  : super location, feel very safe walking along the living area though it very close to tourists area. restaurants all around. and 2 nice food markets around if u would like to cook.
  : its in the highest floor, just a tiny lift up to next floor then you need to walk another stairs up to your floor. not suitable to walking difficulties.

  : Very good location if spending extended time at the Vatican. Less than a 10 minute walk with direct side access. Also very close to a main road with many shops and restaurants. Although we did not use it, there is also subway access nearby. The property is on the 5th floor. Keep in mind European apartments count the first floor as floor 0. There was an elevator (small but can fit 2 people or 1 person with a large luggage). You do need to walk up one flight of stairs but they are very wide and easy to walk up.
  : One of the beds I believe was a futon couch and you can feel a small gap in between. This bed was also a little stiff, but after a long day of walking the streets of Rome, it didnt affect my ability to fall asleep. Only one bathroom so for a group of 4, if was a little tricky to coordinate showers, but overall nothing major to complain about.

Disappointing

  : Location was a few minutes from the Line A subway and walking distance to the Vatican City. Having air conditioning was a big plus in the summer heat.The beds were extremely comfortable (we prefer firm mattresses) and rooms size was good.The apartment has decent furniture and you can tell someone used to live there and put a lot of effort into making it a nice place to live and with good taste.
  : The lift is for 2 people at a time and one more floor (top floor) you need to walk up. This won't be easy for everyone with baggage.The apartment you can tell used to be nice but it wasn't well managed or cleaned. The photos on booking.com look nice because of professional photography but when checking in it certainly didn't live up to the pictures.The unit had one bathroom which wasn't cleaned very well, and the drain of the shower was clogged meaning water rose up to your ankles when you showered. There was one roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 4 days, when we ran out and asked for more we were told to buy our own.Because the building is old if you run the laundry while the a/c is on it will trip the circuit breaker and kill power, so you need to turn off a/c while doing laundry.Despite paying a hefty cleaning fee part of the check out instructions are to empty the waste (downstairs, across the street, all separated Italian style). I don't understand why we need to take out the trash if we are paying cleaning fees. The welcome booklet explains the 4 trash categories but there is only one bin in the kitchen for trash, so you have to get plastic bags and make your own trash. The kitchen is not stocked at all (not even coffee, sugar or oil) and doesn't have paper towels or cleaning supplies.The balcony features nicely among the marketing photos but it's not cleaned regularly so it's not really a spot to hang out or use.We paid more than a 5 star hotel to have the convenience of an apartment but the value just wasn't there for what we paid for, we actually felt like we had significantly overpaid for what we got and it left a bad taste in our mouth. Next time we'll just do a hotel and know what we are getting.

  : It was a very nice place with a lot of soul. The balcony was really nice and the staff both friendly and helpful. The location was also fantastic, short to the metro, the Vatican and a lot of great restaurants close by
  : There were a few things that were missing like wine glasses and a coffee machine that we thought would be essential things for all Italian appartments

  : Appartement has a lot of charm an nice terrace. It is not a luxury appartment but certainly comfortable enough. Location is great for a few days in Rome. We loved it and felt at home
