Guest Reviews
- Koho (1/5): The owner, Linda, is greedy. - Linda was not flexible after a medical emergency (emergent brain surgery). She had us pay 100% of our stay (directly to her in cash) over a month prior to the expected arrival date. When we were not able to stay due to medical emergency, she was not willing to even give us a discount on a future stay. She took $900 from us and was able to rebook the room to another family. Ive never used a booking site before, nor have I ever made reservations with a private owner. We will only deal with international hotel chains in the future.
- Chiara (8/5): Ottima soluzione - Appartamento di recente ristrutturazione, comodo per brevi soggiorni nella capitale in zona Vaticano. Il palazzo un po’ vecchio. Regole un po strette.
- Elena (10/5): - Everything was great, very spacious. Was extremely clean, family of 5 was very comfortable. Linda was great all went to plan. Rome is beautiful and apartment was perfect for us! Lots of cafes and restaurants close by and very close to Metro so overall perfect location 👌

- William (10/5): Brilliant family holiday in the heart of Rome - An absolutely fantastic apartment in a wonderful location. Close enough to the Vatican but also quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Fantastic local restaurants and amenities. The host, Linda, was brilliant and she made the checking in process very easy and was superb in enabling us to check in early which was a huge bonus given our early flight and arrival in Rome. She also arranged airport transfers which were equally excellent and made the whole arrival and departure process stress free. We would definitely recommend this apartment and location to anyone wanting to explore Rome’s many historical sites but also immerse themselves into Rome life. Thank you Linda for a wonderful stay! There were no negatives at all.
- Amanda (10/5): - Amazing experience that exceeded all my expectations. Beautiful and super clean apartment, perfectly equipped, with super attention to all the little details even ones we would never have thought of. Chiara and Linda were super nice and gave us helpful recommendations. In walking distance to so many great things both on foot and by metro and by bus and also including a very reasonable and yummy bakery. Travel with elderly and kids was made super easy and super fun. Thanks for these amazing memories! Nothing. It was just perfect. Grazie mille!
- Kathleen (10/5): Perfect apartment! We’ll be back!! - Great location. Best host!! Linda went above and beyond making sure we were ready for our trip before we even got to Rome. Great communication and wonderful recommendations!! The apartment was in perfect condition and had everything we needed. We comfortable fit 6 (4 adults and two teenagers) and never felt like we were cramped. Close to the metro if needed too, but we walked to most locations.

- VIVIAN (10/5): - The host (Linda) was efficient (we were chatting even before the actual trip), accommodating, and very helpful. She was quick to respond to any questions and queries.

The two full bathrooms ensured we never had to wait to use one. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and the beds were comfortable in both bedrooms. Also, the location was perfectly situated amongst restaurants and shopping, with a pedestrian street and a metro stop only 1 block away. The walking distance to the Vatican museum was also very reasonable and we had a great stay at Linda’s lovely apartment- highly recommend for families or 2 couples visiting beautiful Roma!

Communication was outstanding — she responded promptly to all our messages and kindly allowed us to check in earlier than the usual time, which we truly appreciated.
The apartment itself was very spacious and clean, well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It's located in a great area, right in the city center, just a short walk from both the metro and bus stations, making it very easy to get around.
Overall, we were very pleased with both the accommodation and the hospitality, and we would not hesitate to return or to recommend it to others. There was nothing to dislike.

The location was also great.
- Vishal (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiidays None
- Nuansiri (7/5): Good - Location is good.Not far from the center. The place is not far from the center, but it comes with an overwhelming number of rules that must be followed precisely. The owner will simply insist that everything was mentioned beforehand, so any oversight is considered your fault. Unfortunately, I missed some of these details—otherwise, I wouldn’t have booked it.
The rules are excessive, such as: don’t touch or get close to the walls because they’re freshly painted, keep luggage away from the walls, and open the windows in a specific way to avoid damage because someone apparently broke them before.
The property has three rooms, but every bed has sagging mattresses, making them uncomfortable. Although we paid a cleaning fee, we were still expected to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, as per the rules. While we always try our best to follow house guidelines, the overall experience felt too restrictive. Next time, we’ll choose a different place.
- Баранов (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location! Comfortable apartment for family. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and living room. All attractions are within walking distance.
- Marianne (10/5): We came as two coupes celebrating our respective 30th anniversaries. Rome was our first stop in a two week trip around - Very clean, great communication from Linda and Eliza. Linda even arranged a private shuttle for us from the airport. Very convenient. Lots of great restaurant very close. Nothing.
- Amanda (10/5): Amazing apartment with great location and incredible people to deal with! - The place was clean and the location was perfect. You are within walking distance of the Vatican and many nice restaurants. The place felt very safe, and the two ladies that we dealt with were so kind. We have no complaints.
- Ryan (10/5): A truly amazing stay! Plenty of rooms for multiple couples and very clean. Would highly recommend! - The location was great with plenty of food options and the subway very close! The rooms were large and comfortable. Plenty of amenities to feel right at home! N/A. It was perfect
- Linda (10/5): IMMACULATE!! - This apartment is Wonderful in every way! Linda is a great host. She met us there and showed us around. Everything is so fresh and new! Extremely clean.

A 5 minute walk to the Vatican! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
- Roberto (10/5): Perfect Holiday in Roma! - The property was in the perfect location very close to the Vatican. It had every amenity you could wish for. It was also close to great restaurants.

- Amanda (10/5): Would recommend this place to anyone traveling for first time as they made everything easy and helpful - Great communication, super clean and comforting Nothing. They made our experience super great, welcoming and more than we could have asked for.
- Eileen (10/5): Lovely Apartment near the Vatican - The apartment was very spacious with many amenities. The showers were large, the apartment was clean, the air conditioning was cold, and the washing machine was appreciated. Linda, the host, gave a very thorough walk through of the apartment and helped us obtain transport to the airport. We were one block away from the Ottaviano Metro and near many stores, restaurants, groceries, and an outdoor market. Couldn't ask for a better location; you can see the Vatican museum from your door. The beds were not very comfortable, and we were only given one bath towel per person for our 3 night/ 4 day stay. The host does not want you washing the towels provided. However, the flat is so nice that I would stay here again regardless of the minor issues. I'm sure Linda would provide extra towels if asked.
- Raffaele (10/5): Exceptional - Our every need was catered for and more. A ‘home away from home’ where we could relax in tranquility. Short walk to the metro, lively neighbourhood and varied restaurants.
- Ying (10/5): Exceptional -
- Juhi (10/5): I would recommend it to my family and friends - Linda and Ele were amazing. Linda was on top of everything to make our stay comfortable. Amazing thing that Ele was waiting outside the apartment for us as she was not able to get in touch with us because of wifi problem.

The apartment has been recently refurbished - very lovely 😍
- Egor (10/5): Roman holiday - The most comfortable stay in Rome you can find. Cozy, spacious and clean apartment in two blocks from the entrance to the Vatican Museum. There are many cafes, restaurants and shops nearby, and there is also a metro station from which you can conveniently get to anywhere in the city. Linda and Elisa, who administer these apartments, will help you with everything. I express my deep gratitude to them for their help in resolving all issues related to my family’s stay in Rome.
- Thomason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Penelope (10/5): Exceptional -
- Geoffrey (9/5): Superb - Linda was great to deal with and was very helpful booking transfers. Accommodation was quiet and in a great location, very comfortable bedding. Unfortunately central heating was not working during our stay, which meant we had trouble drying our towels. The reverse air-conditioning was however working so we could still heat the place so wasn't too much of a hassle.
- Fadia (10/5): Cozy, clean apartment close to Vatican and helpful host who took care of all our needs quickly. - We were allowed an early check-in after a very early flight which was so convenient. The host Linda made sure her assistant personally brought the apartment keys to us downstairs at the local Cafe while we had coffee and waited a short bit. The apartment was well decorated, filled with warmth and well supplied. Area and location were amazing for getting around. Beds were very comfortable and the decorative style was heart warming. Thank You Linda for being an amazing host.... Nothing
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - A new and comfortable apartment at only 5 minutes walking from Piazza S. Pietro. Linda is super nice and very helpful. I definitely recommend the Vatican Royal Apartment for your staying in Rome.
- Karen (10/5): We were very appreciative for all your help. - The cleanliness the location, the extra effort put forth from Linda to ensure everything was taken care of for us. She literally handled everything for us from start to finish. She was amazing. Bless her she had to deal with me. I am not tech savvy and I'm not great at communicating yet she managed to handle it all. Thank you so much for everything you did to help us Linda.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - A very beautiful apartment, which is also spacious, with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was so comforting to go back there after a tiring day of touring Rome!
- Vincent (3/5): Don’t stay - Area The owner hanging around waiting outside at 9-45 and telling us we have 10 minutes to leave $800 dollars 1 night
Couch was advised as third bed for two very uncomfortable
- Sonia (8/5): Overall, we were comfortable staying at this property and it’s great for larger groups. - The location is great! It has two full bathrooms, so perfect for larger families or two couples. Rooms were spacious and there’s an elevator to get you and your luggage to your room. It’s also very private. The owner of the property is very specific and stern about her rules and regulations. She let us know upfront what was allowed and what wasn’t. However, she did check in with us multiple times before and after the trip to make sure we were happy and comfortable.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ka (10/5): Nice and wonderful stay! - The host Linda is super nice. Beautiful and clean apartment and nice location. Perfect stay! None
