    Bed in an Apartment and Breakfast in Outside Cafe

    Dull color of curtains and bedsheets, bed that is just joined into two to make it bigger but separates many times, vinegar smell of the clean towels, only bath wash available, scent of the bath wash, neighbors who forget to close the door to the elevator hence no one can use the elevator, short talks with host (felt distant), sound from outside door can be heard inside room, and locks need a lot of experience to get used too.

    High ceilings, electric sockets on each side of the bed with bed side lamps and drawers, cleaned everyday, new toilet paper everyday, new towels everyday, good size for the room, view of the outside, breakfast at Mozart cafe, location near the Vatican, free common use of kettle and other things, dramatic door, bidet, cute apartment ran like a bed and breakfast with breakfast literally outside the streets in another cafe, and lots of stores nearby.

    There could have been a little more counter space in the bathroom. If you are going to give me shower gel, please give me a wash cloth, cause otherwise I waste alot of shower gel. The bed was harder than we are use to, but we sleep on 2 inches of memory foam for achy joints

    Check in was very accommodating; the elevator worked since it was on the 4th floor. The room was very quiet as long as the windows were closed.

    We just had struggles with the elevator and door lock but it’s a new thing for us.

    Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, treats in the kitchen! There happened to be construction on the street but a great neighborhood. Excellent restaurant on the corner recommended by the property mgr.

    This was a very nice place. It was a quiet, clean hotel in the heart of the city, just a step away from the metro. Most of the sights of the city could be reached on foot. We mostly walked everywhere. I can recommend it to everyone. If I come to Rome again, I will stay there.

    Whatever you do, to take breakfast, get the damn card with you.

    Take the breakfast card with you, or you are left without breakfast! I didnt like the roof. Also I didnt know I had to take with me the breakfast card to take the breakfast, leaving me without food because I had a photo of the card and not the card physically. I was very surprised that the girl justified just because of it, not giving me breakfast. She didn't even bother asking the owner, just simply told me you cannot get the breakfast. This quite literally ruined my whole experience. But overall as a room was very good. Would have probably rated higher if it wasn't for the breakfast card.

    I liked the guy who showed me the place, very clear and fast. He didn't waste any time to show me. The bathroom was clean, towels also ready. Bed was very good.

    There were extensive planned works being done in an apartment on the floor below. The workmen caused absolutely no dirt in the common areas at all, and when encountered were always polite. However there was inevitably quite a bit of noise after 8.30am.We usually left soon after so didn't affect us much, but as works were planned ahead we should have been informed at, or after, our booking since works were planned not emergency.

    The location was fantastic and the apartment was very comfortable.

    La Favola di San Pietro is in the heart of the city. You can go to many touristic places by walking. Also the subway and the bus stations are very close. You can be sure that they will do their best to make your travel more comfortable.

    The check in. There were no directions previously given as to where to go or what to do. I unfortunately did not have service when I got here, so had trouble contacting the owner. I used someone else's phone to try contacting them, but nothing worked. I called booking, who also tried contacting them, and also couldn't. I got lucky on one of my attempts to call and the call went through and she answered. She finally let me know the number of the unit to go to. Luckily someone was coming out of the building when we got there, so we were able to go through all of this confusion inside instead of right on the street. Also.....the queen bed in the room with a queen and single was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever slept on. You could feel the springs digging into you. The rest of the beds were fine, but I didn't sleep much there, because that bed was absolutely horrible. It hurt. I would suggest getting a mattress pad or something to make it at least decent.

    The owner was helpful. Absolutely loved the location. It was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

    I would just take better care of the cleaning floor is very dusty at the bottom of the bed and bed sheets are kind of old but over all is great

    The location is great close to a lot of cute places to see, if you planning on going to the vatican area or not is a great area to stay, not that far from the main train station, everyhing is great, the breakfast included in the little cafeteria close by, also metro station at 2 blocks. the fridge in the room helps a lot and they have a coffe table to share with the other rooms
