This was a great place to stay if you are also planning to visit the Pope on Wednesdays - walkable distance to the Vatican. You won’t have to wake up too early and travel far to fall in line for the Papal Audience.
I saw some complaints about the elevator being too small and it is, but Rome is a historical city full of old architecture and that includes the elevator. It adds charm and character to the whole experience.
Aside from the old elevator, everything else uses current technology even the Vikey check-in (controls the building and apartment door). Gabriele’s place has everything you may need for a comfortable stay (hi speed wifi, nespresso machine, washing machine, iron, kitchen, centralized heating, clean sheets and towels, among others.)
There were only 2 of us so we didn’t use the other room even though it was open. We got to hang in the kitchen balcony for coffee in the morning and evening. The apartment is spacious and does not feel cramped. My only gripe is the shower head as the water spray is inconsistent - some will go to your head, the wall, the shower glass. Overall, it was a great and wonderful stay at Gabriele’s - he is responsive on both Airbnb and his mobile
