Patti and Robbi’s apartment feels like an authentic 18th century Rome home, yet modern and stylish. It is bigger and better in reality compared to the pictures.
The location is a short walk to the Vatican and has also easy access to the Metro. The windows face the street which is great for taking in the daily rhythm of the city. It could get a bit noisy in the mornings if you have the windows open in the bedroom. The kitchen has all the setup to cook comfortably and there is a grocery store and a bakery just a block away.
The apartment is built for energy efficiency and the lower level is surprisingly cool even on a hot day. There is a master key fob for the electrical system which shuts it off when you are away, which could be a bit inconvenient if you’d like to charge devices or run the A/C when you’re away.
I was a bit surprised that the apartment charges the cleaning fee in cash upon arrival. It is actually less than at other apartments who typically include it as a line item in the reservation instead, so it’s all fair enough.
