Carlo made us feel VERY welcome. He was the only host to really take the time to go over all of the details of the apartment. The apartment is really nice and feels like a luxury hotel suite. He is very thoughtful in leaving little things like toast, jam, coffee, etc... This was one of our favorite places to stay among 8 total on our trip.

The apartment is very close to the Vatican. If I had any negatives, it would be that the location isn't quite as close to the other major attractions in Rome and there are other "hipper" neighborhoods but that wasn't a deterrent for us as we walked to most places with ease and there are cafes and restaurants very close by. The apartment is also close to the train tracks and I was concerned about the noise when we first arrived but it proved to be a non-issue. There is no washing machine either.

I highly recommend La Cupola Suite, it is fantastic!
