4 Days in Rome
The apartment was a good size for what we needed. The location was great. It was very handy St Peter’s Square and there were several restaurants and cafes within walking distance and a couple of shops nearby for groceries. The only negative was that the apartment had not been cleaned prior to our arrival but Federico, who met us at the apartment, was in contact with the cleaners right away. We had to vacate for an hour but when we came back the apartment was very clean. We would stay there again.

Could be better.
This unit was adequate with minimal to no amenities. Starting with the bathroom. There were just two towel sets for two people for 3 nights/4days. The bathroom shower had heavy mold along the shower floor perimeter, and ceiling also looks moldy. Insufficient soap or shampoo. No shower gel. Light over the sink does not work. In the bedrooms, one tv remote would not change channels-possible dead batteries. Second bedroom had no working television (no cable, remote will not even turn the tv on). Hand sanitizer in entryway completely empty. WiFi system will not support use of streaming on the one working TV in main room. It will also not support 2 cell phones sending photos. Power strip is fraying. Air conditioner did not have a remote to enable use in either the main room or bedroom. The kitchen did not even have 2 wine glasses. It was inadequately supplied. The refrigerator struggles to chill food. Overall, the unit is clean and mostly functional, but very tired looking. There are scuff marks all over the walls. A fresh coat of paint would really make a difference. A welcome basket of local information would also have been appreciated (local restaurants, ATMS, public transport info, suggested activities).

The place is in need of some tender loving care.
Location is perfect, the size of the condo is amazing and the manager super nice. That being said, the property needs maintenance. Many things were broken (lamp, door knobs, shower doors, bed in one of the room) , there's mold in the bathroom and paint is really du. We still enjoyed our stay but if you are picky not the best place to stay.

Great Pictures
When looking for a place to stay in Rome for a few days the pictures of this flat stood out from all of the rest in the range and accommodations that we needed. The property manager was very accommodating via the VRBO site, We paid for a extra night since our arrival in Rome was at 6AM. We wanted to get into the flat as soon as we could after the flight. We were given a number to text/call when we were on our way. Texted in route but got no response. Called and was initially told we could get in at 10am. I told the man this was unacceptable since we paid for the night. He reluctantly agreed and said he would be there at our arrival time of 8am. He ended up being 25 min late. Once in the flat we found the covering of all 4 chairs around the table ripped and abrasive to our clothing. The red couch was very stained and dirty. The flat it self was not the cleanest place either. A number of the electrical plugs did not work with our adapters.The ceiling in the bathroom had black markings all over it and I am not sure if this was mold or not. The shower head was in bad need of replacement. More water went out the side of the shower head than the normal holes of the head. The locking system on the main door was very archaic and didn't work well. The neighborhood was in fact near the Vatican but not the cleanest area in town. Very good coffee shop down the street though.

Comfortable stay with very convenient access
The location was perfect. Easy access to public transportation. Many restaurants and grocers within close walking distance. Just down the street from The Vatican. Overall home itself was great with all the amenities we needed. Some mold in the bathroom that was worrisome, but everything else was great.

Great location for Vatican City
Excellent apartment in great location. 5 min walk to St Peter’s Basilica. 2 mins from 62 and 64 bus to the centre and 5 mins to San Pietro rail station - easy to get back to the airport using the railway. The apartment was fine especially the bedrooms. 2 balconies to catch the sun and for fresh air. The bathroom was fine but the shower head needs replacing. Kitchen and main room of a good size. Some of the furniture looking a bit tired, but it didn’t matter. Amazing location and we felt like locals! Nice restaurants very close by. I would def come back to stay.

Doesn’t quite hit the mark
I’m very sad to say that this property really misses the mark on some very basic features. Even thought Saint Peter’s is literally a 400m walk and an abundance of restaurants and mini marts, this did not make up for the multitude of issues we encountered; the biggest being the lack of hot water. It constantly cut out seconds into showering and barely lasted 30 seconds after resetting the hot water system. We also couldn’t get it to run in the kitchen sink to wash dishes so had to fill up the sink with water boiled in the kettle. The bathroom cubicle is full of mould and the shower head barely runs and just trickles cold water. Basic pantry items were missing or just about out/empty eg; coffee, tea, salt, olive oil. We were only provided 1.5 rolls of toilet paper to last our group of 3 adults for 5 nights. The microwave also did not turn on at all. The place really needs an overhaul. Very disappointed with our experience given the amount of money we paid and would definitely not stay here again.

We arrived at your wonderful apartment at the end of our vacation, exhausted and ready for a rest! Thank you so much for the wonderful space!
We did use both bedrooms because the second night there was a party going on and we really needed to sleep! That fixed everything for us!
We found two very nice restaurants and loved the amazing selections!
Thank you so very much for the use of your wonderful apartment!

Good location. Space feels large and comfortable.
Our apartment was consistent with the listing on VRBO. It does have some wear-and-tear one might expect from a place housing frequent guests.
The high ceilings make the apartment feel larger and more airy. Location is ideal for anyone that wants to visit The Vatican, St. Peters Basilica, Vatican museums, and the Sistine Chapel. Crossing the Tiber River makes many places (e.g., Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Pantheon, etc.) accessible with a modest walk. Plus, the apartment is a short walk from the San Pietro train station.
There are lots of restaurants in the neighborhood. The apartment is in a relatively quiet neighborhood.
There are only two criticisms. First would be the shower. I have no doubt the apartment was clean; however, the shower has a considerable amount of discoloration around the shower pan making it appear questionable. Second would be the upstairs neighbors. Their arguing could be heard nearly every night. For anyone like us that is a sound sleeper, it’s not much of an issue. A light sleeper may have issues since the arguments are pretty loud.
Overall, we were very happy with this apartment in every way.

Would not use this property again
The bathroom had a strong urin Oder , and there was visible mold in the shower. The shower head would not stay in place and leaked water everywhere. The hot water did not work and when I addressed with the owner I was asked to perform my own maintenance on the hot water heater. Only one of the bedrooms had a working air conditioner.

Apartment was in a gd location, we found a lovely cafe that we got croissants for our breakfast. Apartment says hairdryer and iron avaliable but did not work and also light bulbs need replacing in lamps but other than that a great place to stay and would recommend it. The only negative thing i could say was the owner organised our transfers was told €55 but when got dropped off was told €65 but refused to pay this as was told in message €55. But to get transfer back paid the €65 but when i gave the taxi the €65 he said its €75 as owed €10 euro from the drop off to Apartment we told him no as that wasnt our fault we was told the wrong price so just watch if you ask for transfer.
