We stayed here as a family of 5 in summer 2013, and had such a positive experience then, we were happy to return in December, 2016. Great location near Vatican City, in a very secure setting. Everything about the listing is accurate. Fully functional kitchen, 1 full bath, and attentive owner. The only thing we could improve upon would be an added bathroom, but adjusting to this simply reminded us how fortunate we are to have modern conveniences at home. This owner fully utilizes the HomeAway App which is a masterstroke for traveling in today's times. The owner is very easy to work with and responsive. We were surprised this already very modern property in 2013 was redecorated anew for this trip. We expect to return to Rome again in 2019 and will likely try to stay here again.

We were in Rome for 4 days and this apartment was perfect for that amount of time. The location was fantastic and the apartment was neat and clean. However it could do with a little love. The toilet seat was broken, as was the shower guard which meant that every time we showered the bathroom was soaked. There is also only 1 mirror, which is in the bathroom, a mirror in both bedrooms would really help. Little things but they would make a big difference.

The place is very clean and has most everything to make your Rome stay just like home. The kitchen is basic, but you can make all your meals easily. The unit is probably 80 sq meters and each bedroom is huge. The Vatican is just around the corner, the Musee is 5 min walk, the Ottaviano metro station is 5 min and St Peter Square is 10 min. And there are dozens of restaurants around. The windows open into a quiet courtyard. Our hosts Simone and Carmen, were very responsive to any need and made our stay trouble-free. We hd a minor problem with the internet and it was fixed by the time we returned for the day. Just be sure you have their email or phone numbers for SMS to communicate. You will really enjoy it here as well.

I recently stayed at the apt with my family July 2016. I texted the owner at around 12noon that we would be arriving at 8pm that day just so he knew. When we arrived at 8:30pm the apt had not been cleaned from the previous tenant. We had just traveled from Venice and wanted to have dinner, unpack and go to bed. We were asked to wait 1 hour for the cleaning person to come and change the sheets - at least. By 9:30pm we were able to leave and have dinner. Someone came the next morning to clean which was good but you hate to have someone in your space once you have unpacked all of your belongings. Simone was sorry and promised some credit or free something, but I never got anything back. Additionally, the bathroom is not very functional. There is no toilet paper holder, no towel hooks and half the glass shower door is missing so expect all of the items in the bathroom to get wet. There is also only 1 mirror in entire apt and it is in the bathroom which is caused us to hurry each other up in the bathroom. Pretty simple fix I would think. Also, the pillows are so flimsy that when you put your head down all the stuffing moves to either side. Again, pretty easy fix?? I had read the previous reviews and would have assumed those items people complained about months earlier would have been fixed by the owner -but no. When we arrived there was only 1 opened, and flattened roll of toilet paper and no paper towels. There are still no instructions on how to use the washing machine in English - and no dryer. You would think it would be straight forward but it's not like anything in the US. The owner just doesn't seem very customer service oriented. We traveled through several cities in Europe and this was the only disappointing stay we had. Can't recommend.

It was our first time to Rome and the Vatican. Choosing the right place somewhere that is not familiar to you is always challenging, as it is a critical part of an enjoyable experience. Staying at Simone´s place was great, as it was easily accessible, well located and very comfortable. It was easy to communicate with Simone who was also attentive and helpful with our questions. "Mypad" is located a couple of blocks from the Vatican and surrounded by just about anything one might need. This included the incredible sights, restaurants, and other essentials. We would gladly repeat here in the future. AS

The apartment was OK for what we needed ,but would not stay there again .
