Our family of 3 stayed in Desiree's apartment in May. What a wonderful experience we had while staying there! As it was our first family trip to Europe we were a little apprehensive about everything, but Desiree made things regarding our accommodations so easy.
Although we never met Desiree in person we were greeted at checkin by a very helpful and courteous gentleman that operated a nice restaurant just around the corner. He helped us with our bags, gave us our keys, showed us around the apartment, and answered questions we had about the local area. Careful if you have a lot of baggage as the elevator is quite small and will require several trips to get things up.
Upon entering the unit we were immediately struck by the beauty and cleanliness of the apartment. Very cute and well decorated. The unit was larger than I had expected and was packed full of essential amenities that helped to make our vacation enjoyable. Things such as shampoos, soaps, kitchen supplies, cell phone chargers, condiments of all types were provided so you are all set if you forget to bring anything on your trip.
All of the reviews that I read before booking the room regarding the patio area were right on. The patio is large, comfortable and has a beautiful view! We enjoyed a couple of late afternoon snacks and wine out on the patio area.
The WiFi connection was strong during our stay and had no problems with 3 WiFi users and Netflix running.
The room temperature was always comfortable and the bedding was also good. Although the shower area is a little tight we had plenty of hot water and all of the required towels and bathroom amenities.
The location was very close to the Vatican and we were able to walk to almost any tourist area that was of interest to us.
Our driver from the apartment to the airport was late and Desiree was kind enough to allow a little bit of a late checkout.
All in all, a terrific experience and I would definitely stay there again if we go back.
