Guest Reviews
- Paulava (10/5): A perfect stay in Rome :) - Literally everything about our stay here was perfect, apartment is super clean and comfy. It’s just alright for two people, spacious enough really. We had all we needed in here. There is an elevator in the building, so you won’t have trouble with carrying heavy luggage. The location is right near Vatican, you can see Saint Peter’s Basilica through your window, the street is very lively and has plenty of shops/cafes/restaurants, yet it’s quieter than the center. And the apartment’s owner is super nice. Highly recommend!!! Nothing, no flaws
- Brian (10/5): Rest - First of all was very clean and nothing was damaged.
View from the window is lovely.
Around the location is a lot of shops, restaurants and also InPost point were you can ship your parcel. Was very quiet during the day and by night. Just everything was good! .
- Paulina F (8/5): Tolles Appartement- komme gerne wieder - Alles bestens- sehr unkompliziert und nette Besitzer. Das Zimmer hatte eine tolle Lage,nicht mitten im Gewühl,aber zentral genug- abgesehen davon,dass Rom tolle Anbindungen hat. Gar nichts
- Victoria (9/5): - Really good place and location There was a problem in the toilet. The shower was inundating a bit the bathroom, but it was fixed while I was there.
- Pawel (10/5): -
- Amber (9/5): -
- Israel (8/5): Buen lugar, tranquilo y céntrico - Ubicación céntrica y excelente relación calidad-precio. Barrio con excelentes servicios y bien comunicado Se trata de dos apartamentos contiguos con servicios diferentes. En las fotos del anuncio aparecían mezcladas las fotos de ambos y puede dar lugar a confusiones. Pero aparte de eso, un buen alojamiento.
- rosu.ionut1997 (9/5): -
- Sara (8/5): - Posizione, arredamento. Mancanza della macchinetta del caffè e prodotti da bagno come menzionati sul sito.
- gianmarco (1/5): Infiltrazioni e muffa - Buona posizione e bel palazzo. Erano presenti infiltrazioni e muffa sia in cucina che in bagno. Riscaldamento non perfettamente funzionante. Alla finestra di fronte al bagno non erano presenti oscuranti, lasciando intravedere tutto al palazzo di fronte.
- Clazien (9/5): -
- Daniel (7/5): Mejorable - Espacioso y bien ubicado.
La sala está muy cómoda y bonita.
En 5o piso. La estructura es un poco vieja y los armarios de las habitaciones un poco deteriorados.
La limpieza no es excelente.
Se rompió la base de una cama y el anfitrión no se movió a solucionar.
Aire acondicionado sólo en la sala. A tener en cuenta durante el verano.
- Peter (10/5): - Skvela poloha,skvelý hostiteľ,všetko zodpovedalo popisu na Booking.
- Dee (9/5): -
- Daria (10/5): Замечательные апартаменты . - Понравилось всё: локация, принимающая сторона, квартира просто замечательная.
Очень любезная хозяйка, которая всегда была связи и открыла мне дверь поздно ночью, так как мой самолет сильно задержался. Пять минуточек ходьбы и вы у собора Святого Петра, да и в принципе в пешей доступности довольно много достопримечательностей. Удобное заселение, четкая инструкция . Я бы вернулась еще с удовольствием. Не было такого.
- Patricio (10/5): - Ubicacion y comodidad excelente La ducha era con termo y rebalsaba un poco el agua
- Péter (8/5): - I think location is great and very good transport facilities Nothing specific I did not like.
- Nawfal (1/5): Disappointing Stay - Location close to Vatican Unfortunately, my experience with this apartment was disappointing. Upon check-in, the apartment was not ready and was quite dirty. Although staff eventually came to clean it, they threw away food I had already placed in the fridge and no compensation was offered for this.
The kitchen was also very basic, with cookware and utensils in poor condition and visibly dirty. There weren't even basic essentials like oil or pepper, which made cooking quite inconvenient.
To top it off, the bed was not comfortable at all, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep.
- Melanie (9/5): - Good location for accessing public transport
- Laura (8/5): Roma con encanto - Apartamento con mucho encanto, bien ubicado y comunicado y limpio. La atención de los anfitriones excelente. El colchón de la camada era cómodo pero mejoraría la estructura de la cama, estaba ya un poco débil y hacia ruido al moverse. A parte de esto todo correcto
- Lan (10/5): -

- Khir (4/5): Gute Lage, aber Wohnung unsauber, Möbel alt und kaputt, nur ein Raum klimatisiert, sogar Insekten im Sofa. Leider nicht - Die Lage Unser Aufenthalt war leider sehr enttäuschend. Die Wohnung war bei unserer Ankunft nicht sauber, sodass wir viel Zeit damit verbringen mussten, alles gründlich zu reinigen. Besonders die Möbel waren alt und ungepflegt.
Ein weiteres großes Problem war die Klimatisierung: Nur das Wohnzimmer hatte eine Klimaanlage, alle anderen Räume waren extrem heiß und praktisch nicht nutzbar, sodass wir die Wohnung im Grunde nur wie ein einziges Zimmer nutzen konnten.
Zusätzlich waren die Matratzen voller Flecken und auch die Kissen im Wohnzimmer in einem sehr unhygienischen Zustand.
Ein Sofa im Wohnzimmer war stark von Insekten befallen, wodurch mein Sohn allergische Reaktionen bekam und medizinisch versorgt werden musste. Das andere Sofa war völlig kaputt – sobald man sich darauf setzte, ist es in sich zusammengefallen.
Das einzig Positive war die Lage: Die Wohnung befindet sich in der Nähe fast aller Sehenswürdigkeiten, des Zentrums sowie mehrerer Supermärkte.
Insgesamt entsprach die Unterkunft jedoch weder der Beschreibung noch unseren Erwartungen. Wir können sie daher leider nicht weiterempfehlen.
- Anda-Lucia (9/5): - Nice little apartment, exactly like the pictures are showing. Very good communication with the host, quick to help with everything. If the reading lamp had worked and there had been any type of coffee maker, I would have said I had a stay to my liking. Maybe next time!
- Carsten Schneider (8/5): schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage, ideal für 3 Tage Rom. - Lage sehr gut, 10 min zum Vatikan. Parkmöglichkeit.
- de Castro de la Fuente (10/5): - La facilidad para contactar con el anfitrión y la ubicación del estudio. Todo bien.
- Maddox (8/5): - Love the location, the size of the room was perfect, and the hosts were so helpful in ensuring a smooth check in and check out process. Air conditioning was warm, not the temperature indicated on the remote. The A/C was set to 17 but the room was at least 27. Sometimes the toilet would not completely flush, even though I held down the flush button.
- Martin (10/5): Für meine Bedürfnisse war die Unterkunft perfekt, und ich buche sie jederzeit sehr gerne wieder.£ - Das Frühstück war im Preis nicht inbegriffen, doch das wusste ich, und die Lage war für meine Bedürfnisse optimal.
Es handelt sich um ein in Rom für eine Person sehr großes Apartment mit kompletter Ausstattung, die für mich keine Wünsche offen ließ.
Sehr gerne würde ich bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt in Rom wieder hier übernachten! Im Vorfeld war mir aus technischen Gründen nicht ganz klar, ob die Reservierung geklappt hatte.
Die Geschirrtücher habe ich erst am letzten Tag entdeckt, doch das lag allein an mir.
Für Warmwasser musste im Vorfeld ein Schalter umgelegt werden, was mir zunächst nicht klar war, sich dann auch den Beschriftungen der Schalter aber erschloss.
- Anabelle (8/5): Metro to far -
- Giovanni (10/5): Exceptional - This was my 3 -4 times in Rome and I stayed in different locations. This was perfect for our needs.
Its only 10 minutes from San Pietro Square and 5 to San Pietro train station for easy connection to FCO Airport
Historical Centre can be reached by Metro (nearest station about 15 - 20 minutes walk) super easy and cheap.
We will definitely go back nothing
- Inga (9/5): Nice for city trips - and great with washing maschine - Nice area. Appartment is like in the pictures and even has a washing maschine (I left some tabs for you :)). Very well lit with this big window so it has sun all day. Clean and nice. With friendly hosts.
- Janice (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect for my requirements. The apartment was spacious and close to a supermarket, restaurants and bakeries. I particularly liked how close it was to the Vatican.
- Γαβριελα (9/5): Superb - So I traveled alone (female ) for Uni and I book the accommodation wich was amazing . It was very clean, the apartment is on the 5th floor and the view is amazing , for me at least . I could concentrate so easily, the room also had a table for you to work or eat. Bed was comfy It was a bit cold at times but nothing too bad, and also the bathroom has a weird smell. Over all a great experience
- Théo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maxim (9/5): Very good place to stay. - It was a wonderful and clean place. Check in was easy to navigate.
Logistics: 2 minutes from shop, or bus stop. 7 minutes by bus and you are in historic center. Just small hint. If you sélect this apartment because of the Pietro Duomo photo, then you will see it from the toilet window only =))
- Wagner (5/5): Passable -
- Tim (9/5): Perfect as a base when exploring rome. - The property is clean and spacious. The communication with the owner was very good and quick. Only a short walk away from the vatican, and shops and restaurants were close by. All good
- Yan (8/5): Nice stay near Vatican - The studio consists of a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, one can have his/her own space. Supermarket and bus stop nearby, so it’s convenient. The host is super friendly and responsive. I personally prefer a firm mattress, and hangers in the washroom could be very useful.
- Kenneth (9/5): 30 day stay. Great location nice restaurants nearby easy walking distance to the Vatican and transportation. Plus very q - Great location. Shower water was always hot Nothing much
- Jason (8/5): Good family base to explore the highlights of Rome and the Vatican. - Spacious, quiet for a place so central.
Great cafe over the street for breakfast. A/C couldn't deal with Rome's July heat - with it running full blast, it was still warmer inside than out in the evening.
- Mitchell (10/5): Exceptional - Host was VERY communicative throughout the whole process - messaged me a few days before my arrival with all the details for the keys and how to get in, and when I arrived, VERY quick to respond! Helpful and polite all the way :)
- Julie (10/5): Beautiful apartment with 2 balconies - Beautiful apartment, as in photos
Comfortable beds
Supermarket very close
Excellent restaurant about 2 doors down - in one week we ate there 4 times - Vecchia Osteria del Gelsomino
Hosts very nice.
Two balconies!
Easy for cabs to pick you up bc it’s a side street off a main road.
Good shower. If you want to avoid the flooding that some of the other reviews mentioned:
- put a rolled up white bathmat and the black mat in front of the shower entrance
- use only the far/handheld shower device and not the one that’s above
- if it’s not draining, clear out the drain — pick up the silver drain cover on the floor; the drain net is right there Minor -
Dish soap available but be prepared to buy laundry detergent.
Supermarket is very close so not an issue.
- Yates (6/5): Location was great but apartment should be able to deal with hot weather as well as cold and normal temperatures. At the - Good location, a short walk to the Vatican or even quicker by scooter or bike. Buses are easy to get too and from center. Good space in the property
Good communication pre arrival with WhatsApp messages and all info. I did appreciate the owner responding to problems about shower and air con and issues with the tassa di soggiorno One understands cities in Italy are hot in the summer. I live under Italy too and rent out houses also ! - an apartment should be able to deal with the needs of both hot and cold and all seasons. This did not. Way too hot - was like arriving back to a greenhouse , maybe being the top floor with the roof above, which maybe is not insulated properly it could have had a glass roof with the heat inside, even with windows and doors open to get a draft didn’t change and temperature remained over 30 degrees inside at night. One fan … not enough . I’m sure at the price you can invest in a fan for each room and another in the lounge. The main air con unit in the lounge did nothing at all … could not be adjusted and temperature lowered and so just puffed out air but not cold. Shower only worked from the hand held unit and main head was broken and had basically a hole in and did not work ..
bedroom 1 - double not divisible
Bedroom 2 - double not divisible
Lounge - single bed
- Lydia (9/5): Superb - It was in a great location, near to the Vatican. The bed was super comfy and the wifi worked great. The only downside of the whole place was the shower. We tried many different ways to not have it leak but no matter what we did, water just went everywhere.
- Moses (8/5): Overall good location for trip to italy - Good location for Vatican and Trastevere
- Can (8/5): Very good -
- Amberley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zuzana (9/5): Perfect stay for 1or 2 person, I can highly recommend this apartment.. Good location. - Nice, friendly communication, everything was clear, I've got the video how to open the box.
Was easy and I felt myself highly comfort and safe.
- Agnieszka (10/5): Great place - Really nice place with privacy and a great location. You have the apartment to yourself. It is very clean and feels like home. The owners are really friendly and honest people I really enjoyed !
- Omar (7/5): Good place for the price. - Location. Shower was to small.
- Monika (9/5): Superb -
- Jackie (9/5): Superb - Lovely relaxing apartment, we stopped here for 3 nights in the middle of our 2 week Italian trip. Handy for sightseeing as close to main bus routes and walking distance to The Vatican City. Made use of the washing machine whilst here A bit tired, could do with a bit if TLC
- Danicic (10/5): Exceptional -
- Josef (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable to stay in. It has everything you could need for a longer visit and the host makes check in very smooth. No complaints. Everything was great.
- Leszek (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely loved my stay in the charming apartment near Vatican. Perfect blend of comfort and style. The short bus journey to the city centre, made exploring a breeze, and the cozy setup felt like a home away from home.
- Olga (10/5): Comfortable apartment. - I liked the location of the apartment. It is close to St.Peter's Basilica. A lot of cafés, restaurants and shops are near the apartment. Apartment is very spacious. Beds are very comfortable. Na
- Debo (5/5): Quiet location, convenient to buses and train, needs some TLC - The location was nice. I felt safe walking alone at night. It's very quiet. The train station is very close and there is a Carrefour about a half block away. I like to walk, so getting to the center for me was a an easy 40 minute walk. You can take the train to the metro A if you prefer not to walk so much. The Vatican is walking distance. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of blankets available. It's a large and spacious studio apartment. This is not a tourist area, most places close early. There are some nice restaurants and bakeries close by. The owners sent very accurate check-in instructions to get the keys. The place is surfaced clean. The dishwasher had dirty moldy dishes that had never been washed. The place smelled moldy because of it. (I ran a wash cycle to get rid of the odor) The pillows were very lumpy and should be replaced, the towels were small and threadbare. No coffee pot. The shower pan is small and overflows. There are no cleaning supplies except dishwashing (not dishwasher) detergent. No broom, no mop. For longer stays it is inconvenient not to be able to clean, especially since the bathroom floor gets wet when you shower. (I stayed 6 nights) The owners communicated by WhatsApp. Never met them, (although they seemed pleasant) not even to collect the tax money. There was no one to meet me to open the door. Someone was moving so I was able to walk into the building. No instructions for the washer or dishwasher or the button for the front door. I knew how to get the range to work, but I am sure not everyone knows how to turn on the gas to light the stovetop. A microwave would be nice. I guess. It's too bad, with a little TLC this could be a really nice place to stay.
- Khemchik (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect! 10 minutes to station Roma San Pietro to get quickly to airport. 10 minutes to Vaticano. The district is not very touristic! The service is so friendly. Everything was good!
- Kathryn (5/5): I'd give it a C-......needs improvement. - There was no breakfast. The location was close enough to St Peter's to walk. Across the street, there was a restaurant where I ate many meals..... Shower didn't work; only hand held sprayer. Bathroom not caulked well--water got all over the floor. No written instructions on anything. I got stuck inside the building one morning and couldn't get out--eventually figured out I had to push a button (no words or anything on the button--could have been a fire alarm). In the room, light switch had to be on for items to charge up--never told this. AC was okay but not that cooling. Oven was gas which I was afraid to light; stove was electric. No microwave.
- Mark (8/5): Very good -
- Yaara (9/5): Superb - Was an amazing location, awasome view, nice homey feel to the place, clean and quiet The shower space is a tad problematic and let to the floor being wet (there is a small space for the shower with glass on one side and open on the other).
- Vadzim (9/5): Superb -
- Brenton (5/5): Good location. Amenities could use a bit of improvement. - Great location. Spacious. Unique situation where I could not get in the first night so I had to sleep outside the room; property manager did their best to resolve. Also A/C did not work well, it was hot nearly the entire time I was in the room.
- Yoav (9/5): Nice specious apartment - Spacious, well equipped, nice balcony, located very near to a supermarket and restaurants, helpful host, you can see the Vatican dome from the street (however, note that it.took us 25 min walk to the Vatican Museum). There is only one small air condition in the living room and one fan, not enough to cool all the rooms in warm summer days. Also, no nets on the windows, so when opening them mosquitoes may enter.
- Monika (9/5): Superb - Clean apartment, good quality AC was in the kitchen and it was quite ineffective for the bedroom temperature
- Susie (9/5): Superb - Location and communication great!
Owner went of his Way to help. Nil
- Eric (8/5): Nice appartment close to Vatikan. - Nice appartment close to Vatikan. Checkin was very easy and done remotely and by in code. Lovely plus there was a washing machine for our laundry. Everything we expected was there and we enjoyed our stay. May find a better solution than the shower curtain, because these things always annoy us. But thats not important.
Air conditioner may located in the wrong room, but nothing to worry about.
- Girish (9/5): Superb - The house was very well kept. Checkin was easy. Host was very accessible and was prompt in getting us a fan as it was a bit warm in the bedroom. Bus station is nearby Internet strength in the bedrooms were a bit weak. A microwave would have been useful
- Marcos (9/5): Superb -
- Bojan (10/5): Very affordable, without a problem - Better than in pictures General information
- Sebastian (9/5): Great host, great location, amazing time. Happy to come back in the future! - Location was very close to Vatican And communicated well with city center
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dekel (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, clean and organized
Very big apartment with classic Italian look.
The owner is very nice and helpful with every request we make
- Mahesh (8/5): A convenient and comfortable stay near the Vatican. - The location is great. Close to the Vatican (which is why we chose it) but you're going to cab it (about 16e-18e) or walk about 45 mins to the other attractions in the city. Friendly host (but one we never met in person) with detailed instructions for access to keys in the lockbox. Good sized apartment with a spacious living room, balcony, and two decent bedrooms (to sleep us 4). Free parking on the street if you can find a spot (which we did). Showers were hot in the good-sized bath. The appliances in the kitchen can definitely use an upgrade, especially the cooking range. Providing a small microwave and regular coffee pot (they have the individual gas heating pot) would be helpful. The living room could use another sofa (there's only one). The internet connection is reliable but weak - worked in the living room but super weak in the bedrooms.
- Justina (5/5): Passable -
- Ramón (7/5): Good -
- Natalia (9/5): All great! - Great location, just few minutes walk frm Vatican. Apartment is really spacious, we were just 2 people so felt really big. There is everything that you may need during your holiday. There is no kettle.
