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.

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.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

I had a wonderful stay at The Pope's Window. Close to the Vatican, food, and a shopping mall. I was alone and felt extremely safe walking around the area at night. Paola was an excellent host. There was a wifi connection problem but she was very accommodating and took the time to give me directions on how to get around. I took the bus to the square to see the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain. It was super convenient. The room was super clean and I had access to a TV and air-conditioning. Paolo recommended a great restaurant Cresi for breakfast. I had such a good time that I hope to visit again!
