We stayed at this fantastic condo during some of the hottest days in Rome and we were glad we did. The air conditioners were amazing and provided a nice quiet respite from the daytime heat. Comfortable beds and three bathrooms made it easy for our family to visit.
The location of the condo is excellent and is just a few blocks from the Vatican and the Castel Sant'Angelo. There is a café and a small quick store downstairs, and you are just a street over from the busy Borgo Pio with a wide variety of restaurants and gelato places.
We were a bit disappointed in the amenities of the kitchenette. There was no microwave, so had to rely on the stovetop and oven to cook/reheat food. A few of the gas burners on the stove wouldn’t light and only two were working consistently throughout the visit. The oven worked well, but there were really no baking pans or equipment, so we had to develop some workarounds with Pyrex bowls, etc. The addition of a microwave would alleviate many of these issues. No automatic dishwasher, but I didn’t mind washing dishes by hand.
A group before us had damaged the TV, and while there was a replacement TV, the owner had not yet had the opportunity to install cable (she offered while we were there, but we declined). However, we were able to use it for Netflix and similar programming which worked well. Also, strong wi-fi throughout the condo was very helpful for both the Netflix on TV and our personal devices.
Additionally, the previous group had damaged the plastic shutters for the washing machine and one of the showers, meaning we couldn’t use that shower without splattering water all over the floor. The owner mentioned that this was set to be repaired, so hopefully it won’t affect your stay.
We reported a small issue to the owner, and she responded quickly, coming over about ten minutes later to help resolve it. We were very happy with her responsiveness.
It was unfortunate that previous occupants did not take care of this wonderful condo like their own, but it seems that the owner was already addressing those issues. Given that, we really enjoyed staying here and would definitely stay here again on a future visit.
