The location was perfect. We were able to easily walk to restaurants and the subway. The apartment was very clean and a great place to stay for a family. It was a little noisy at night from traffic , but still an excellent place to stay.

The bedrooms were big and the beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed and the air conditioners in each room was so helpful in the Rome summer heat. Alessandro was super flexible and great to communicate with - would definitely book again.

We stayed here as a family of 5 to stay out of the chaos of the center of Rome, but a close enough to enjoy both Rome and Vatican City. It was excellent! Clean and well kept. The host was so helpful and accommodating. Even making us a reservation for dinner after we got settled. Well stocked with amenities. The apartment was also easy to keep cool with the rolling shades which was perfect to beat the heat.

Alessandro is a good host! He was patient waiting for us since we were late due to a delayed flight and Google Maps took us to the wrong location, even though we went off the location in the VRBO listing. He explained everything well, knowing just enough English to get us to understand. The apartment is clean and in a very central location, you can see part of the Vatican from the window. Parking is difficult in the area but he recommended a garage 5 minutes away that served us well. My suggestion is to ask him for the exact address, since Maps sent us a different direction

Great location - walking distance to Vatican and metro. Nice eateries and a mini mart close by. A bit noisy at night due to a bus stop across the street but the building is secure. My lower scores are a result of miscommunication with the host. Make sure you have his What’s App number before you arrive and use Google translate.

Very clean and comfortable apartment. Updated kitchen and bathroom. Air conditioning such a relief during the July 2026 heatwave. Close to metro. Easy to get around Rome using the metro. You can be at the Coliseum in 25 minutes and Trevi Fountain / Spanish Steps in less than 15 minutes. Lots of excellent restaurants right in the neighborhood. Lots of cafe shops. Walk to Vatican Museum in 5 minutes; St. Peter’s Square in less than 10 minutes. Check-in process was very smooth and quick. Host was very kind and helpful providing us with information about the metro and making suggestions of where to eat. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and we would definitely stay here again.

Nice apartment near Vatican City

We spent two nights in Rome. This is my 2nd time staying at this house. We love the place for its convenient location to Vatican and other nearby attractions in Rome. The place is spacious, clean and well maintained. It works very well for us. The host is friendly and accommodating.
