Marco is a lovely host. He met us to show us around and explained the keys. The place was clean and the location was convenient to get around. The kitchen was perfect for my husband and I. We loved having access to the garden and that amazing lemon tree! Thank you Marco!

Marco was a great host, helpful & kind, available for us. Great with directions and restaurant recommendations. Answered emails & texts quickly. The building is a bit hidden/tricky to find. You go down the driveway beside the next address & this building is to the left, at the end. A bit of a surprise that the apartment was in the basement of the building, dingy/dark at the apartment door, but the apartment itself is very clean, quiet, bright corner apartment. A bit sparse, but modern furniture & appliances. Marco mentions in his description that there are LOTS of stairs. I can confirm. Not the best choice if you lug big/heavy suitcases. Highlight: Lovely large, private wrap-around patio with a lemon tree! & lots of seating. The building is up on a hill, so it is actually quite high up off the road behind (see photo of view). Once you’re in, it doesn’t feel like a basement. Bed is firm but comfortable. One of the legs on the bed was broken before we arrived and bed collapsed on us (hence my not-perfect rating). (I’m sure that Marco will have fixed it for the next guest) There is a kitchen with a table & 2 chairs, bedroom & bathroom, but there is no actual sitting area with a couch, which would have been nice after a day of walking around Rome. Fabulous location, really close to the Vatican. Several restaurants nearby, 10-15 minute walk. Several close bus connections. Roma San Pietro train station is a 10 minute walk downhill. Thanks, Marco!

After 28 hours travel time we hsd 4 hours before our entry time. He kindly drove to the apartment to let us in early.Beautiful garden with a variety of fruit trees. A 5 min walk to get to restaurants and coffeeshop. And we never did find a grocery store. Apartment was fine, on a quiet street. We had a pleasant stay.

Marco was fabulous and gave me a walk through on check in and let me know he was available whenever for questions. The place was nice and much nicer than my friends hotel for 3 people! The garden patio was amazing with fruit trees and places to sit. A great place to sip some wine and relax after running all over Rome. Great location, a very quick walk to the Vatican. I enjoyed my stay very much!

Apartment had everything we needed, except wine glasses. Marco was a great host, even called for our taxi on our last day. The balcony was so nice, we sat out there every day. The place is a little hard to find. Be prepared to walk up & then down steps with your luggage. To get to the main road, there are 72 steps to go up/ down. Bus stops very close by. Lots of restaurants and mini markets. 15 minute walk to the Vatican. This place even came with free Netflix in the bedroom. Bathroom was a little old but clean.

Host Marco was easy to communicate with, and very helpful. Location is great for both the Vatican and Rome. Easy access to local trains and buses for Rome but we liked to walk to the Vatican and Rome. Easy to get to and from Rome Termini using the local train service, a five minute easy walk to St Pietro station. Short walk to shops and local restaurants.

Wonderful location and amenities

Absolutely wonderful location. We did our Jubil’e Year pilgrimage and found the location ideal for our commute to the 4 basilicas. Uber was easy to use. Although the stairs or the passeggiata took us by surprise at first, they turned out to be easy to navigate. We also opted to take the ramp that lead into the street which took longer but was well lit being immediately outside the walls of the Vatican. The home is charming and more than adequate for our stay. We used the washer and the kitchenette. The air conditioning was a life saver for the hot days although those same days were great for when we line dried out clothes. I could not figure out the hairdryer which was available in the bathroom. Toiletries are not included but a Carrefour and other markets are easily accessible on foot.Marco is an attentive host. Thank you for the attention and quick responses, Marco. God bless you!

Five day stay

Nice apartment for a city visit. Marco promptly met us when we arrived by cab from the airport. The apartment was more than adequate for our stay. What makes it especially nice is the patio with shade provided by trees! There was plenty of hot wayer for showers and the washer was especially great to have; there were lines to hang our clothes. The kitchen was well stocked for the stay.The neighborhood was quiet and we felt comfortable walking in the evening.Marco was a great host and was responsive to all our needs.Be aware that the apartment is at an elevation over the main neaby street. The walk to restaurants, bus stops, shops involves climbing very old long outside stairs, a long block from the apartment. At the bottom of the stairs was a bus stop.The metro is a 20 minute walk in the opposite direction but mostly on a flat bike path.The Vatican is very near but there are no entrances as a short cut. Still a 20 minute walk.As long as you're prepared for a bit of a walking workout, the apartment is a winner!
Lemons from tree on patio!

The place was cute and very clean and just as advertised. It’s at a wonderful location, exactly as advertised behind the Vatican walls and quite quiet. Marco the host, made it even more perfect. He was the most attentive and available host ever! I cannot recommend this sweetplace enough.
