Vatican House Apartment

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Vatican House Apartment is praised for its convenient, walkable location near the Vatican and Roma S. Pietro station, and for Francesco's responsive, hands-on hosting that makes arrivals and trip logistics straightforward.

The studio layout is compact and basement level, so it can feel dark or a bit damp, and some guests found the sofa or loft beds less comfortable. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many were satisfied, but others reported mold in the shower, humidity odors, dust, and minor maintenance wear. Facilities are basic with a simple kitchen; a handful of guests mention limited cookware, occasional electrical trips while cooking, weak water pressure, or brief hot-water issues. Expect a simple, well-located base with very helpful hosting.

Francesco was extremely nice and it was very easy to meet up with him and get inside as soon as we landed. The place is small and it was a bit damp, but it met our needs perfectly for a short stay at the beginning of our trip. Beds were comfy and it had everything we needed. Thank you!

Just ok. Pros: -location - 20-25 min walk to Vatican - 8 min walk to trenitalia. - Close to grocery store and restaurants) -communication with Francesco was excellent Cons: -not a one bedroom, it’s just a room with two couch beds which are not very comfortable. -Not very clean. Moldy shower, ceiling, baseboard not attached to wall, amongst other things -Cheap and chipping frying pans. -One towel each ( this is a European thing, however, coming from a colder temperature country we sweat more and one towel each for 5 days is not adequate) -no hot water in the kitchen -boiling water will take you a very long time -one cutting knife which is very dull -poor water pressure in shower

Francesco was fantastic host - very responsive and assisted me with proper trains to take from airport to the apartment and from the apartment to the cruise terminal. My trip did not start out as planned - flight was cancelled US and rescheduled for next day. The property is very convenient to the Roma S. Pietro station. Non stop train from Roma S. Pietro to Civitecchia cruise port. short walking distance to St Peter's square and other tourist sites. good local coffee, gelato, restaurant options within walking distance. Apartment was clean and as described. Perfect location and private space for my brief stay in Rome.

Excellente communication avec L'hôte. Situation de l'hébergement est parfait. Beau quartier tranquille près de tout. Le gros point faible est que l'odeur d'humilité est intense dès qu'on ouvre la porte. Les serviettes de bain pas encore sèche après 24h. Il y a de la moisissure autour de la douche, la poignée de porte de l'appartement nous reste dans les mains de l'intérieur, le couvert de toilette était brisé... Et il n'y a qu'une petite fenêtre qui est grillagée de l'extérieur, donc aucune sortie d'urgence.

The apartment is really close to Vatican. We also walked to Trastevere and the city centre. So the location is perfect. Quiet neighbourhood. The host is very kind. The apartment is in the basement so it’s a little dark and it was not very clean, dusty (my boyfriend got allergies). The matras of the bed is really hard. It’s a nice place if you’re looking for a apartment close to the Vatican.

Die Lage der Wohnung ist einfach unschlagbar, 15 min zu Fuß zum Petersplatz, alles Wichtige ist im Umkreis von 10 Minuten Fußweg erreichbar. Die Kommunikation mit Francesco war total unkompliziert und sehr nett! Das einzige, was bei den Fotos nicht erkennbar ist, ist dass es sich um eine Souterrainwohnung handelt und daher etwas dunkel ist. Da man ja nicht in Rom ist, um die ganze Zeit in der Wohnung zu sein, ist das überhaupt nicht schlimm gewesen.

Wow! For my first time in Italy, I’m so grateful to have stumbled across this gem of a property. The location is perfect - it’s a stone’s throw from the Vatican and close to so many wonderful restaurants and transportation. The area is NOT busy and it’s extremely quiet. I loved being nestled in an authentic residential area in Rome; I felt very safe, too. The property owner contacted me very soon after my booking to set up communication, and he met us at the property to get us settled, which I really appreciated. One of the best parts is that although we were very close to some of the best parts of Rome, the area was much quieter and less busy than others. A fantastic stay - I hope to be back!

Wonderful property with walking distance to any of the main sites in Rome. Super convenient to the Vatican. Gray to have grocery stores literally around the block. Had many delays and Francisco was super accommodating to the many changes so that I could get checked-in to start my adventure. Perfect for a couple, or more.
