Reviews

  • Danka from Slovakia (10/10)

    Location si perfect, really close to Vatican, the apartment was really clean, ready for sleep, it even had a coffee. It has balcony. We travelled with a baby and the stroller did not make it to the lift, we had to take it apart, because the lift is very thin, but it was not a problem. Communication with owner Daniel was great and he responded quickly, he even let us let the baggage in the hall after check out. Thank you Daniel

    The location of the property is great, near Vatican. It was clean, bright and very cozy. Lots of shops and restaurants around. Nearby is a metro station.

  • Jelena from Croatia (9/10)

    Great location right next to the metro station and 10 min away from the Vatican by foot. Restaurants and grocery shops nearby. The apartment is clean and suprisingly big. Check in was easy.

  • Ashley from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great location, clean and tidy apartment. The management sorted a small issue promptly and effectively.

  • Jeehoon from South Korea (9/10)

    I think it is the best location close to Vatican City. Restaurants, McDonald's, and supermarkets are nearby, and the subway station is 5 minutes away. There are a lot of shops around, but it's nice because it's not noisy and it's not a particularly dangerous location. The room condition was good and clean. Since it was a self-check-in system, I was able to check in comfortably.
