Casa Doria - Vatican Museums

Everything was just as expected. Daniela was wonderful and communicative. Gave us so many helpful suggestions. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Doria & couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Rome.From the moment we arrived, we felt safe & right at home. The neighborhood is great, with shops like Bershka, beautiful jewelry & leather stores, & plenty of restaurants all within walking distance. The spots next door & directly across the street were especially amazing.We even enjoyed spending time with the neighbors’ cats, which added such a fun & charming touch to our stay.Daniela was an incredibly gracious hostess. We had a couple small issues with the gate & door at first, but she quickly & calmly explained everything & made it easy.Quick tip: the shower has a trick. Turn on the bidet & sink & the water warms up perfectly.The apartment is well equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen, a very comfortable bed, & extra blankets if needed. The area felt extremely safe, even coming home late at night.Getting around was easy using FREE NOW, with plenty of options. There’s also a great food market about half a block away & a farmers market across the street with flowers & food.And you must go to LOVE Café, the best coffee & pastries we had in Rome.We would absolutely stay here again & highly recommend it! Thank you so much Daniela!! We loved every second there, it was the perfect mom/daughter get away!

Very welcoming, took care of an issue we had right away. Hsd fun with neighbors cats

Host Daniela was responsive. Upon early check in, apt was freezing. We were wearing our warmest clothes. We closed all the open windows. This is a bottom floor basement apartment. The bathroom has a very sloped short roof.Daniela had to send a code to the heater to turn it on. It is located about a half a mile from the wall of the Vatican. It was a steep climb. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and we had to learn about the 4 different bins for garbage which we deposited on the street outside of the apartment. There were multiple nice restaurants. There was a great grocery store. There was a pharmacy across the road also. Daniela was great in that she helped us when we left our phone in a cab. It got returned.To be fair, I must mention this negative. Host did not seem to believe us that there was no hot water in the shower. She suggested we turn on the water to the bidet first. This didn’t work consistently and it was either boiling hot or freezing cold. We could not consistently rely on having a shower that was a moderate temperature. Host insisted that the boiler had been checked prior to us.She finally came after many days to discover for herself that what we had been telling her was correct she said to just put the water on in the different faucets in the bathroom, so that’s what we ended up doing. Upon our departure, we were given a list of chores, not to mention apartment fees, which came out to 108 for two people for nine days. Surprise!!
