Close to the Vatican, amazing restaurants nearby
Christine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great communication, suggestions, and overall ease! This location had a small elevator that fit 2 people with a bag each. There are a few stairs from the street entrance to the location of the elevator. The bed was very comfortable!

Ivan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place! It was quiet and clean! The owner was very friendly and helpful. It’s conveniently located near the Vatican. The taxi stand was just across the street. There are numerous restaurants and bars (coffee shops) within a five minute walk.
Beth, 13-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location. Cumbersome check-in, basic room, misleading and missing information on the booking site (e.g. no mention of “late” check-in and luggage storage fees at time of booking)… If you check-in after 9:00 p.m., you are charged €15; if you arrive after 10:30 p.m., you pay an extra €25. It is unlikely that I will not return to this property.

Nice place to stay in Rome

Very nice host. The location is very walkable to the Vatican City and there is a bus stop right across the street that goes to city center of Rome. The building is a bit old but the rooms are cleaned everyday.

Rita, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was fine, but I didn't know what AirB&B was. I thought it was a hotel. I was traveling and didn't have internet... I thought I might arrive late, I had already paid for the night... but nobody opened the door for me... the building was closed. I couldn't communicate.

Good location but room very outdated. There was no staff on site. IT looked like one big room divided in 4 bedrooms.

Paola was very responsive and helpful! Communication was mostly through WhatsApp. Room was a good place to stay a day before my cruise.

Walking distance to Vatican. Pauola is very nice. Breakfast was a coffee machine and tea bags.
Charles, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Paola has done a WONDERFUL job of capturing my goal of making our stay as close as possible to “being a local”without skimping on the luxuries of a quality hotel!. We could stay there for weeks on end if only we didn’t have to return to reality. Six out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had never seen the staff during our stay.
Tieman, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our host Paola was wonderful. I loved the charm and cleanliness of our apartment and Paola was available for anything we needed. Bust stop and other shopping available right in the neighborhood with Vatican City 2 blocks away. We thoroughtly enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate to use the Pope's Window for our next trip to Rome.
Michael Joe, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Everything was broken, from the shower door to the door knob to the refrigerator. The only good thing about this property is the location.
Richa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to visit the Vatican, just 5 minutes walk. Paola the hostess was really helpful responding all our questions and concerns. The place was clean and spacious. My only suggestion is about the breakfast .. It is not breakfast bit a really good coffee. I will be back for sure. Paola makes the difference.
OSVALDO, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

a nice, quirky place. It's a few rooms in a bigger apartment building. Ours had cool directions. The bathroom was nice, and even had a blue light for nights. The area good--literally steps from the Vatican, and close to restaurants and markets. It's also close to a bus line to tourist sites but we didn't use that. The host mostly communicated via Whatsapp, but that worked well and we met her when she came by to clean the rooms.
