The location of the apt was very good. The Vatican was 5 mins away, bus stops to travel around the city were very close and some good restaurants were right outside as well as the train being within walking distance. The apt itself was adequate and clean and plenty of sleeping space for a bigger group. The kitchen was not very well stocked but other than that it served its purpose.

We are 10 people in our group, the apartment was 3 bedrooms and small shower area. They put 4 of us in one room and 3 people in another 2 bedrooms. Which is very tiny area. The 4 people room, we barely walk in the room due to 4 big suitcases. Pro: - great location , near Vatican City - best restaurant across from apartment - near by supermarket - easy to check-in and out - fast contact with the management Con: - not easy to open the main door to the apartment - small kitchen and room. Some of the room doesn’t have enough lighting - only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom - old building and not so good looking clean Overall , we are ok with it. Because we do not want to ruin our vacation.

The location was great and that's all I can say about this place. 5-minute walk to the Vatican with restaurants all around. Pictures on VRBO are either very old or very well staged but definitely deceiving. Furniture is old and unstable. It looked like it was bought at a flea-market. The living room, I don't know why she called it so, had one big old table with chairs but no couch to sit on. The only way to relax after a long walk was to lay on the beds. That's the good part. Now for the bad part: The bathroom showers were filled with mildew and smelled of sewage. When flushing the toilet in one of bathrooms, the sink is the kitchen gurgled and smelled of sewage as well. Great incentive to stay home and cook a meal.... The tea kettle had so much calcium deposit that it filled the entire spout. I wish there was an option to upload pictures as it would back-up my post, but unfortunately there isn't. This was our fourth and last stop in Italy, all other places we stayed at, Sperlonga, Naples and Positano were all amazing and breath-taking. Unfortunately, this was NOT!

This place is steps away from St.Peter’s however to get to our Vatican tour google maps said it was a 20minute uphill walk. As we had 2 80+ year olds we chose an Uber (€40). To get to meeting place for a golf cart tour was (€55), to Colosseum(€50), to train station (€55). And it was €80 from the airport. Some were arranged by property manager and others on Uber app. To get to these places did not look walkable to us from place. We were allowed to drop our bags off early. There’s no living room/couches. We had our own shampoo, and had to buy extra toilet paper as the half roll in each bathroom (perhaps oversight?)weren’t enough for 4 people x 3 nights. There was one towel per person so we had to buy laundry detergent in order to have clean towels. It was super hot while in Rome so needed to shower each day because of sweating so much. I asked about a coffee maker and was told there’s a moka (googled it but seems like too much work/time for just one cup of espresso at a time)..would have been nice to brew a pot. We ate at several of the restaurants nearby - breakfast and dinners were good. The worst part of this place was the street noise each morning. The horns honking were terrible starting around 630am..not the alarm we were wanting to wake to on vacation. Sara the manager communicated well and was quick to respond to any questions.

The location is excellent, but the issues began with the agent immediately after booking. She demanded additional funds above the amount the app charged my credit card. She said I was over filling the apartment by having six people in my party even though the listing said it slept 8. She demanded an extra fee and a special “Rome tax” it in cash upon arrival. For five months she refused to update the contact online so we could pay by credit card. This made my entire group weary of weather we would be let into the space. It felt like a shake down. We booked the apartment the night before we arrived so we could walk in at 7 am after our flight arrived. The agent that met us was a man, and demanded the cash. He wanted our passports but we refused to hand them over. He left seemingly happy with the cash. On our last day our taxi was at noon. The cleaning lady started at 11 as expected but she was unaware of our pre-existing offer to leave the bags in the hall of the apartment while we waited at the cafe. When we returned at 11:30 she forced us out even though I was trying to contact the agent. My husband then waited in the lobby of the building with the bags as there is no sidewalk in front of the building to wait for the taxi. Only the entryway for the restaurant on the first floor. The cleaning lady called a service to have us removed from the lobby 15 minutes before our taxi arrived. They threatened to call the police for us harassing the cleaning lady.

This was the perfect spot for our stay. Great location for what we were looking for. The team was very helpful with all the transfers to and from. Would definitely recommend!

This was a great location for the Vatican and other cites nearby. There was plenty of room for our large family. Easy access to transportation. I’d recommend more toilet paper and to have paper towels to host 7 people. These were easy enough to find at local stores only a minute walk away from the apartment.

You can roll out of bed and be in Vatican City in about three minutes. Walking distance to the Pantheon and Trevi fountain, and a short taxi ride to the Coliseum. Upon arrival a host was waiting at the door, thankfully, because it could be a little tricky to find the first time. Restaurants and bars within 5 yards of the front door. It was clean and convenient. Would definitely stay their again.
