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!

A lovely apartment with a great host
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.

Court séjour à 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.
