The red room is beyond livable. We were there for 1 week. the window opens up to your neighbors (no actual view) There was mold around the whole window as well. Bathroom was even worse with mold. Shower was almost black. Towels were never exchanged, we had to grab new ones ourselves. The room in general was not clean, the only thing clean was the sheets. Dust absolutely everywhere, the chair upholstery was falling apart. Don't be fooled by the breakfast. That consists of 2 croissants and thats it. The coffee machine was broken, so that was unusable. This could be an amazing place to stay in Rome, with just a little updating and cleanliness. We ended up resorting to staying out in town as long as we could and leave the room as early as possible. Be prepared to pay a CityTax that Emilia asks you after your stay, and sends you a Sumup or asks for cash to be left in the room. We really tried to like the place because of the location but unfortunately wont be coming back.

Great location and hosts
First time visitor to Rome (and Italy) before we set-off we set-up WhatsApp to communicate which was very helpful! Very convenient location. Just a few minutes walk from Vatican City, we took a taxi into Rome for €15. Emilia and Fabrizio were great hosts who met us there and were also available to message anytime. There is a shared kitchen well stocked with breakfast foods and a coffee machine but the chocolate breakfast croissants was unbelievable! They even allowed us keep our bags there while we visited the Vatican the next morning. Thanks again

A place that I would never choose to stay again!
Nice and quiet location is the only good thing about this apartment. Cleanliness was very poor. From the pics you can see the stains on the headboard. Also the couch was particularly dirty that you couldn't sit on. We stayed for three nights and they didn’t change the towels, not even once. Not a great choice unfortunately..

The room was clean, very functional, having free breakfast every morning was very convenient to start our morning definitely Recommend sotto la cupola five star

Great location
The location is perfect for sites in the center of Rome. It is an older building and the room is very small. Husband was a bit too tall for the bed, but the continental breakfast and service was great. Clean and very secure.

Wrong advertising
It was so small that you couldn't move around. The shower was even smaller to the point that you couldn't switch from side to side without hitting the door handles and it was supposed to be for 3 people, but had to find another place for the 3rd person because there was only 1 bed.

The owner was very helpful and placed fresh pastries, yogurt, juice and coffee every morning. The shower was just a trickle so hard to have a decent wash after our long flight. There was some confusion at check in with the previous renter, his stuff was still in the room when we got there, the room had been cleaned but it was a bit weird. He met us with the keys and removed his stuff but we felt odd.

A beautiful older apartment converted into three rooms with a separate bath in each and a shated kitchen. It was a little more of a cramped space than i expected but i was still thinking in North American standards. We didn't really spend a lot of time in our room anyway! Thanks to Amillia for making us feel so welcome! We recommend installing the Whatsup app before you go.

We became ill while in Rome and needed to stay an additional 4 days, Emilia was able to find a room ini the next unit for us, as well as change our airport drop off. Excellent Host , location & service. Each unit is special.Owner is on site & so very helpful. Don’t hesitate to stay here. You won’t be disappointed. We plan to stay with her again.

Good room and location
The room was beautiful and clean. I didn't realize guests share the kitchen with another room. We didn't eat there so we didn't mind. The room is on the 2nd/3rd floor and we have to haul our luggage all the way up because a lady didn't let us use the elevator. We did use the elevator later. Rome was very hot when we went so we put on the A/C which didn't help because the temperatures are preset and we couldn't change it. The building is located very near the Vatican and St. Peter's Square. Overall, it was a good experience.
