Gianluca greeted us right on time for our check in and gave us a quick orientation. He was very friendly, and gave us some quick directions for restaurants and left his number if we needed help with anything. The apartment is small, and the bathroom is a little tight, but we stayed there with four people and didn’t have any issues. (As a side note: Emmhouse had the best showerhead we had of the four places we stayed in Italy!). Two slept on the pullout bed, and two slept in the lofted upstairs cave. When you leave every day, you’ll walk out the front door, up a staircase to the entrance gate and face the looming Vatican wall. At night, it’s kind of spooky (in a fun way). It’s a very short walk to the entrance of the Vatican Museum, and a longer walk around the wall to St. Peter’s. We spent the first half of our trip in Trastevere, so the nightlife around Via Vaticano felt lacking in comparison. But if you’re looking for a quiet, modern, clean, and cozy place a little removed from Rome's bustle and noise, choose Emmhouse.
