Paola & her assistant were absolutely amazing! They communicated with me regularly throughout our stay. The Apt is conveniently located in a very pleasant neighborhood, very near a train station, great restaurants & within walking distance of all major landmarks in Rome. We had such an amazing time! I do have one minor comment to make; the showers in both Master Suites are VERY small. We are all medium size ppl, so if you’re a larger person, you may want to check with the owner on the measurements of the showers before booking. Overall a GREAT place to stay. Thanks Paolo & Romula, you both were very pleasant and kind hosts!

My wife, my daughter and I had a very nice stay in this apartment near the Vatican. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and has the most comfortable beds that we have had in all of our trips to Italy.

Pros: Great location with many nearby eateries. Owner easy to reach via WhatsApp. Very clean and comfortable.
Cons: Beware if you are not a small person: both showers are VERY small and hard to fit into if you are not small. Also, the apartment does NOT have a "common area" where occupants can sit together. It's 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen, PERIOD.

There is no better place to stay in Rome!! You will not regret booking this apartment. It is the perfect setup for traveling with another couple or adult children.

We stayed at this apartment for our last two nights in Rome. Paola met us upon check in and showed us all the details of the apartment. It is immaculately maintained and well stocked. The balcony is an amazing feature and we spent lots of time on it enjoying a glass (or two) of wine and taking in all the sites and sounds. We loved that the area was quieter and away from more of the touristy sites. It is a neighborhood frequented by some very friendly locals. The staff at the bar downstairs were all very friendly and helpful and I definitely had more opportunities to practice my Italian as compared to other areas in the city. There is a supermarket located just a few doors down which is very convenient. Paola gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We ate at “Goose” the last night which is a short walk away and it was delicious. The best gelato we had in Rome was at a small gelateria across the street diagonally located from the apartment-my 5 year old adamantly agreed that it was top notch! We would definitely stay at this apartment again and thank Paola and Romula for a great last few days in Rome!

The flat in Venice is very nice. It’s in a good location with easy transportation by bus or train or taxi. Views of the Saint Peter’s dome are great. We would stay here again

Other than it being a 100+ our entire stay we had a great time. Paulo was a great host and the apartment was perfect. The extra bedroom was nice as we had a teenager with us. Thanks Paulo!

The apartment was spacious and well equipped for my family of four stay of 3 nights. It is located walkable distance from Vatican and about 10min away to other central Rome destinations via taxi. Access to supper market, cafes snd restaurants as soon as you get down was definitely helpful. Communication with Romula and Paula couldn’t be better, they were always just a message away. Thanks you both for the inputs and your check ins with us.
Few things that might need attention is the dishwasher and air conditioning. We couldn’t get the dishwasher working at all, air conditioning works but doesn’t seem to go anything cooler nnthan 25 degrees. However, these were just minor things, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
Would recommend if looking for something close to Vatican.

Our family had a lovely stay in Rome of 5 days at this beautiful and comfortable apartment. Everything was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable and the pillows were perfect (Al dente comes to mind). With the seasonal warm weather we greatly appreciated the air conditioned bedrooms. The balcony was a great place for morning coffee and evening dinners supplied by the excellently stocked grocery store at street level. Paola was so helpful with the check in process. We will definitely return!

Great apartment. Just as described in VRBO post. Host and Customer contact were wonderful to work with. A bit away from the major sites but easily accessible by taxi.
4.0
The property is secure and clean. 5 flights up in a 2 person elevator, no problem.
One room was fine the other had a broken shower door.
Oven was broken.
Property manager and assistant were awesome! Romula kept in contact on WhatsApp often and responded quickly. Area was nice with some good cafes and restaurants. Metro is 15-20 minute walk and then about 15 minutes to most of the good sites. Not the best area to just walk around and search streets for dining so get used to the metro or uber/taxi.
I loved it here but I might get something a bit closer to a metro station next time.
5.0
We loved the location of this property and would definitely stay here again. The property manager and owner met us to check in. Both were extremely responsive with assistance and anything we needed or any questions we had. Paola could not have been more accommodating and Romula was very fast to respond to my messages. We loved our stay!

the property is exactly as pictured and very clean. It was a perfect place for the two of us. I was able to spread out in one bedroom and Joe was able to spread out in the other bedroom. While we primarily ate out at various restaurants, we liked being able to cook our own breakfast and when too tired to go out, the kitchen was fully stocked so that we could cook our own meals. Loved having the ability to use the deck to eat or just sit and relax.

Friends venturing into Rome for the first time. Italians are so welcoming!

Long story short, I spent half the week with 4 kids and no husband including a series of unfortunate events. Scared, stress, and nervous, I relied on Paola and Romula as my lifeline. Romula offered to deal with my delayed luggage so I don’t have to wait all day for it. She also checked in on me daily. And recommended suggestions and resources when I gave her my day plans. Paola came back to do the government mandatory registration when my husband finally arrived. Thank you again for helping me resolved all the problems I had. You went the extra mile in helping me.
Apartment: just as pictured. Clean apartment. Nice balcony with view of St Peter’s basilica. Enough condiment to make a meal. Each suite has dining table and bathroom. Location 20-30 minutes bus ride to central area, with a bus stop right in front. Grocery store open late for your cooking need. A tabacchi store down the street if you need bus tickets that open early. I definitely recommend this apartment and the hosts.

Romula and Paula were very helpful. They shared with us a lot of information about the city. They also arranged our transfer from the airport to the apartment.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great with many 5-star restaurants nearby. We loved walking up to St. Peter’s Square at night to see the sunset. Bistro on the corner of the building was amazing and make us feel so welcome. I recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in Rome.

A great neighborhood with easy access by foot, bus or taxi to everything.
Spectacular views of the Basilica.
We were met by the owner and the manager upon arrival. They made great recommendations on where to go, how to get there and where to eat.
The owner was even there to say goodbye.
A GREAT stay.
Thank you.

Paola was an excellent host. She provided great recommendations for tours, dining and transportation. She arranged for airport transfers, which was perfect after 18 hours of travel. She greeted us at check in to show us around . The floor plan for the property was perfect and the view of St. Peter’s dome was great. Paola and her team were very responsive. One of her recommendations was the coffee shop next door to the rental. The owners of the “Little Bar” were welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this property.

Great location, great view, easy access to transportation, close to store. Little Bar cafe at the entrance to the building is a great way to start or end your day. Patio worked well for eating, family time and just relaxing. Owner and host are very helpful and available. ATM nearby for easy cash access. We used Free Now app for taxis and they will pick up right in front of the building or the bus top is also right in front of building. Apartment is exactly as advertised. Overall a great stay and highly recommend.

Paola was great to meet with us and get us settled in. There is an elevator which is very much needed! The apartment was very clean with lovely bedding and beautifully finished.
It is a great location if you don't mind walking a bit to the sites and the balcony is a lovely place to relax. We really appreciated the use of the washing machine as well.
Overall, a wonderful experience!

Fantastic apartment in the friendliest street in Rome! The apartment is spacious, with two good sized bedrooms, both with ensuite. Kitchen is well equipped and all rooms open onto the balcony that has views over to St Peter's Dome. The balcony became our living area, as we spent many nights on the balcony after returning from our sightseeing in Rome. The apartment is on a busy street, that boasts bars, restaurants, supermarket and pharmacy. The main bus route is just outside the door at that will take you into the main areas of Rome. The locals are friendly and are always willing to pass some time with you. Especially if you frequent 'The Little Bar' below the apartment. Communication from both Paola and Romula was excellent. Romula arranged a driver for us from and to the airport. Suggestions on where to eat and where to go were also provided and contact was even made during our stay asking if everything was ok. The hospitality was second to none and the little extras meant a lot. Due to a flight delay we were later in than expected. The water and beer in the fridge, were really appreciated. Hoping to return to Rome in the future and this will be my first choice of property. Thank you both Paola and Romula for a fantastic stay in such a great apartment.

This apartment is great if you want to be in with the locals. Very quiet and a short walk to major sites. Would definitely recommend the restaurant Hosteria Pizzafood was great and the service was entertaining.

This property is very clean and very functional! The view is amazing and the property owner and manager are very helpful. There is a grocery/convenience store on the first floor of the building that has everything you could need.

Fabulous stay in Rome
We have just stayed at the property for 4 nights. Everything was first class. The communication with Romula and the check in with Paola was brilliant. The apartment is only 5 minutes from San Pietro Station which was great for getting around.
Lovely balcony with a view of St Peter’s Cathedral and everything you could possibly need.
I probably won’t be back in Rome myself but would thoroughly recommend this apartment as “THE BEST” place to stay in Rome.

Beautiful 2 bedroom home overlooking the St Peters Basilica
Both Romula (she communicated) and Paola (the owner) were always very easy to reach. The apartment is a brand new 2 bedroom with en-suite full bathrooms. The bathrooms are nice sized but the shower trays are 3x3 feet enclosure which made it hard for me to comfortably move around:). Something to keep in mind if you are big girl like me. The kitchen though very tight in space is fully equipped with oven, microwave n dishwasher. Our hurdle in the kitchen was seating as the space can either accommodate one person cooking or seating for meals. The running veranda can be accessed from both the rooms n the kitchen however again it was a bit tight for our family of 4. But we loved the view every time we looked over to the Basilica. The location is convenient as there’s a bus stop right in front of the apartment, a pharmacy, cafes, local restaurant n supermarket. It made our stay very easy. However, to get to the tourist attractions we had to always rely on the bus schedules or call a taxi as it was way too hot for us to walk more than 30 minutes at a time.
We enjoyed our week long stay in Rome and hope to return some day again.

What a wonderful stay. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and inviting. Everything we could have asked for and more. Paola was charming and explained everything about the apartment and location. She stayed in constant contact with us making sure we had everything we needed and that we were happy with our stay. Would definitely stay there again when traveling back to Rome!

Roman holiday...
Very Clean and beautiful apartment. It had all the basics, and the beds were VERY Comfortable. The location is good. A short walk from the Vatican. Paola and Romula were very helpful and kind! They brought fresh towels halfway through our stay and helped us book a car to the airport. They were available for all questions! Plan on your evening glass of wine out on the balcony with the view of the Vatican Dome. Be sure to check out the "Little Bar" next door for a coffee or a Spritz! The grocery store, just outside the building, is convenient and has everything! The Osteria that you can see from the balcony is pretty good. We had delious food with great service. Rentals like this with Paola and Romula are the difference between a good trip and a great trip!
