CASA MAUKE | Apartment in front Vatican

The apartment location was great for sightseeing. Apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We loved that there was AC in every room.

The wifi was a bit unstable and slow at times but everything else was great.

Красивая чистая квартира в хорошем месте

Upon arrival, our host, Matilde, was right on time to warmly welcome us and showed us in. She was exceptional even before, during, and after our stay. She kept communications open for whatever we need and was very fast to respond. She even gave us tips on where to shop, eat, and find transportation. The host also offered to arrange transportation for us from the FCO airport, which we were glad to have agreed to. It was hassle free for us, who flew in to Rome the first time, and the price was reasonable considering how much the taxis at the airport would charge. The apartment was clean and exceeded our expectations. We liked that the apartment had two rooms, each with an adjacent shower and toilet of their own, so there's no need to share the bathrooms. The common area was just right for four people to eat and have a good conversation. Each room also had their own TVs, so you could just lay around and take some time to rest after a day of touring the city. The apartment was also stocked with everything you need to make some coffee. The apartment location was also great. It was close to whatever you need, such as restaurants, fast food chains, market shops, and taxi stations. There was also a coffee shop just around the corner, on a street behind the apartment, that opens at 6am, so it was very convenient to grab a quick breakfast. If you like gelato, the Old Bridge Gelato was amazing and it was just a five minute walk from the apartment. This gelato place is so popular, that there were still a lot of people up to their 12 midnight close time. The apartment is also a five minute walk to St Peter's Square and about a ten minute walk to the Vatican Museums, so you could walk to and from St Peter's Square to take daytime and nighttime photos if you like. You could also see the dome of St Peter's Basilica from one of the bedroom windows. I would highly recommend this apartment and I would stay here again.

I didn't like that the building's elevator only had limited space and weight. The elevator could fit 5 people easily. However, if you'll have to bring luggages up, you'll have to make a couple of elevator trips to get everything to the apartment. Our host Matilde, was gracious enough to inform us of the weight capacity and helped us make the multiple trips to get our luggages up. This was not a big deal breaker for us, as we were able to use the elevator flawlessly after we've settled down. I also did not like that it was a bit difficult to open the front door. This door is usually left open, but it gets locked around 10pm. Tip: Ask your host on how to do this. I'm pretty sure that you'll be outside exploring the city even after 10pm =)

Beautifully decorated and clean. Attention to detail was outstanding.
