I had a great 3 night stay at Giulivia's Guest House during December.
I had informed the host of my flight delay, and he reassured me check-in could be rearranged to a later time, which was very helpful. Upon arrival, Giulivia greeted me at the guest house and showed me around. Please note you will be charged an additional city-tax charge upon arrival (my charge was 10.5 Euros). I was able to pay this by card! Be reassured that this is the law!
The kitchen and communal living space was smart and stylist, but still retained some traditional Italian culture for a more authentic feel. There was a microwave and coffee maker for personal use, as well as a sink and bin. There was also a nice sofa area and seated dining area for meal times!
The bedroom and bathroom was spacious and also felt authentic. There was a radiator which could be temperature controlled at my disposal as well as air conditioning. I would suggest not leaving the window open at night if you become warm, the apartment is located by a very busy road which attracts a lot of noise at times, but when closed, you can be assured a quiet night's rest!
The television was perfect for me, I could access my Netflix account (although there was also a Netflix account available for use if you do not have your own, just be aware that programmes will be Italian but subtitles can be turned on). I could also access YouTube along with lots of television channels.
There was a kettle in the room for tea and instant coffee, the room also had free WiFi which had a relatively strong connection. The bed was very comfortable and clean, and there were power sockets located inside the night stands, to charge your electronic devices whilst in bed- which is great!
The bathroom was also spotlessly clean! It would be great if shampoo and body wash could be provided, since shampoo was stated in the amenities but this is only a small thing (I just can't travel with many liquids since I only fly with hand luggage). The shower was very easy to use, and the water pressure was perfect.
Overall, my experience was brilliant, and I received outstanding value for money with this property. It is only a 25 minute walk to the Vatican, or a 5 minute bus ride for 1.5 Euros if you don't want to walk. You can purchase your bus ticket at any local tobacconist/store, there are several up the street. If you are looking to go to Rome City Centre, the metro (which is a 5 minute walk up the hill) will take you to Termini Station via the A train in under 20 minutes!
I can highly recommend this property if you'd like a clean, safe space at a reasonable price that is local to Vatican City and the city centre! Thank you Giulivia!
