Zeynep from Turkey (10/10)
First of all, I would like to thank Francesca for her hospitality, assistance, and recommendations about places in the city of Rome and around the apartment. Her communication was excellent as well. Although we didn’t use the service, they offered airport transfers for a fee, which was an added bonus.
Regarding the apartment, the location is excellent. It is very close to the Cipro metro station on Line A, only a 4-5 minute walk away. The neighborhood is quiet. There are nice markets, pharmacies, restaurants, and cafes/bars around. The apartment was spacious and clean. There are two balconies, but we couldn’t use the front one because there was construction in the building during our stay. The bedroom has a large wardrobe, dresser, etc. You can store all your belongings in there. The building was peaceful, and we didn’t experience any noise or other disturbances. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, stove, and microwave. However, it could benefit from updating some of the kitchen utensils, as the pans were scratched, and the kettle was very calcified.
Overall, we were happy with our trip and stay. Once again, thank you.Oleg from Israel (10/10)

Petro from United States (10/10)
Very nice apartment. Great location spacious bright rooms, two balconies,a nice kitchen equipped with everything you need. Especially wanted to mark Ms. Francesca for a warm pleasant meeting. She introduced me to the apartment and gave useful tips on the best locations in the city and transport junctions. I recommend this apartment for everyone.
Atty from Philippines (9/10)
We decided to stay at the Vatican in the Moonlight Apartment during our trip to Rome, and it was a fantastic choice. The location couldn't have been better, as it's just a stone's throw away from St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Museum, and conveniently close to the Cipro train station.
The rate was incredibly reasonable, especially considering I was traveling with my family of four. The apartment itself was spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Francesca, our host, was incredibly thoughtful and made sure to communicate with us regularly before, during, and even as we were leaving.
Her efforts to communicate and anticipate our needs, especially as newcomers to the country traveling with kids, were truly invaluable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.Mckeown from United Kingdom (9/10)
Location was ideal, the host was so helpful and gave us tips which were fantastic.
