We only stayed there for one night. We got into Rome before checking in time and contacted the place to see if we can store our luggage not only they were able to help us with our luggage but they cleaned up the place and got it ready for us and we were able to check in early. Our room was clean and comfortable. Bedding was fresh. Thank you.

This is an excellent choice for several reasons. 1. Lovely room, kitchen with microwave, stove top, refrigerator. 2. Breakfast each morning - croissants, yogurts, milk, tea coffee, 3. A three to five minute walk to Vatican. 4. Grocery store right behind the building. 5. Good restaurants minutes away. So convenient and well appointed.

The location is perfect for sites in the center of Rome. It is an older building and the room is very small. Husband was a bit too tall for the bed, but the continental breakfast and service was great. Clean and very secure.

Great location and hosts

First time visitor to Rome (and Italy) before we set-off we set-up WhatsApp to communicate which was very helpful! Very convenient location. Just a few minutes walk from Vatican City, we took a taxi into Rome for €15. Emilia and Fabrizio were great hosts who met us there and were also available to message anytime. There is a shared kitchen well stocked with breakfast foods and a coffee machine but the chocolate breakfast croissants was unbelievable! They even allowed us keep our bags there while we visited the Vatican the next morning. Thanks again

The accommodation was clean and tidy, the dishes were washed and the room was cleaned every day. The room was small and not as luxurious as in the picture but comfortable. We were served croissants for breakfast every day, there was milk, yogurt and fruit juices. Coffee was served from the Lavazza coffee machine. Please note, this is a three bedroom apartment with shared kitchen facilities and if you book a room you may have neighbors. We felt very comfortable (19 - 23.03.2024) and Emilia was always available for questions via WhatsApp. The location is great, 900m to St. Peter's Square and 9 bus stops to Piazza di Venezzia. The bus stop is a few minutes away. I would recommend this accommodation.

Prior to the arrival, we had private contact with the host. She gave us all of the necessary information, so everything was very clear. When we got to the apartment, we got a very friendly welcome. She showed us around and explained some things about Rome and sightseeing points. That was very helpful. Every morning there were fresh pastries and coffee. Very nice! The only thing that could of made our stay even better was the bathroom. The shower sometimes did not give us hot water. And also there is barely any room to put your bathroom things on, there are no shelves etc in the bathroom. Otherwise, everything was very clean. Proper bed, which was a treat. And every day the bed was made, when we got home. So overall, it was a very nice stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The red room is beyond livable. We were there for 1 week. the window opens up to your neighbors (no actual view) There was mold around the whole window as well. Bathroom was even worse with mold. Shower was almost black. Towels were never exchanged, we had to grab new ones ourselves. The room in general was not clean, the only thing clean was the sheets. Dust absolutely everywhere, the chair upholstery was falling apart. Don't be fooled by the breakfast. That consists of 2 croissants and thats it. The coffee machine was broken, so that was unusable. This could be an amazing place to stay in Rome, with just a little updating and cleanliness. We ended up resorting to staying out in town as long as we could and leave the room as early as possible. Be prepared to pay a CityTax that Emilia asks you after your stay, and sends you a Sumup or asks for cash to be left in the room. We really tried to like the place because of the location but unfortunately wont be coming back.
