    Had a difficult time having consistent hot water for our showers. Also will mention we did not see a sign for the stay, so it could be a little difficult to find this place. Luckily for us the owner was standing outside and able to let us in!

    Manage your expectations the room is quite small and the pictures are from when it was build ten years ago. It’s still similar but the washroom is a bit run down and the hostel is in the back of a building with no clear markings. A bit (quite) different from what’s shown in the pictures. The place is a bit run down

    Themed. Equipped. Near Vatican None

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    The location of the apartment is great: the Vatican, metro line, local market, supermarket, restaurants are really close. The apartment has a shared kitchen and a very nice balcony and terrace to use. We stayed 5 nights in one of the rooms and really enjoyed it, beds were comfortable. Great value for money. The host, Marcella is doing everything to make your stay pleasant, she is really helpful and responsive. Thanks for everything! The only thing we would mention is that water in the shower took a bit of long time to heat up and sometimes the water pressure was not too strong.

    Nice place for the price. Remember to book with breakfast!

    Cosy room with lovely balcony and terrace. Excellent location - short walk from supermarket and transport. Well-equipped kitchen. Attentive host who guided us through arrival process. Water to shower took an unusually long time to heat up. Shower floor tiling needs a bit of mould-killer, but everything else in the apartment was spotless.

    Welcoming and kind hostess, clean and comfortable room and kitchen, nice terrace snd balcony, safe location (even at night), very close to Vatican Museum, public transport within walking distance. Thank you very much, Marcella!

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    There was no written directions about the apartment, what restaurants or stores were close by or information on how to handle garbage, or host expectations.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Great location close to the Vatican and Castel Sant Angelo. Good restaurants near by and we felt like we were staying where the locals lived. Great having access to 2 terraces. No.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Very clean, easy to get to most attractions & great facilities. Marcella was helpful & a friendly host. It's was good that our room had a balcony & that there was an outdoor sitting area off the common kitchen & dining area.

    We stayed here for 1 night and loved the location and comfiness of the bed. It is so soft! There is a built in bathroom and balcony which was so nice to have! The room was spacious enough for the 2 of us. The location was within walking distance of everything, especially Vatican city and a lot of good eateries. Breakfast was wonderful as well. Our host had a nice selection of breakfast meats and drinks. For the value, this is a great find! It was a little hard to find the actual place because it is inside a gated building.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    Great room with view of the Basilica. The bed was comfy, private bathroom, small balcony and access to shared facilities including a kitchen and larger balcony.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    A great location for a base to do sightseeing, accessing a good range of restaurants and only 400m to the Metro. Beds were comfortable, a private bathroom and balcony and access to a shared living and larger balcony it was perfect. The apartment name is not visible from the street which meant we went past a few times before we rang the host.

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    Great location in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby; close to the subway/not far from the city centre Bright room with private bathroom and balcony Homelike atmosphere; cozy terrace Welcoming host Cleaning could be more frequent and precise Common kitchen with other guests - so sometimes we found our goods gone from the fridge.

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    It has a great location. The apartment had interesting interior and a great terrace. The host was nice and helpful. We didn't like we had to share the apartment with another couple. We understood it on the day of our arrival. Otherwise everything was great!

    Cleaning service missing, not even the garbage was taken for 4 days. The so-called breakfast consisted in old bread and

    The location was probably the best. When we got there we didn't know how to get in the building - did not receive any information on this at all. When I managed to get hold of the contact Marcella - we were told that the room was not ready for us - she had been let down by her person who "does" the rooms. So we found a restaurant on the same street and had a couple of refreshments. We had just come off a long flight from Toronto - and was the last thing we expected to not have a room ready. We were contacted again by Marcella only to be told that we were staying in a different hotel for one night and had to come back the following day to her building. to be quite honest the hotel we stayed in that night was really nice.It was inconvenient to have to then rush back from our preplanned tour of the Vatican to pack up and move to the hotel we should have been in.
