This apartment has several strengths. The location is simply ideal. It’s just a few blocks from Saint Peter’s and the Vatican, and about five blocks from a metro stop; buses and street cars are even closer. There’s a grocery store that has everything you could need about three blocks away.
Sabina’s daughter, Frederica , met us for the check-in. She was extremely kind and helpful, and fetched an American style coffee machine at our request. These hosts are truly committed to their guests’ comfort.
The apartment is nicely decorated, and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is outfitted with everything one might need for basic cooking. As other reviews mentioned, there is a strip of glass that runs through the floor of the upstairs room, which acts as a skylight for the downstairs bedrooms. It would bother people who need a dark room to sleep, but we just put a blanket over it at night and that blocked the light for us very effectively.
The only drawback I could mention is for taller travelers: the roof in the living room is sloping, and has large beams sticking out. If you are a taller person, it’s difficult to avoid hitting your head when you go to sit on the sofa, which is on the side of the room that has a lower ceiling.
