Gli Alloggi di Papà

The rooms were clean, with nice attention to detail, and the prices are excellent for the quality. The young sisters who own this beautiful, sunny family home are delightful and hospitable. It has a welcoming atmosphere, with the Vatican and Lungotevere (Rome's city center) just a bus ride away.

The stay began with 5 stars for the manager’s helpfulness, but that changed when we got to the property. We had to walk almost 1 km to park, and the place wasn’t 3 apartments as described, but 3 bedrooms. One had a double bunk bed and a queen-sized bed, with barely enough room to plug in a charger unless you were a contortionist. The wooden bed bases and 14 cm thick mattresses made for a really bad night’s sleep. The bathroom was shared, and taking a shower in the tub felt risky because you could slip. Afterward, the owner called several times, annoyed about my reviews of their business. I work in furniture, and even with very little, a space can be furnished comfortably. You shouldn’t charge the customer who reviews your place. They should take the feedback to heart instead. I sent a WhatsApp audio saying we were leaving and offering to supply quality mattresses if they wanted. That’s my experience.

The owner is friendly and the rooms are well equipped. The bathroom needs attention, though. Our toilet bowl was broken, and there was only a bathtub, no shower.

The owner was friendly, and getting into central Rome is quick thanks to the public transport nearby. It works well for a group. Just make sure you ask how to find the apartment, since it can be hard to locate if you don't know the area.
