Fabrizio's Rooms

The location of the apartment was perfect for us, so close to many of Rome's sights that we wanted to see in our short time. Also close to lots of restaurants and an amazing patisserie right across the road. Very quiet at night - great for sleeping!Fabrizio awesome to deal with, a super responsive host and went above and beyond to help.

He was very accommodating.

The location was fantastic as I was only 15 minutes walking distance from the Vatican and St Peter's Cathedral. Also closer were plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and tourist shops. The room was similar to a hotel room with facilities, such as an ensuite bathroom, a fridge and a kettle with a wide assortment of tea bags. I loved the fake fireplace, which heated the room well on cold days. I was provided with access to clean towels every day, even if it was a public holiday. It was also great to have my travelling clothes professionally cleaned.

My only concern when I arrived, was that I had not received information about unlocking the main front door, which level to go to and what the password was to enter the door. I recommend advising travellers of this information at least a few days to a week in advance via email, as at times there can be limited access to emails and text messages whist travelling on airplanes.

The owner was nice and the location was great in the Prati neighborhood. Great gelato 2 blocks away and many other sites easily within walking distance. The religious artwork was also to our liking which was one of the reasons for picking the place.

The air conditioning. Many reviews cited this as well. He said it was "fine in the other rooms", but we were very uncomfortable. We slept on top of our covers as close as we could get to the 2 fans that were given to us, but that still wasn't enough. It's bad when my 2 sons start getting into a fist fight over the position and direction of the fan because it was that warm in the room. We were there 4 nights and it was never serviced. The fact that other people complained about it over time is a sign they're willing to leave it as-is. I understand the air conditioning is a bit of an issue in Italy, especially in the hottest months of summer, but PLEASE do all you can to make the rooms more comfortable. If you're not going to fix it, then make sure there's a strong fan available for each person in the room.
