- Belen (10/5): Excelente - La ubicación excelente, el anfitrión también. Muy atento y predispuesto.
Lo recomiendo.
- Nicolas (7/5): Un logement dédié au tourisme géré par des professionnels. - L'emplacement Approche peu amicale/agréable du professionnel (et non de l'hote) qui gère sûrement un ensemble de biens locatifs touristiques.
- Zdenka (6/5): - Ubytování je blízko historického centra Špinavé nádobí a celkově nečistoty.
- Nicolas (9/5): Bon emplacement - L emplacement est excellent pour visiter le Vatican
Et très proche du métro pour le reste...comme nous aimons nous promener nous avons privilégié la marche, le cente historique est a 30 mn a pieds
Early check in facilité par la réactivité du propriétaire.
- Lemaire (5/5): Appartement vatican - Appartement bien placé face au Vatican bémol vétusté des appareils lave vaisselle et bouilloire entartré et sal manque le micro onde. Point positif la literie et la salle de bain propre Appartement bien placé face au Vatican bémol vétusté des appareils lave vaisselle et bouilloire entartré et sal manque le micro onde.

- Rudolf (9/5): - Výborný pomer lokality, veľkosti ubytovanie a ceny. Pan ktorý to prenajíma je milý a ochotný. Kuchynské náradie by sa mohlo vymeniť inak všetko fajn.
- Grzegorz (7/5): Ok - Lokalizacja Czystosc
- Anne (10/5): -
- Karolina Pezda (8/5): - Świetna lokalizacja
Pozytywny i miły gospodarz
Duży apartament
Dobra cena Zapach z kanalizacji, ale pewnie to uroki Rzymu ;)
Śmieci nie były wyrzucone po poprzednich gościach
- Sylwia (8/5): intensywny ale bardzo ekscytującypobyt w Rzymie i na pewno lokalizcja apartamentu bardzo nam pomogła - Kontakt z właścicielem bardzo dobry. Praktycznie zarówno przed przyjazdem i już po wylądowaniu byliśmy w stałym kontakcie. Niewątpliwą największą zaletą jest położenie obiektu. Praktycznie przy murach muzeów Watykańskich. Na plac Św Piotra jakieś 7 do 10 min spacerkiem. Najdalszy z tych najbardziej znanych obiektów znanych w Rzymie - Koloseum to ok 2,5 km więc tylko z uwagi na kupiony online bilet na konkretną godzinę wybrałyśmy ubera, bo w innych okolicznościach poszłybyśmy spacerem. Samo wyposażenie mogłoby być lepsze. Nam najbardziej brakowało kuchenki mikrofalowej choć jest piekarnik, kieliszków do wina (był zaledwie 1 i to niewielki) oraz filiżanek/kubków do kawy, ale to aż tak nie rzutowało na ocenę. Bardziej hałas z sąsiednich mieszkań i klatki. Jedno z okien salonu wychodzi na klatkę i choć jest zamknięte okiennicą od środka to poranne wyjścia sąsiadów z ciąganiem walizek albo burzliwymi komentarzami były bardzo dobrze słyszalne i praktycznie eliminowały konieczność używania budzika. Zarówno łóżko podwójne jak i rozkładana sofa wygodne. Brakowało drugiego, podręcznego ręcznika (był po 1 na osobę ręcznik kąpielowy). W budynku jest winda. W sąsiedztwie restauracje i supermarket. Bardzo dobra pizza zaledwie 5m od wejścia do budynku. Mimo drobnych niedogodności polecam miejsce, bo warto. hałas z klatki budynku i w pokoju z łóżkiem hałasy u sąsiadów.

- Maciej (10/5): -
- maria (10/5): Perfecto - La cercanía al vaticano No puedo decir que algo no me gustará, quizás que al estar pegado al vaticano queda lejos de otros sitios, pero todo no puede ser y hay muy buena comunicación con transporte publico
- Jonathan Carbajal (8/5): Buena ubicación! - La ubicación y el acceso (formas de ingresar, ascensor si viajas con maletas grandes o adultos mayores) La mobiliaria podría renovarse (sillas, camas, muebles) ya que eran bastante antiguos.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Very spacious. Well equipped and well located .
- Lilian (9/5): -
- Giuseppe (8/5): -
- Kaloyan (10/5): - Great place. Highly recommended!
- Isaza Trujillo (10/5): Si hay otra oportunidad, regresamos con gusto. - Situado cerca a la entrada del vaticano, con restaurantes, supermercados y tiendas de compra en los alrededores. Mejorar el sofacama de la sala. Los cojines se desajustan.
- Nadia (10/5): - Tutto proprietari molto gentili, simpatici
- Guest (10/5): Vem, sente, conhece e parte com o coração mais cheio. - A disponibilidade e cuidado sem fim do Anfitrião, Fabio, antes e durante a estadia. A eficiência do check-in. O apartamento tem tudo para que nos sintamos verdadeiramente em casa e a sua localização é perfeita: resguardada e a escassos passos de diversas alternativas de comércio ( Mercado Triunfal, restaurantes, supermercados) e com acessibilidade a transportes públicos (metro e autocarros).
- Eixhan (10/5): - Even better than the photos. Loved the place. Very very comfortable.
- Olga (10/5): -
- Valery (9/5): - La ubicación era perfecta, el metro queda muy cerca y así había movilidad hasta el centro!
- Anton (10/5): - Veľmi pekný priestranný apartmán v tesnej blízkosti metra a Vatikánu .
- Mcclellan (8/5): Single Mom takes teens to Europe - The location was great. Little restaurant around the corner, The Loft, was great for breakfast. The sushi place across the street, Okasan, was yummy! 2 blocks to the Vatican! Its was perfectly spacious and true to the pictures. There was AC but not in my kids' room, but the fan provided pulled the cool air from the other rooms just fine. My kids are HOT and found it comfortable. We were 2 adults (1 is my 18 year old son) and 1 child. I was clear many months prior that i need sleeping space for my two children separate from Mom, yet the second twin didn't have sheets. Once communicated, they sent someone the next day with sheets.
- Cornelia (9/5): Great apartament -

- Agata (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect! All we need to have comfortable visit in Rome, thanks a lot!
- Marser (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing place to stay! Looks exactly like the photos.
Two separate bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen -
a lot of space for a family or a group of friends.
The host is very kind and easy to communicate with.
One of the highlights was listening to classical music on vinyl, which really enhanced the vibe of our stay.
And special thanks to the host to let us leave luggage earlier🫶🏼 Nothing!
- Inga (9/5): Superb - Good location, the apartment had everything you need and there was plenty of space for rest. Good location - it's a minus too 😃close to the city center, unfortunately, there is a lot of noise from the street in the nightl, which in principle can be solved with earplugs.
- Dmitrii (9/5): Superb -
- Kaushik (9/5): Nice fully furnished apartment walk to Vatican Museum - Very nicely furnished and clean apartment with all amenities - dishwasher, washing machine, utensils, microwave,toaster etc.
It even included a turntable and vinyls to listen to music.
Apartment was very near to Vatican museum so that was convenient. The Metro station was also 10 mins walk.
Host Fabio was very helpful and provided upfront information prior to visit. Also helped with the keyless entry.
Would highly recommend. The elevator was bit small and narrow. Good for 3 visitors and a suitcase.
- Jason (10/5): Fantastic Stay at Vatican Museum Apartment – Highly Recommend! - I had a wonderful stay at the Vatican Museum Apartment during my trip to Rome. Fabio, the host, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly responsive and attentive, always ready to answer my questions and provide helpful advice. His hospitality made my visit stress-free and enjoyable.
The apartment’s location couldn’t be better—it’s close to the Vatican Museums, great restaurants, and the metro, making it super convenient to explore the city. On top of that, the place was spotless, comfortable, and an excellent value for money.
If you’re visiting Rome and want a convenient, well-maintained place to stay with a top-notch host, I highly recommend the Vatican Museum Apartment. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip!
- Lilit (9/5): Superb -
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judith (10/5): Great apartment to stay at near the Vatican! - Immaculate apartment, with a terrific location near the Vatican. Everything was fine!

- Natalya (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is very comfortable and clean.
The apartment has everything you need.
- Sara (10/5): Amazing!!! - The house was spacious, clean and ever better than pictured, the host incredibly thoughtful and nice. Fully furnished and equipped with everything you may need.
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is excellent, as the photos. It was spotless when we arrived. The host is always available to help you. 5 minutes from Vatican and Metro line. Neighborhood is nice, safe and not crowed.
- Jean-francois (9/5): Superb - Fabio was super attentive to our needs and a great host Nothing
- Heinrich (10/5): Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed apartment with a top host - A beautiful, renovated and very spacious apartment close to the Vatican. Several coffee shops, restaurants, bars, fasion shops and grocery stores in close proximity, same for the metro and bus stops. But the standout feature is the host: in over 14 years of traveling we have never had a more helpful and kind host. Fabio even drove out to the apartment late on a Friday night and stayed until a problem with the door lock was fixed. He provided tips in where to eat and personally called a taxi on the morning we left: surely a candidate for the #1 superhost in Booking.com. Nothing not to like
- Francesco (10/5): The apartment felt like home. - Very clean updated apartment with an excellant location near Vatican City. The host was super accommodating and helpful.
- Dominika (10/5): Excellent! - Communication with Fabio was fast and excellent. Everything was perfectly clean and ready to be used. Beds super comfy. I would let install the mosquito nets for windows.
- Olga (10/5): Lovely apartment near St. Peter's Basilica - The apartment is just perfect: spacious with with high ceilings, renovated and firnished with love and taste. Close to Vatican and not far from the Old City of Rome. It is just exactly what you need to be inspired and relaxed. Fabio is an absolutely great and welcoming host. It has nothing to do with the apartment and neighborhood but at nights it seemed somewhat loud. Maybe because of the weekend. Anyway, so is Rome.
- Joanne (10/5): Fantastic - The apartment is in a great location, clean and spacious. Would stay here again.
- Hristo (9/5): Perfect getaway - Location, spacious , clean, host was responsive and accommodating Be careful with the virtual key. There is very low mobile internet connectivity in the building
- Jadwiga (10/5): Perfect apartment ideally located - Apartment is centrally located, clean, comfortable. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, we could leave our luggage earlier at the apartment.
We definitely will recommend it everyone and in case we will visit Roma again - we will choose the same place. Highly recommended All was perfect
- Sulaman (10/5): Exceptional - Great size for a group of 4. The location was great, near the vatican and bus/metro/train stop. Full kitchen and washer, which is very convenient. Fabio was very helpful.
- Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (9/5): Superb - location of the apartment, the possibility to arrange an earlier check-in and departure time
- Yongwoo (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, clean, responsive host, nice facility, modern interior. Nothing.
- Nadzeya (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, 500 m from the Vatican! Everything in the apartment is decent, autonomous heating.The excellent attitude of the host, many thanks for the organization of the round-trip transfer.We were very pleased with the Roman holidays!
- Björk (8/5): Very good - Great Location. Newly renovated. Very good overall. The beds could be more comfortable, maybe this is personal preference.
- Margarida (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great and the host was super kind. It smelled a bit like vinegar but I understand that is due to cleaning.
- Sakuntala (9/5): Very homey for your vacation -
- Adrian (10/5): One of the best stays in Rome - The property is located in a quiet area, very close to Vatican city. The metro station is also really close.
There are plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity (less than 10 minutes of walk) and a local market, which is definitely worth visiting - it's an experience.
The apartment is very spacious and clean, and there is anything you need for a comfortable stay.
The communication with the owner was also really good and we've felt welcome :) The apartment locker sometimes doesn't work at the first or second try because the phone signal/data connection is poor inside the building (because of the thick walls), and it's normal. It works well however if you stay close to the door and connect to the provided wi-fi.
- Anna-maria (10/5): Very good location just near Vatican. Nice apartment and friendly owner. Clean and cozy. Everyone! I highly recommend to - The apartment was just the way we needed!
It is spacious, clean, bright, with modern furniture and facilities. Fully equipped kitchen. Veeeeeery clean. We have spent 7 days in Italy, travelling with a 4 y.o. girl. We spent three days in Rome in this apartment. and it was best experience we have ever had! Every Morning we had a delicious breakfast with utmost Italian products listening Beethoven, Prokofiev and Bach. The vinyl player made our stay very memorable and cozy. Thank you for the vinyl library. ❤️Up on the arrival we have found a bottle of wine in the fridge and a nice toy for our girl which made her even more happy 😃
We have not seen the owner but we felt his care the whole stay. The photos and apartment description is exactly the same as in reality. Very good location. Thank you and I wish to come back soon. Everything was perfect
- Anna (10/5): Comfy apartment in Rome for a family of four! - The apartment is completely new renovated, features 2 bedroosms and a huge livingroom. You can comfortabely stay there in a group of four people. The apartment was very well equipped and in walking distance to the vatican. We loved our stay there and will definitly return! Also the host Fabio was very helpful and welcoming. Everything was great!
- Miltos (10/5): An overall ideal apartment and location. Fabio, the host, will help you with everything you need. - We could have our breakfast and coffee just outside the entrance of the complex, there is a cafeteria next door. Two minutes walk to the local market and five minutes walk to the metro and Vatican Museums entrance. Ideal location for sightseeing and very convenient. An extra set of towels would be perfect, especially for stays longer than 3 days. Also, some additional toilet paper rolls would be nice to have so that you don't run out of and need to visit the market.
- Pia (9/5): Would stay here again for sure - Very nice apartment, clean and tidy! Host was great and the check in was hassle free (door with code) so very easy and seamless process (no need to coordinate for keys and stuff) Nothing
- Martin (10/5): Wonderful stay in a spacious nicely located apartment with a very friendlie host. - The apartment was very clean and spacious with a comfortable living room and very nice bathroom. Location was superb and very close to Vatican. /
- Brittany (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ieva (7/5): Good -
- Rodrigo (8/5): Awesome location for a family stay beside the Vatican City - I stayed in this apartment in July 2023 during the summer high season with my wife and in-laws (i.e. 4 adults in total). The apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is an elevator that the guests can use. The host was very kind to contact me to coordinate a time to hand me the apartment keys and to show us around the apartment. Have in mind that the check-in is around 15:00-16:00 hrs, so do not plan to arrive too early in Rome, unless you plan to use luggage lockers or dare to walk around the city in the scorching hot summer.
The apartment is modest and has all what was offered in the advertisement (WiFi, two portable ACs (one in the living-room and the other in the bedroom), a washing machine, kitchen, etc.).
The location of the apartment is fantastic. It is just a 3-minute walk from the entrance to the Vatican Museums and around a 5 to 10-minute walk to the Ottaviano metro station and the entrance to the Vatican City. There are plenty of restaurants around to try.
Given the total price for the entire apartment and the location, I'd definitely recommend families to stay in this place for a few nights. A few aspects that lower my punctuation are the following:
1. Payment is cash only - It was kind of difficult to find a decent ATM on my arrival in Rome. This is no joke when traveling around with luggage and older people or kids. Also, when moving around the city with all the luggage, you are the main target of pickpocketers in public transport. Be aware of that!!
2. In the advertisement of the apartment, there is a picture of a rooftop, which was not shown around by the host. I do not know if guests have access to this rooftop, but this picture in the advertisement may be deceiving.
3. The pictures shown in the advertisement give the sensation that the apartment is newly renovated, colorful and bright. In reality, my first impression was that the apartment looked a bit gloomy and that the pictures were taken several years ago (nothing major anyway).
4. Bed of main room was a sofa bed.
- Alice (8/5): Very good - Location very close to the Vatican. Good place to eat right at our doorstep, few others nearby. Carrefour Market around the corner. Quiet building. Friendly owner, allowed us a late check out.
- Laura (8/5): Very good -
- Thaina (9/5): Easy stay, just relaxed - location is the best,size of the apartment, clean, the owners.
I can recommend it for sure. nothing, everything was great for the price paid.
- Szabolcs (9/5): A nice Italian apartment - The apartment has a very good position, it is situated in a beautiful zone of the city. The host is super frindely and helpful. The flat is beautiful, spacious, well equipped, has a typical Italian style. We loved it. In the bedroom there is a comfortable bed. In the living you have a couch enough for 2 persons.
I can recommend it! 🙂
- Adnan (10/5): Wonderful - Excellent is everything. Location. Kindly people. Everything are near appartment. Pleasent staying . Rome is so beautiful. I wish come back soon. Nothing
- Andreas (7/5): Good -
- Volodymyr (6/5): apartment needs renovation and normal cleaning (under bed and behind dresser as well) - Location, central heating, gas cooking panel, wifi Lots of dust, hair and mold. mold in the bathroom. warm water from the tap in the washbasin almost never flows and there is very little pressure. The gas boiler is very noisy. the apartment stinks of cigarette smoke very strongly.
clothes hanger was broken, I had to fix it
- Mindaugas (10/5): Exceptional - Nice apartments close to vatican
