Guest Reviews

• Jose Antonio (9/5): - El alojamiento está muy bien. Con muy buena ubicación y Mariella encantadora nos ayudó en todo
• Ricardo (7/5): regular - el baño el ascensor es inseguro , incluso la gente del lugar trata de no usarlo , decir que cuenta con ascensor es un tanto exagerado , las puertas del ascensor no cierran y todo el conjunto luce riesgoso. Muy oscuro , me equivoque de zona . La persona que me lo entrego trato de modificarme la hora de check out. Para llegar al ascensor hay que subir una escalera de varios peldaños
• ana Maria (10/5): Maravillosa estancia - Me encantó todo! El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario y más, es bonito, cuidado al detalle, air.con y ventilador (importante en Roma). La cocina fantástica. El barrio tranquilo y muy de gente local, con una parada de bus en la puerta (bus 64 y 62) para ir al centro. Es un oasis dentro del trajín de Roma. La anfitriona absolutamente de 10, accesible por WhatsApp para cualquier consulta, deseosa de ayudar con estupendas sugerencias y atenta a los detalles que convierten un buen alojamiento en uno excelente. No hay nada que decir. Volveré y lo recomendaré.
• Marco (10/5): Great apartment in a perfect location in Rome with an awesome host. Everything was perfect! I would go back. - Great location, big and clean apartment. Awesome host.
• John (7/5): -
• Pavel (10/5): A great, nice trip to Rome with excellent accommodation - We stayed in these wonderful and very comfortable apartments in July 2025. We were greeted with a welcome drink, and all kitchen appliances were in perfect condition. Fresh bedding and towels were provided in abundance. We spent 5 delightful days here with my daughter — everything was simply perfect. Mariella shared suggestions and sent helpful links to places we could explore. The nearest supermarket was just a 3–4 minute walk away, offering a good selection of products to suit all tastes. Right across the street, there’s a lovely pizzeria serving delicious pizza. And Rome itself—well, it’s breathtaking beyond words. Mariella was always available, answering all our questions and checking in on how we were doing. In short: if you're looking for tranquility, coziness, comfort, and the feeling of being “at home,” I wholeheartedly recommend this place. We will definitely return! Thank you so much, Mariella, for your customer focus and warm hospitality! Best wishes and warm regards from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
• Solmaz (10/5): -
• Charo (9/5): - El apartamento tiene una buena ubicación, a cinco minutos a pie del Vaticano. Tiene parada de autobús de la línea 62 y 64 delante y restaurantes cerca. La anfitriona, muy amable y atenta, nos hizo buenas recomendaciones. El colchón del sofá cama es un poco incómodo si tienen que dormir adultos.
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional - Large apartment within walking distance to the Vatican. Exceptional amenities, and very accomodating hostess. Nothing
• Michael (9/5): Superb - Great location for Vatican and very clean and big.
• Abit (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): A beautiful, comfortable, spacious apartment right by the Vatican, making for an ideal spot to experience Rome - This is a beautiful, spacious apartment right near the Vatican (5 minutes walking). The apartment itself is on a street lined with several restaurants, which is also really nice. Also really importantly, our host Mariella was really responsive and easy to reach. It was truly an ideal place to stay.
• Ming (10/5): Perfect place for Rome/Vatican Exploration - Beautiful and clean apartment with a nice bedroom, cosy living room and even a kitchen. The location is just outside Vatican City and perfect for walking around. Thank you, Mariella home baked apple pie, wine and excellent food recommendations. Nothing
• Sabrina (8/5): Lovely Apartment with Character and Convenience - The apartment was beautiful—vintage charm, spacious, and in an absolutely amazing location. Just a 5–10 minute walk to the Vatican, with plenty of character and convenience. The place was clean, and the welcome touches (a free bottle of wine, water, and some snacks) were really appreciated! It can be a bit noisy at night due to nearby bars and restaurants, so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. Also, a small heads-up: the supermarket across the street is quite pricey, so maybe check out other options nearby. The host was helpful and communicative, though a little on the proactive side—sent a WhatsApp message after the first night and again a week later as a reminder to leave a review. Not a big issue, but something to note.
• Georgios (10/5): Fantastic stay in Rome. Great location. Great host. - The location was fantastic and the host was even better. Amenities had everything we needed. Water temperature and pressure were ideal and the place when we arrived was immaculate. The host treated us like family.
• Chulhwan (10/5): A beautiful apartment - The location is perfect for visitors to the Vatican. For other destinations, you can take bus line 64, which stops right in front of the apartment and takes you to central Rome and Termini Station. Kind and lovely host.
• Diana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valeriia (10/5): It was magnificent! - Very good location and very hospitable host 🤗
• Lina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - I travel a lot and I never had accommodation like this, It was the best without a doubt. Theres is not single bad thing about this apartment, only nice things.
• Clodagh (10/5): Whole clean apartment - so close to Vatican! - The host was a wonderful lady who went out of her way to greet me and welcome me to the apartment. She had water, wine, fruit & other snacks waiting for me. Also a coffee pod machine and pods - but because I’m a tea drinker and not a coffee drinker, she went home to her apartment and brought her home kettle over for me to use for the week. What a considerate lady. The physical location of the apartment is ideal. I walked from Caracalla Thermal Baths home one day - and saw many amazing sites on the way home. Apartment is a 3 minute walk to St Peter’s Square!!! Suffice to say I went there every day. Close to train station (San Pietro) and buses. Taxi rank across the street. Wonderful restaurants nearby. Convenience stores. Whole apartment is yours. Couldn’t give a higher recommendation. Even organised a car for me to airport after stay (good price), leaving me no anxiety in regards to relying on taxis, etc. Thank you, so much Mariella & Co. I had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for your hospitality. Bed was very hard for me, but some people like that.
• Holger (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful apartment, feels like the owner just went on vacation and let your stay for a few days. Located in a very nice district with great restaurants, right next to the Vatican. Owners are very nice and respond immediately. I had to leave.
• Tony (10/5): A great spot to stay near St. Peter's Basilica with delicious food options nearby - Communication was easy and they were very quick to respond. I asked for an early check-in and they allowed that. The couple greeted me with a smile and a bottle of wine and snacks upon arrival. I booked this place because of its proximity to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. It was a 5 minute walk to that area which was very easy. There is a tunnel that went under traffic, so never worried about crossing the street. There were about 5 amazing restaurants right across the street or down the block from the location and all were very delicious. I felt safe at all times. The place was a nice change from the smaller apartments I had booked on my travels. There is a kitchen, restroom, bedroom, and living room. The door is a little tricky to open from the inside, but once you figure it out, you get the hang of it. I tried using the washer to wash my clothes, and when it stopped, the water didn't drain. Maybe it was user error on my part, but there wasn't any notes or instructions on the washer. I ended up using a cup to empty the water out and hang drying my clothes. Not a deal breaker, just a slight inconvenience. I would provide some instructions on how to use that because it isn't very intuitive on how to use it. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd have liked, but I think that is a European thing in general. I'm used to a thicker American mattress, but I was able to fall asleep easily after the long days of walking. I would stay here again.
• Maja (10/5): Beautiful apartment, great location right by St. Peters Square - I would love to come back! - I loved everything about my stay at Elviras Retro Apartment! Arrival: At my arrival, I was greeted by Mariella, who gave me the keys to the apartment and gave me a tour of the apartment, as well as suggestions on what places/monuments to go visit during my stay in Rome. Facilities: The apartment was clean, with towels, and everything I needed. The bed was also super comfy, and the general aesthetics of the bedroom are incredibly romantic and beautiful. Location: The location is great, it takes 3-5 minutes to walk to St. Peters Square, 10 minutes to the metro station Ottaviano. There is a bus right outside the apartment, which goes to the city center, ex. Campo Di Fiori. It is also easy to reach places by foot, it is a 20 minute walk to the Trastevere area (Which of course, can also be reached easily with public transportation) and also a 20 minute walk to the beautiful green area at Villa Pamphili - So overall, the location doesn't get any better! Mariella was so helpful and showed great hospitality - Thank you so much Mariella, I hope to come back one day!
