Very cute and cozy apartment. The location was very good. Two streets away from the Vatican, in a safe neighbourhood.
The person we kept in touch with was really helpful. He arranged for us transfer from and to the airport and helped us with an issue we had about the bathroom.Toshila from India (9/10)
A bit more cleaner floor and kitchen as the sink was stinking no matter how much we tried to clean it

Fantastic location really close to Basilica and Vaticani Musei. Near fantastic caffe, restaurants and places to enjoy. Our host made sure all questions are answered and prepared a guide that had all necessary details.
Sungwon from United Kingdom (10/10)
My arrival time was 23:00. The host warmly welcomed me. The conditions of the apartment were amazingly clean, and the location was very close to the Vatican and 5 minutes from the subway station, so it was very convenient. If anyone is looking for accommodation in Rome, I would recommend it.
