Rome, close to the historic centre and to the Vatican, apartment for 8

The apartment was roomy, comfortable and clean, but there were a couple of problems.

One of the showers was barely working - didn't drain and the shower head was almost falling off its hose. More annoyingly, there was not enough toilet paper, no laundry detergent, and no paring/chopping knives in the kitchen. We emailed the renters but didn't get any response until they day we left becuase they were 'very busy'.

This 3-bedroom apartment worked very well for our two-family group (2 adults and 4 kids). The location is excellent: just a few blocks to the Vatican museum entrance and to the subway. There is a fun shopping street just one block away, as well as bakery’s and markets nearby. We drove to Rome, and there was paid, secure, indoor parking right across the street (under the market, 20€/day). The bed configuration was great. Both double beds were really each two twins, so we were able to sleep three kids in one room, in separate beds, just by separating one of the double beds. The dining table seated eight people, so there was plenty of room for comfortable breakfasts and dinners. The kitchen is small, and there’s no dishwasher, but there is a big fridge in the laundry room. There was enough in the way of plates/cups/cutlery (unlike some other places we’ve been). It was nice to have two full bathrooms, although perhaps the decor was a little dated. The apartment has a clothes washer, but don’t forget to bring your own detergent. There was a little street noise, but our group didn’t have a problem with it. The kids report that the WiFi was high speed and good quality (a ringing endorsement from 12, 13, and 15 year olds!) I would definitely recommend this apartment. One note: when the property managers say they will be there in 30minutes, expect more like an hour. But there’s plenty to explore in the neighborhood while one of your party waits at the building with the bags :)

Apartment location is 5 min from Vatican and also from risorgeomento where you can get great bus connections.

We were met by the host who explained everything and orientated us which all worked well, he was very friendly and helpful.

Beds were comfortable, lots of hot water and everything was very clean. Good shared space with large dining table to gather around although only sofa space for 3. We ended up only 4 people in the apartment - could have been a bit tight with the original 6 planned especially with 4 sharing the main bathroom. Ensuite bathroom is fine but very compact, the shower in the main bathroom is over the bath and has a tendency for the angle to slip down which is a bit frustrating.

The kitchen is small but works well, although perhaps could update some of the crockery and add a few teaspoons and drying cloths :). otherwise all good.

Generally, a great space, super location and great value.

The location is just perfect. It is very spacious and nice, with a home-like atmosphere inside. Very warm, clean and cozy. We were offered transfer from &to the airport in a private car: the driver was very punctual and nice.

Great location! Walking distance to many restaurants, shops and all of the attractions in Rome. Spacious flat, great for a family. Good wi-fi. Only had A/C in 2 of the bedrooms but not too bad. The bathrooms are tight and small but worked fine.
