Loved the place! The location was far enough way from the hustle and bustle so that it was fairly quiet but still close enough to the main areas that it was a quick uber or bus ride. Great communication! Beautiful views!

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The place was extremely clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location for exploring the city. One of our favorite parts was the amazing coffee shop right below the apartment — such a great way to start each morning.The apartment is within walking distance to the Vatican, which made sightseeing so easy and convenient. There was also an incredible gelato shop right across the street that we found ourselves visiting daily!We also loved experiencing the local restaurants nearby, especially Goose, which had some of the best pasta we had during our trip. The neighborhood felt lively, safe, and full of charm.Overall, this was the perfect home base for our stay, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

During our entire stay the host was very responsive to all of our questions, and was there to help us at any time. The transportation back and forth from the airport was seamless, and they knew what we needed to have a successful trip. The apartment was kept pristine, and was stocked with everything we needed from linens to kitchen supplies. It was in a perfect location. Only 10 minutes from Saint Peter’s and the Vatican, and also 25 minutes walking to central Rome. We loved staying here.

Paola and her partner Romula were very a delight to book with. They communicated quickly and easily and offered great suggestions for the area! The apartment location was great-easy to get to major sites. It was clean and very comfortable. Pillows were a little stiff for one person in our group-are only recommendation to make an awesome place more awesome would be to have a few different types of pillows available.

All the paintings are reproductions chosen by me that represent the Ancient Rome
