We stayed at Scalinate Vaticane for 10 days with two little children (3.5 and 1.5) and had a great experience! The apartment is in the middle of everything and yet it makes you feel like a true local. There are two supermarkets located a two-minute walk away and plenty of delicious restaurants/coffee shops near by.
The house itself is spacious and very comfortable with a huge TV and fully-equipped kitchen. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a variety of snacks and juices, which was a really nice touch. Bonus-point: the apartment has a washing machine! This was such a life-savior with two little boys.
Last but not least: Gilberto/Simona are amazing hosts! They were extremely accommodating with our check-in/check-out times and they often checked on us to make sure everything was fine with our stay.
We come to Rome fairly often and we plan to stay at Scalinate Vaticane again!
