Loopy’s Castle was a pleasant home base for two people for a week stay in Rome. Renata herself is hospitable and went to great lengths to make us feel welcome and comfortable staying with her and her cute dog Loopy. She was accommodating and happy to advise on where to go and what to see and is a wealth of information. She’s friendly and likes to know our itinerary of the day and checks up on us frequently to make sure we’re comfortable.
The private room is a decent size, clean, and has an adorable balcony to look out into the Roman suburbia. The kitchen and bathroom are equally clean and well stocked with all the necessities a guest need. The apartment is close to the Vatican walls and within walking distance to a metro station. The other major sites in Rome would require public transportation to and from them, a 30-45 minute ride.
A supermarket and a couple of bars are around the block from the apartment, but closer to the Vatican are some cafes and restaurants if you choose to eat nearby.
