I’m going to reiterate an older review that convinced me to book this place - do not hesitate. This apartment is exactly as pictured and described. And Vincenza is the perfect host - she helped us with so many things before and during our trip - arranged driver to/from airport, an early morning taxi to train station before metro was open, finding train tickets to other cities, finding stores for essentials and answering our random questions. She went above and beyond to help us. Her penthouse apartment is perfect - safe with gated entrance to the building, lift/elevator to 7th floor, air conditioning, fully stocked kitchen with everything you need, large bathroom and the balcony is wonderful (it was very hot when we were there so didn’t use as much but it’s great). And the sleeping arrangements are great. The bedroom has separate AC unit and room darkening shades. The living room hide a bed has a great mattress - not a flimsy one. The chair also folds out but we didn’t use it. There is AC and room darkening shades in living room too. We did not use the tv but it was available and there is good wifi. There is also a washer, detergent, drying rack and iron if you need to do laundry.
The location is great as you are very close to Cipro metro station and easy walk to the Vatican. There are a lot of restaurants, bars, coffee, shops, gelato, markets, etc in the neighborhood - we honestly should’ve explored and spent more time near the apartment but we were on the go a lot and it was extremely hot (100F) while we were there.
This is one of the very best experiences and units we have ever rented and we use Airbnb/VRBO several times a year in the USA. If this unit is large enough for your group book it now - you will not regret it! I only hope it’s available when we make it back to Rome in the future!
