Decent 3 bedroom apartment close to Vatican. Had all the required appliances. Well equipped kitchen. 400m from nearest Metro stop. Comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The apartment was a bit hard to find at first.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay here! The location couldn’t be better - just outside of the Vatican wall. It’s very convenient to metro, taxi stations & restaurants. Silvana promptly responded to my questions and provided great directions and rental description. We were able to drop our luggage off long before check-in time. Beds were super comfortable & we loved having an espresso each morning. Showers are small compared to what we’re used to, but adequate. It was nice to have 2 full baths for 4 adults.

The apartment is centrally located in a safe neighborhood. The apartment itself was clean and we appreciated having a washer/dryer, a/c in each bedroom & cold refrigerator. However be very specific when booking about bed/sleeping arrangements. We were a party of 5 (2 adults and 3 teens) traveling together and specifically booked this apartment because it had 3 bedrooms and advertised it slept 7. The host didn’t ask what beds we wanted made up so we assumed all would be available for us to choose from, but when we went to get ready for bed the 1st evening, only 1 of the 2 twin beds was made up. We contacted Silvania and she said she’d have someone right over with what we needed to make up the other twin bed, but 5 mins later started texting us repeatedly that the maids made the beds up for 5 and 2 people would need to sleep in the double bed together. We planned on putting our son in 1 room and our daughter and son’s girlfriend in the room with 2 twins, so the 2 girls sharing a bed was not an ideal option for us. We ended up making it work with blankets as sheets, but what bothered us the most was the attitude…like we’d done something wrong. There was an easy solution but the host made it a bit difficult. Also, there weren’t enough pillowcases for all the pillows (I like to sleep with 2 pillows) but were afraid to ask for anything else because didn’t want to be bombarded with more texts. Overall, we’d recommend but be specific on needs and don’t expect anything extra.

Lovely property close to Vatican. However, host told us to communicate with her through her phone number, which we did, then scolded us for contacting her through that number. Our plane flight was delayed, which she was fully apprised of, and due to this unforeseen delay, we requested a later check in time of 5:30pm as soon as we were informed by the airlines of the delay- our host scolded us for being “late” (which we were not), stated it’s our fault the person she sent to give us the keys had to wait (why did she send this person early knowing our flight was decayed??), insisted we pay them extra for their wait, sent us messages saying how much we upset her (we literally did nothing to upset her), then complained to VRBO that we never showed up (we showed up at exactly the time we said we would- 5:30pm. She then continued to contact me throughout the stay with negative messages trying to provoke further conversation- this was extremely inappropriate. This is our wedding trip, made unnecessarily stressful. I do not recommend staying here because of the way you are likely to be treated if you attempt it. In more than 20 stays, this is a first.

The apartments is covered in mold showers being the worst. The owner is a complete liar whe will try to swindle you out of fees. Items were damaged from prior and she accused us and tried to charge $250. I would highly recommend staying on the street before you stay here

Great week in Rome
Spacious apartment in a great location short walk to Vatican. Neighborhood had plenty of informal restaurants and cafes for easy dining and grocery stores. Excellent weekend market where the streets are closed to traffic. Subway nearby though we were able to easily walk to all the major Roman tourist sites.

Property is around half an hour drive from the FCO airport, near the city center at convenient location of walking distance from bus stop and Metro station. Vatican City is in just 15 minutes of walking distance. Apartment is located at 3rd floor of a five story building. Elevator looks older but works fine. Building looks little older from outside but the apartment is well renovated and clean with all the amenities.
Silvana is quite friendly and easy to communicate. We have had opportunity to early check in and flexible check out.
A good place to spend a holiday near the Vatican City.

Short Stay in Roma
We were in Rome from September 29 - October 3, 2019 and this apartment was in an excellent location - short walking distance to the Vatican, buses, metro, small grocery store and restaurants. We found the apartment as described and our group of 6 adults enjoyed staying there. The owner Silvana always quickly replied to our e-mails before and during our trip and the check-in process was quick. We would not hesitate to stay there again! Thank you Silvana!

Great apartment in Rome
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Rome. It was nice to be in a quieter neighborhood while still being so close to Vatican City and a Metro stop that allowed easy access to the city center. Silvana was a very responsive host. She quickly arranged for us to get access to the apartment when our plane arrived early and went above and beyond to return an item we accidentally left behind in the apartment.

Great Property in a Perfect Location
The property was perfectly maintained and had everything we needed. Great location within a 5 min walk to the Vatican, delicious nearby restaurants, bakery and a wonderful coffee shop.
Silvana was an outstanding host and even suggested a day trip to a near by lake to escape the heat of Rome.
We will definitely stay here again when we return to Rome.

Quiet location not far from vatican
Access information on VRBO app or website wasn’t available to click (still is disabled for some reason), so we had a hiccup to find the apartment and to get in, but overall the apartment was clean, quiet, and spacious. Walking distance to Vatican helped. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Shower booth was very small, we are petite so it was okay but if you are tall, you will find it very difficult to shower. Little play area next to apartment complex was a plus for my kids!

The home was pleasant and comfortable. Beds were good and the kitchen was finished adequately. Coffee was the best we had in Rome. 20 minutes to the Vatican gate. Many restaurants close and the area was very safe.
