the manager Ornella was there to meet us - she is very organised and communications were good and very clear. We are a mature couple and very seasoned travellers with a lot of experience of short lets at this price point, and we were disappointed with the condition and level of amenities at the property. It's not that we expect perfection, but there seemed to be a general lack of care for detail and cleanliness. There is no local information provided.
A major issue was with hot water which only arrived at the shower after a wait of five minutes of more, and then only a small flow, and one time no hot water at all in the kitchen sink. No plug in the bathroom sink, and the AC unit we could not get to work (luckily the weather was mild in May). The shower hand-set we could not use, as the switch did not work, and had to use only the overhead shower.
Furniture (including the bed) was basic and cheap, and kitchen utensils a fairly random collection of old things - enough to function, but not nice enough to make you want to cook with!
Plates etc. were washed, but not clean when we arrived and everything had to be washed again before we felt OK to use them - despite there being a 90 euro cleaning charge made (and a repeat charge of 90 euros every 6 days of stay) - and immediately outside the kitchen window on a ledge a heap of bags full of old towels, and some loose towels, liberally covered in pigeon droppings.
The manager strongly suggests in the checking out details that most guests give a 9.5 or 10 rating, and I notice that the one reviewer who gave the property a 6.0 received a very defensive response from the manager, to which I refer you.
- Francis (9/5): Very good. - Great location. Everything as advertised.
- Conor (6/5): Great location. Disappointing otherwise. - Great location.
Apartment kitchen is well equipped and most of the apartment was clean. Make sure you read the extra information before you book- We had to pay 50euro in cash to check in at 9.15pm. The agency also follows up with large texts of information and requirements for checking in/ check out which we found to be too much.
We had issues with the shower being broken and also the toilet was very (very!) dirty with brown limescale when we checked in. The agency sent a cleaner but it took 2 days and we were asked if it was there when we checked in (I.e. did we do it!!) When it was clearly there for ages!
The bed is small (135cm) and is very soft ... you can feel the springs in your back and any time you move the bed makes noises which we struggled with a lot - for us the bed is really not acceptable since a comfortable bed is all you need for a city break!
- Peter (10/5): An excellent place to stay - Lovely well-appointed flat in central Rome, very close to Vatican. Quiet, lots of local facilities.
Ornella was very helpful and always on hand if needed. No complaints - all very good!
- Callum (10/5): Exceptional -
