We had a wonderful trip to Rome. Claudia’s place was great for us, a family group of 7. There are 4 bedrooms so we each had our own space as a couple, and my 14 year old son had his own room. Sleeping 14 would be a squash as all other beds are extra bedsofas in those bedrooms or in the kitchen/diner.
The space worked for us as we mainly just wanted somewhere to sleep so only had coffee and breakfast indoors, but there is no lounge or comfortable sitting place for a group, just the kitchen table which seats 6 well or extends, but the wide legs prevent anyone more sitting close, so we had two on the end. Bigger groups may struggle, despite the correct number of chairs.
Bathrooms are dated and need a bit of tlc (loose toilet seats), but bedrooms were all a good size and clean and comfortable and hangers in the wardrobes. The place feels very safe and secure.
St Peter’s is a 15 minute walk, metro station 20 minutes away, several great restaurants nearby and a 24/7 mini market opposite, which is handy.
Communication was excellent and the airport transfers and luggage storage on our last day were much appreciated and good value extras.
Definitely worth considering if you’re a big group not planning on eating in.
