Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property policy prohibits pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Limited to one bedroom — With a single king-size bed, the apartment likely suits couples or small groups; larger families may find space tight.
  • Varied guest experiences — While most reviews are positive, a few lower ratings (6.2, 6.8) suggest that some guests found aspects less than perfect, though specific complaints aren't detailed in the supplied reviews.
  • Check-out at 10:00 — The check-out time is relatively early, which may require an early start on departure day.

The washing machine was a lifesaver, and the air conditioning kept us cool during hot Roman days. The private bathroom with a shower was clean and convenient—we felt right at home.”
