Reviews

• Hilde from Netherlands (9/10)

  Amazing. Could see the St. Peter’s basilica out of the window. The beds were very comfortable. The room was much bigger than expected. There is an general kitchen with fridge and freezer. There were towels enough. Paying was easy through and various ways possible. The special way to enter (downloaded app) worked very good.

• Andres from Mexico (9/10)

  The location was great. Close to the vatican (San Pietro square) and close to a train station for intercity travel.
  
  Host was very nice and responsive, gave us everything we needed. The system to get inside is a bit tricky since you need an app and some specific steps but is actually very practical to have it. And then you get a separate key to the actual room.
  
  Like I mentioned in the bad section, there is a kitchen for all of the rooms in the apartment (there are like 4 rooms) which has a ton of nice and useful stuff.
  
  There was a pdf you could download in a QR code in the room that had a ton of useful tips and recommendations that we appreciated a lot.
  
  Overall very nice stay!

• Nicky from Netherlands (9/10)

  Amazing location, we did many things by foot!! The apartment was also really clean and Alejandra was really helpful with any questions. Highly recommend staying here for those wanting to spend most of their trip around the Vatican, the historical centre and the Trastevere neighbourhood

• Tetiana from Ukraine (9/10)

  we really liked it! very clean, great location, gorgeous view from the window. There is a coffee machine in the kitchen, in the morning we drank coffee on our terrace overlooking St. Peter's Cathedral. There is a supermarket nearby with a good selection of products. The Internet works well, we were able to work and hold meetings without any problems. We were very pleased!

• Crista from New Zealand (9/10)

  Lovely large room, comfy bed, amazing view. Very close to the Vatican. Really responsive and lovely staff.
  The bathroom was big and overall was very clean.

• Karen from United Arab Emirates (9/10)

  Location was excellent, the aesthetic was lovely!

• Ferry from New Zealand (9/10)

  Location is superb. You really feel like you are in the real Rome (not touristy), but it's still walking distance to the main attractions. Alessia was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and felt very safe. On Sunday, you hear not only the church bells, but the singing from the choir drifts up the street. Very atmospheric. My daughter said, 'can you hear angels?''

• Sebastian from Romania (9/10)

  Big, nice room, close to train station, very close market (carrefour express) and some restaurants. Amazing view of Basilica San Pietro from the very big terrace. Good coffee available in the shared kitchen. Only 5-10 min walk to Vatican.

• Odeta from Albania (9/10)

  The guesthouse was extremely comfortable and well-maintained, with everything spotlessly clean and organized. We felt at ease as soon as we arrived. The owner was very kind and thoughtful, always making sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel truly welcome during our stay.
  
  We also found the entry system to be very easy to use. The app was convenient and added to the overall smooth experience, making it simple to access the house whenever we needed. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it to others.
