daily beds fresh towels convenient bus

the apartment was clean , which i appreciated. fresh towels arrived every day and the beds were made daily , a joy to return to. the location is only two minutes from a bus stop , the bus goes straight to the center and loops everywhere and only takes fifteen minutes.

the shower booth felt small to take a shower in , i think it could be a little larger.

Really good Experience Near the Vatican

helpful staff early luggage storage personable driver

The staff was helpful with directions and information. I appreciated that they stored our bags when we arrived early and delivered them to our room. Requesting transport to the airport was simple, and the driver arrived promptly and was personable.

The walls seemed a bit thin. Some noise from other guests was noticeable.

Dining

9/10

The kitchen included all necessary appliances for meal preparation. A large mall near the metro station offers ample options for groceries and restaurants. I found several dining choices within a short distance..

Service

10/10

Check-in was efficient with excellent instructions provided via messaging for after-hours arrival. The receptionist was responsive and helpful, made the entire process stress-free. I particularly valued the friendly advice provided for planning activities.

noise problem worn out mattress

the location was acceptable, a bus stop nearby offered easy access to the city center.

The room i got was not what i expected. It felt more like a hostel than an apartment. the noise was a problem because i could hear everything happening in the communal kitchen right next door, as if my door was open. also, the mattress and pillow were worn out. I could feel the springs and bits of foam in the pillow.
