Fantastic location just down the street from Vatican City and close to a metro stop (too bad Rome’s metro is so limited- it’s much easier to navigate that way as opposed to the bus line)
Raffaele was a wonderful host - he will tell you his English is not great - but I found no issues 😁(you are better than you think!!!) Raffaele provided a map and description of the areas to see along with some restaurant suggestions. He helped us find overnight parking for our rental van as we arrived in Rome too late to return it that night (We had spent the previous few days in the countryside so we had a vehicle for that part of the trip —-don’t try to drive in Rome people!!! ) and while walking back he showed our friend the market - buying us a surprise of dozen fresh eggs 😀 (pretty sure my friend had commented on the lack of bacon and eggs being available in restaurants ...) during check in Raffaele showed us how to use the washer/dryer combo. (Know you can also set it up to JUST dry as the quick setting will still leave clothes damp even if it’s a tiny load - it assumes you will want to iron the clothes and leaves them damp on purpose) and other amenities. He also checked in with me during our stay to make sure all was going well and even arranged a super reasonable private van ( €60 ) to get the 5 of us and all our luggage out to the airport at the end of our stay..
the apartment was very nice - pictures are accurate. Beds were comfy and the whole place was clean. It is an old building so the modern elevator is tiny as they squeezed it in the circular stairwell but it is soooo much better than hauling your luggage or your tired legs up to the 5th floor - and is surprisingly quick so even needing to take a few trips is not a big deal.
Having the 2 full bathrooms is a plus and the towels were all a generous size.
As mentioned in some other reviews- it is located on a busy street- so if you are not used to road noise the front bedroom can be a little loud and bright - even with the shutters and windows closed - perhaps install heavier curtains there to baffle the noise further? The street always seemed to quiet down quite a bit after 11:00 pm though so it wasn’t too bad.
This is a great spacious place to use as a base for exploring Rome!
