Guest Reviews
- María Eugenia (9/5): Ideal para un pasajero de vacaciones. superó espectativas - la gentileza de los dueños, nos atendieron a alta hora de llegada para facilitarnos la entrada. el
lugar limpio con todo lo necesario
solo agregaría un percherito para colgar lo que uno trae y optimizar espacio todo perfecto
- Peter (9/5): -
- Christel (6/5): - Facilité pour récupérer les clés grâce aux indications claires de l’hôte.
Bel emplacement proche du Vatican et d’un arrêt de métro pour rejoindre le Colisée.
Logement propre. La small room est vraiment petite pour un séjour à Rome de plus de 1 nuit.
Le lit se replie en mode placard mais du coup il n’est pas confortable comme un vrai lit.
La climatisation ne fonctionnait pas.
Nous avons trouvé le logement cher par rapport aux prestations.
- Fabiola (9/5): Posizione ottima e tranquilla - Posizione ottima, appartamento grande, comodo, luminoso e silenzioso Non c'è un deposito bagagli e non si possono portare biciclette al sicuro nel cortile
- Błażej (10/5): -
- Bronislava (5/5): Veľmi priemerné ubytovanie - Páčila sa nám lokalita a cena Nebola tam normálna posteľ, ale vyklápacia. Nedalo sa okolo nej ku oknu prejsť. Navliečky neboli čisté.
- Ellis (9/5): -
- Claire (8/5): Slightly small but great location - Location was great It was a little small but had everything we needed
- Webster (10/5): Udany - Obiekt czysty, zadbany. Nie mam żadnych uwag. Blisko Watykanu, sklepików i restauracji
- Aida (10/5): -
- Irada (10/5): the best - everything was perfect while our stay nothing
- Povill (8/5): -
- Lotis (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location is excellent – very close to the Vatican and within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, and shops.
Communication with the host was smooth and very professional. Elena was kind, responsive, and gave clear instructions, which made our stay stress-free.
We were traveling with family, and it was perfect for us – quiet, safe, and very cozy. We truly felt at home. Everything was exactly as described, if not even better.
We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Rome. Nothing at all – everything was perfect.
- Titford-Keller (9/5): Perfect base for a few days in Rome - Great property which had everything we needed. Nothing it was excellent.
- Gloria (7/5): - Posizione eccellente, camera piccola ma essenziale. Ideale per brevi viaggi Peccato che mancava il servizio di housekeeping, in 3 notti si è sentita la necessità di averne uno.
- Valentin (10/5): Excelent - Curățenie
Localizare bună
- Indrė (10/5): -
- Gaia (9/5): -
- Riccardo (8/5): -
- Luis Angelo (8/5): - Close to Vatican & Metro station.
Nice furniture.
Secure building.
Washing machine.
Spacious bedroom & shower. Areas for improvement:
1. Stained pillow sheets.
2. Strannds of hair on bed
3. Need coffee cups
3. More trash bags.
- Sajjad (4/5): - Location Was not clean
- Valentina (9/5): Comodità e comfort - Posizione centrale in quartiere residenziale e ben servito, strategica anche rispetto alla metropolitana linea A.
Appartamento spazioso e dotato di ogni comfort. Letto comodo. Cortesia e disponibilità dell’host. Assenza di insonorizzazione rispetto agli altri due appartamenti confinanti che ha reso difficile il riposo notturno. Pulizia complessiva da migliorare (lenzuola e asciugamani, a parte).
- Sophie (7/5): Great location. Good base for travel - Great location, quirky lift was fun and added to the experience Quite warm and couldn’t figure out how to turn the heating off, air con wasn’t as powerful or I couldn’t figure it out myself lol! Only pest thing was I was sent instructions to check in about 4 or more times but none of them stated the codes you need to get in the main doors.
- Szewczyk (8/5): -
- Matthew (9/5): Great apartment for a city break! - Really spacious. Sensibly furnished. Excellently located!
Everything you need for a city break. The floor and rug could have done with a clean but other than that it was spotless.
- Rumen (10/5): Всичко беше много хубаво! - Чисто, уютно и отлична локация
- Yana (10/5): -
- Erica (8/5): -
- ViviDani (9/5): Cerca del vaticano, vecinos muy amables. - Cerca del Vaticano,
Los vecinos muy simpáticos.
Menos del vaticano del resto de monumentos esta sobre media hora camino Las almohadas.. muy gastadas / usadas... nos hemos ido con tortícolis y dolor de espalda.
Y en principio creíamos que habíamos alquilado un Apartamento y cuando llegamos solo era una habitación miní, con un baño mini.
- Loïc (10/5): Appartement premium vaste et confortable - L'appartement premium est très vaste, situé au 5ème étage avec ascenseur. Le quartier est calme et résidentiels. A proximité, on trouve des restos, supérettes et magasins. Le logement est situé à environ 10 minutes à pieds de la Cité du Vatican. L'hôte avait prévu du café, du thé, du lait, de l'eau, du jus de fruit, des gâteaux à disposition. C'est une attention sympa. La cuisine est vraiment minuscule et ne dispose que de peu d’ustensiles. Je ne recommanderai pas d'y loger à 6 personnes. C'est techniquement possible car il y a un grand lit et deux canapés lit mais cela deviendrait compliqué pour faire la cuisine.
- Maddalena (10/5): -
- Lily (10/5): היה נעים היה נחמד,אשמח להגיע שנית. - המיקום היה מעולה. תקשורת ישירה עם בעל הדירה...לא כולם מסתדרים עם התכתבויות בפלאפון.
- Maurizio (8/5): -
- Pavle (7/5): Excellent location, and very kind host ! Good. - Location is very good, 4-5 min walk from metro station, and also close to Vatican. Host is very kind and avaliable for all questions. It's quiet during the night. Bed is small and not comfortable, so not recommended for tall people. It's a murphy bed, and behind your head is a hole. It can be cleaner. I stayed 4 nights and there was no room cleaning or towels change. Room is small, so during the night it can be stuffy. There is no luggage storage.
- Waly Clement (9/5): Un excellent rapport qualité/prix pour un emplacement idéal - La disponibilité de l'hôte (il nous a laissé faire le check-out à 20h gratuitement le jour de notre départ
La sécurité de l'appartement
La localisation à moins d'un km du Vatican et dans une rue commerçante et pas loin du métro
- Erika (9/5): - Muy cómodo, bien ubicado, amplio para nuestra familia que somos 4. Muy buena comunicación con el propietario. Armarios amplios, lavadora, baño muy amplio, cafetera... Todo genial.
- Marcin Łagowski (6/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Czystość. Informacje dotyczące zameldowania. Niestety tutaj trochę zaufalem zdjęciom przy wyborze . Opis wprawdzie mówił ze jest to mały pokój ale nie wyobrażałem sobie że 2 osoby nie przejdą koło siebie... w opise powinna być informację ze to są 5m2. Spędziłem 5 dni a ten pokój jest max na 2 noce
- Ömer (9/5): -
- José Ramón (9/5): Ens ha agradat molt Roma - Confort i situació
- Darrin (6/5): - The trouble of trying to contact the owner to get the keys, we arrived and it took 35mins to get into our room.
- Elena (10/5): -
- Polly (9/5): -
- LEONIDAS (8/5): -
- Dawn (9/5): Stop looking. This apartment has it all. - Brilliant location. Walk everywhere. 10 minutes from the Vatican. Excellent restaurants nearby.
The apartment was spacious, had a great bathroom, dishwasher, air con and wifi. Nothing except I would have liked a toaster.
- jose (10/5): Excepcional para amar aún más a Roma! No desentona para nada. - Ubicación y el edificio!
- John (8/5): -
- Klaus (9/5): - Sehr sauberes und gut ausgestattetes Appartment in guter Lage. Gut isolierte Fenster, man hört den Verkehrslärm kaum. Appartement war um 15.30 Uhr noch nicht fertig. Sollten noch 1 Stunde warten.
- Cristina (10/5): - L’appartamento è veramente molto bello, confortevole, ben arredato, in un bel palazzo e molto buona la posizione
Sicuramente tornerò Nulla
- José (4/5): - Da localização Temperatura do quarto insuportável
- Monika (9/5): Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage und würden jederzeit wieder dahin gehen. - Super Lage, unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe, jederzeit wieder aber in einem größeren Apartment. Das Zimmer war schön und zweckmäßig, aber sehr klein.
- Sanchez pastor (7/5): - La limpieza y la ubicación. No hay servicio de limpieza y habitación muy pequeña.
- Josef (10/5): -
- Laura (9/5): - L'emplacement et la propreté Le lit un peu trop mou
- Ndomawa (10/5): - Peaceful Everything was perfect !!
- Dipa (9/5): Superb -
- Michal (9/5): Superb - Location was perfect, near to Metro, near to Vatican, very good breakfast nearby. We had everything we needed in our room. It was quite small, but good enough for 2 people who spend their time in Rome and not in the room.
- Molly (9/5): Beautiful, modern apartment - Beautiful apartment and the location was perfect. Some confusing instructions to access the apartment but the host was very responsive
- Trevor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Irina-oana (10/5): Very nice apartment - Very nice furniture, clean and comfortable, perfectly located. Wifi is not working in the bedroom. The router is placed outside the apartment and the signal weakens as the distance where you sit grows.
An inside router will solve the problem.
- Fi (10/5): Amazing Apartment - Everything, nothing more to say - great sleep, felt safe, great shower and great location. I have no compliants, our stay was amazing.
- Sabine (5/5): Well located but super small and uncomfortable - The location is really well connected and central We stayed in the small double room and it was way smaller than expected to be honest. Being there with 2 people is really uncomfortable and you can barely walk or move. Besides that the bed is also super small for two people. It’s also good to know that the room is inside of an actual apartment you are sharing with others. In our case the others decide to ring the bell of the apartment multiple times at 1 am in the morning for two nights in a row and we’re super noisy which made it impossible to sleep. Also the room wasn’t the cleanest and has a lot of potential for improvement. If you’re a student on a budget or looking for a place to just sleep it’s ok but you wouldn’t like to spend more time than needed there.
- Julien (7/5): Great trip to Rome. The location of the apartment was great and it was well equipped - Location. Facilities. Ease of communication with renter. Wifi was patchy
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zuzana (9/5): We really liked the place, equipment and location. All was amazing :) - Everything was great just the only thing was a thin wall between living room and neighbours so you could hear all until late night.
- Roxana (10/5): Perfect stay in Rome - Everything we need was there, even the room was quite small.
Very good communication with the host and easy online check-in and acces to the building at night.
Close to Vatican and metro station or buses. Everything was fine.
- Ian (10/5): Fabulous stay in magical city 🤗🤗🤗 - It was lovely and warm, great location just around the corner from the Vatican and easy to walk to lots of attractions Nothing it was lovely
- Anna (10/5): Really nice stay - It was a great place for staying close to vatican sights, it was on the main street full of shops and butiques but still it was quiet. We had everything we needed. Clean apartment, comfy bed. Great experience, would pick again. Nothing, everything was perfect.
- Marina (7/5): Good -
- Marta (8/5): Practical location, minor teething issues at the property - Very practical location, it's a lively neighbourhood full of shops, cafes, restaurants. Feels safe. Close to the Ottaviano metro station.
The apartment was spacious, generally clean and well-equipped. There is a washing machine and a dishwasher, so your stay will be comfortable. The furnishings are new and don't feel off-putting. Accessing the property can be a bit convoluted when you do it for the first time, it's all done using electronic keys from a website.
There is no daily cleaning service. I think it would be helpful to have someone come every second day to sweep the floors, give the bathrooms a quick clean.
We stayed here in January and the heating was on a timer, maybe 2-3h in the morning and the same in the evening. We were a bit chilly at night. It would be welcome to have the heating on for longer. Also, the radiators were noisy due to trapped air inside them plus neither of them would have the entire surface fully hot, so my advice to the owner would be to 'bleed' (remove the air) the radiators to ensure they are working properly, both for the comfort of the guests and for the maintenance of the heating system in the flat.
It takes around 45s for the tap water to become properly hot.
The property shares a hallway with two other properties and the door is not soundproofed, so if you slept on the sofa in the living room, you'd probably get woken up by the noises of people coming in and out of the neighbouring apartments.
The quality of the towels was quite poor, they felt cheap and left bits of towel fluff all over your body.
- Eleni (6/5): not worth for its money not spacious -
- Ana (8/5): Very good - Room was clean Room was tooo small.. It wasn't small it was mini..
- Matthew (8/5): Lovely clean apartment - The apartment was clean and tidy and came with washing powder for the washing machine. The building was lovely and very clean The hot water was only just warm and when you did was your clothing there was no where to hang if do it could dry
- Agnieszka (8/5): Comfy stay in good location. - Comfortable apartament close to Vatican City. Perfect for a longer stay, with a comfy bed, sofa in living room and nice big bathroom.
- Maary (10/5): Great location close to Vatican etc, super comfy and ideal for our trip - Fabulous spacious apartment, really close to Vatican City, super comfy, well appointed and everything looking nice and new and fresh. Lovely touches of milk, juice and water left for us, with coffee machine etc. We had a great stay, everything worked and there were no issues at all. Check-in was via phone and internet, which worked just fine once we got our head around what to do! Would highly recommend and would stay again without hesitation. Can't really think of anything here.
- Pushpak (6/5): Pleasant - The size and location and cleanliness The sound proofing was bad , I could hear everything in the next room. Also getting in was an issue as the main door dlkeu didn't work and I had to use the digital key every time
- Kimberly (8/5): Conveniently located near food and metro, comfortable, spacious apartment. - Conveniently located near food and metro. Comfortable, spacious apartment. The WiFi was very weak and was not suitable for working from the apartment as it would go in and out. Certain areas of the apartment did not get any WiFi signal at all. The shower at times would not get hot water.
- Longxuan (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Great spacious and clean apartment in Prati district of Rome. Easy access and quiet location. - Very large apartment, well located and in a quiet area of Rome. No issues with entry and key collection - very clear instructions. No concerns. Well done.
- Yujin (10/5): Go to stay for Vatican city and easy access to the town. - Good location, 10mins walk to Vatican and 10mins walk to a metro to go to the town. NA
- József (9/5): OK - Our expectations met in everything A bigger trash can in the kitchen
- Pawel (10/5): Great stay - Very modern and comfortable apartment, great location right next to the Vatican.
- Karen (7/5): Small room, but comfortable, good value for money and for a short stay - Good location The room is very very small, no room for our luggages, is either luggages or space to move around the bed.
- Maria (8/5): A great location for all key sites, and comfortable enough for a short stay. - It was clean and well set up. There was even a Nespresso machine which we hadn’t expected but very much appreciated. So too the fridge. The air con was very efficient and power was on when we went out, meaning that items could be charged while we were out of the property and the fridge stayed on. The place was very small, but this was expected as photo and the property sizing was accurate……it was small. The bed was very comfortable. Given the “compact” nature of the room sometimes moving around was difficult. Very large people would certainly struggle. What was particularly frustrating and painful was catching shins on the metal corners of the bed and toes banging against the metal legs. We put folded towels under the mattress and over the corners and the legs…….alas knocking them again after a shower. Padding of some sort would help. It wouldn’t look elegant but it would have improved how my legs looked.
We made a mess up of our arrival, turning left to a lift rather than turning right and though a courtyard. A phone call was made and much appreciated help given. I subsequently saw on a WhatsApp message that the instructions were clearer than he many previous emails from the booking agent and the property.
- Can (9/5): EVERYTHING WAS GREAT - LOCATION WAS GOOD. VERY CLEAN APARTMENT. ENTERING. IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM BUT IF SOMETHING DID GO WRONG, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO RESOLVE.
- Kyle (5/5): Passable - Location to Vatican and restaurants. Small room, small tilt down bed with no head board and unable to sit up on bed. Not a lot of room.
Quite difficult process checking in. If not computer or phone savvy would be difficult.
- Erin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional - Just fantastic! 5 min walking from Vatican, metro and grocery shop. Fresh, beautiful and clean apartment. All you need for a living: nespresso coffee machine, air condition, iron, hair dryer, dishwasher, washing machine, 2 tv with Netflix, YouTube ect. . Helpful staff. It's a 11 of 10!!!
Есть биде! 😂 Washing machine a bit noisy.
- Dominykas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zdenka (10/5): Everything good. - Great location. Everything new and clean. Kitchen doesnt have big knife and cutting board.
