My husband and I first stayed in this apartment in September 2018 when we visited Rome with his parents. We loved it so much, we booked it again for our vacation in August 2021 even though it was just the two of us.
This apartment is so nice! It's very clean, comfortable, and had everything we could have needed for our stay, including air conditioning (it was so hot during our trip!) and a washing machine, which helped us to pack lighter. It's been beautifully updated and maintained. We especially loved the beautiful showers and the comfortable furniture. The apartment was impeccably clean when we arrived, and the building itself was also very clean (we saw staff nearly every day cleaning windows, doors, and floors of common spaces) and quiet. The building is access-controlled and we felt very safe during our stay.
The surrounding neighborhood is residential (small tourism footprint) and during our stay, many (but not all) shops and restaurants were closed as their owners were on vacation. There is a pharmacy and a grocery store you can walk to in less than 10 minutes. We made daily visits to La Siciliana and also dined at Trattoria da Zacca (aka Sora Gina; highly recommended!) twice.
We enjoy staying in a neighborhood that is more residential than touristy, and this apartment was perfect. The Vatican is a 10-15 minute walk away, and it's easy to get to many other places by Uber or taxi. The apartment/neighborhood is a convenient location for Uber/taxi pickup and drop-off, as it's not as hectic as busy tourist areas and there is a lot more parking available.
Finally, Vania has been an exceptional hostess and it has been such a pleasure working with her again on our stay. In 2018 and for our recent trip, she kindly arranged rides to the airport which saved us a lot of money on taxi fees and gave us peace of mind that we didn't have to wait around for a car early in the morning. There is also plenty of literature in the apartment about how everything works, local guides, etc. Vania was on holiday when we arrived, but she arranged for a friend to meet us in person which we appreciated.
Thank you again, Vania, and we hope to return to this lovely apartment again on our next visit to Rome!
