We loved this place-so full of character. We were only here for 1night. We enjoyed the piano, a game of checkers and some darts! It was very clean and had plenty of space to relax. And the ristorante next door was the best!
Luisa's apartment was perfect for our stay. Close to St. Peter's, a six minute walk to the subway, shopping and restaurants within two blocks of the restaurant. Luisa is a very responsive host; she replied to our messages right away and had terrific information about the neighborhood and things to do in Rome.
Logement fonctionnel, très bien équipé, très propre, idéalement situé près du Vatican (moins de 10 minutes à pieds). Nous ne pouvons que remercier Luisa pour son accueil et sa gentillesse.
