the location couldn’t be more perfect! only steps away from St. Peter’s Basilica. Right off the Borgo Pio. our host was extremely accommodating and quick to respond. we couldn’t figure out how to use the washer and she sent her husband over to show us. She also had the apartment cleaned after one week which was nice. There is a dry cleaner right across the street and a hairdresser two doors down. A very nice grocery store called Pam a short walk away which had everything we needed.

The location worked well. It was very close to restaurants and St Peter’s Square. It was clean, the WiFi worked, and the air conditioning was nice. The host also arranged our transfer to the airport and was very responsive to all of our questions.

The streets nearby have plenty of restaurants, cafes, and small shops - however, the apartment is situated around the corner of the main streets, so the noise isn't a disturbance at night (what you would expect from a capital city). The apartment itself even has ancient wall features which make it quite unique and authentic. In addition to this, the apartment comes with a free-of-charge coffee machine.

The location is amazing. It’s in the Borgo, just outside the wall, a couple blocks from St Peter’s. There are loads of shops and restaurants around the corner, but it’s on a relatively quiet side street. Our two kids slept on the pull out couch, and found it comfortable, and sufficiently large.

The location is amazing. It’s in the Borgo, just outside the wall, a couple blocks from St Peter’s. There are loads of shops and restaurants around the corner, but it’s on a relatively quiet side street. Our two kids slept on the pull out couch, and found it comfortable, and sufficiently large. The apartment has a ton of character, with an exposed timber ceiling on one side and a stone ceiling on the other. In the pictures, it looked like the wall for the master bedroom doesn’t go all the way to the ceiling, but there is glass, so it does. It has a little kitchen which was well stocked with salt, pepper, oil, sugar, tea, coffee, a kettle, a moka pot, lots of pots and pans, paper towels, etc. It has a very nice bathroom. One of Rome’s drinking fountains is at the end of the street, which we used for making coffee and tea, as it tasted much better than Rome’s tap water. We arrived in the early morning, so rented the night before too so that we could get some sleep before exploring Rome. We were given a code to let ourselves in, so this worked out well. The host was very responsive to communications.
