This was second time I rented through The Key to Italy. The first time was Venice, May 2010. The second was in Rome, Oct 2011.The Rome apt was on the 5th floor overlooking the Vatican, right against Vatican wall, high enough to look down into the Vatican. Giovanni, the booking rep., actually met us in person in Rome. I remembered him from the Venice booking. Nice courteous guy. Speaks English well. He was very responsive, emailing next day. A week before booking, he contacted me to ensure everything was ready. In Rome, the apt was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything to prepare and serve meals. Iron and ironing board. The front door's lock systems were more secure than my own home's. Felt very safe leaving laptop and passport in the locked apt. The two bathrooms were outstanding, newly remodeled, each had shower, and clean. In Rome, Giovanni gave us 2 sets of keys at no charge. Subway was 2 blocks away. Bus hub was half a block away. Taxi stand was half block away, which was helpful when we needed to get to the train station. Grocery -1 block. Walking to central Rome was 20 min - Rome for us was about walking. I visited Rome with a married couple. The apt was roomy and large enough to allow all of us to feel that we had enough space. Free wifi. On the street, cafes for breakfasts. Gellato shop in front of bldg was popular! Location great on the morning that we visited the Vatican Museums - did not have to wake up so early to stand in line. Both the Venice and Rome apt bookings were great - we showed up, there was someone to meet us at the apt, and the apt was what the description said it was. No bad surprises. No hidden fees. No strange smells. No worries. Totally felt relaxed in both apts after long days walking. What you saw online is what you got. I heard from friends that some Italian apt rental companies take advantage of visitors, but not this one. When I return to Italy, I will use The Key to Italy.

The apartment is very large comfortable and conveinient to all. Great living room!

From the moment we entered we felt at home. The apartment was luxurious and had everything we needed. The location was safe and centrally located so it was easy to explore the city. The manager was very gracious and left a lovely gift basket which was so welcoming. All in all we couldn't have wished for more.

From the moment we arrived at the airport, I knew that the trip was going to be amazing! Our driver, arranged through The Key to Italy was helpful and answered questions that we asked during the 30ish minute drive to the apartment. Upon arriving at the apartment, we were amazed at what a great location it was in (though we knew before booking, it was more incredible upon arrival). Walking into the apartment, we were again pleasantly surprised - the apartment is well decorated and maintained. Apartment Risorgimento served as our base point for the 4 day trip to Rome. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend nearly the time we'd have liked in the apartment as we were out sightseeing; but, it had all the comforts of home, while being very conveniently located. Situated across the street from the Vatican, afforded us the ability to view the line and gauge when best to go enjoy. Additionally, it was a quick 10-15 min walk from most all attractions you'd want to visit - and it was an easy (and inexpensive) taxi ride. Our experience renting through The Key to Italy was flawless. Their staff was very helpful and answered all questions I asked (and there were many!). The entire trip is a great memory and I can't wait to return. I will certainly be contacting The Key to Italy team when it's time to head back!

We enjoyed this apartment fully. First it was in a great position, neighbours with the Vatican. On top of the one of the best Icecream shops with the best icecream I have ever tasted, called Old Bridge. Close to shopping, metro, buses. Very Clean, spacious, fully equipped, comfortable. A 5 Star accommodation. Giovanni was very helpful when we arrived. Will recommend to all friends. Thank you again Giovanni.

Take what you are about to read seriously! Our stay at the Risorgimento was more wonderful than we could have imagined. The apartment was much nicer and bigger than the photos portrayed. We were - literally - right around the corner from the Vatican. At night, we would sit and look at the beautiful dome of St. Peter's Basilica from our apartment window. Another very important thing to know is that the representatives - especially Silvia - of The Key To Italy were top-notch professional. I had an unfortunate fall and ended up needing a wheelchair. Without hesitation, Silvia came to my aid and arranged for everything I needed. I have already recommended this apartment and The Key To Italy to a personal friend. Wonderful!

We had a wonderful vacation in Rome and we enjoyed it so much more because of this apartment. It was terrific! Very spacious, clean, fabulous location, all the amenities you could possibly need, etc. It was so nice to have the comfort of a 'home' after long and busy days of sightseeing. Right from the start, we knew we chose the right place to stay. Giovanni met us at the apartment at a prearranged time and he couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. He showed us everything we needed to know about the apt and made sure we would be comfortable during our stay here. We spent four nights in the apt. and didn't have any issues at all. Within a block or two of the Vatican and a short 5 minute walk to the metro, the location was ideal to see the sights of Rome. And, having the best gelato shop in all of Rome right downstairs wasn't so bad either! When we return to Rome, we will definitely stay here again if it's still available!

the apartment was great! The location is perfect, you can walk to everything. The beds are comfortable and the clothes washer is a great bonus which allowed us the converse on the amount of luggage. Having Rome's best gelato shop ( Old Bridge) on the ground floor of the apartment also made it very easy for when you get those late night or mid morning cravings (we indugled every day and loved it). The car service is a must, when we arrived in Rome 3 hours late and the airlines didn't get our luggage out of the cargo container for another hour our driver was still waiting for us with a smile. He was the most welcome site after having a difficult trip getting to Rome. When we left the apartment at 4:30 am there he was again, on-time and most professinal. I highly recommend both the apartment and the car service.

Everything about our stay in the apartment was wonderful from the time we began communications via email. Stayed as a couple with our Mothers and sister-in-law. The five of us were very comfortable with our stay.

Great apartment in good location right next to Vatican. Easy access apart from one small flight of stairs, but that is the way it is in Europe. The only negative about the apartment was two very small bathrooms - again the way it generally is in Europe.

Check in with Giovanni went without a hitch he was there waiting for us and was extremely friendly and helpful. We made our own way from the airport getting the train to termini then the metro line towards Batistini getting off at Ottiviani and it was a short walk from there; really easy to find (head towards piazza risorgimento and you will see the Vatican walls and its opposite there near the infamous Old Bridge Ice Cream shop). The apartment was spacious, well maintained and had everything we needed. The views of the Dome, especially at night when it is all lit up, are spectacular and its really nice to have such large windows and not be overlooked. The windows are double glazed so the noise isn't a problem unless you are super sensitive to it. The beds were comfortable and we felt really at home. We felt secure and were happy to leave our belongings in the apartment whenever we were out. Whilst we only used the kitchen for making breakfast each day there seemed to be a good stock of cooking oil, salt, herbs etc that people have left. There are plenty of pots and pans and plates etc you don't need to take anything. The bathrooms were a little dated but clean and perfectly adequate with plenty of water pressure to shower even when there are 4 of you. There are no locks on the bathroom doors but having two of them and them being at the very end of the hall way we never found this a problem. We used the wifi each day and this was brill! We didn't really use them but there was also tv and a cd player. The location is brilliant you can pretty much walk everywhere and back! Trastavere is particularly good for a drink or something to eat in the evening plenty of atmosphere and not as expensive as the main squares. There were 4 of us in our apartment and another group of 4 of our friends staying around the corner in another apartment by The Key To Italy and we all agreed the service was brilliant, we would definitely recommend them to anyone and we will be using them again!

Overall our stay was great, the apartment was as expected; we were comfortable & everything worked fine-washer, fridge, hot water, air conditioners, stove, toilets, shower...all in good working condition. (You might want to replace the shower head and check the small CD player-the tray would not open for the Cd's.) Nice TV, DVD player, the beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the umbrella's available too. The location worked out beautifully for us, we were able to walk everywhere and the metro station was close by. It would be nice if you included the bus & metro schedules in your information folder and maybe information on the Roma Pass too. It was great having the gelato shop just below too. The double pane windows helped block out the street noise and we had no problems sleeping. And thank goodness for the elevator!! The transfer service that you provided from the port to apartment and apartment to airport was excellent! Timely, courteous, and with nice, roomy vehicles. The tour of the Vatican Museums, St. Peters, & Sistine Chapel was also perfect. Our tour guide, Tiberio was incredible!! He was so informative, entertaining, articulate in his speech and wonderful to have as our guide. Thank you for this recommendation also. The prices for all was very reasonable and it was nice to have you waiting for us upon arrival to explain everything and provide additional information to our questions. We were very happy and satisfied with everything! We would not hesitate to return or to recommend the apartment Risorgimento - Vatican View to our family and friends.

This rental was wonderful. The whole process went without a hitch. A driver was at the airport to pick us up. A very friendly gentlemen was at the apartment to let us in and explain the ins and outs of the neighborhood. The location was great. The view of the dome was beautiful. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and the gelato shop downstairs was yummy! What more could you want?

We had a great time at the apartment. We appreciated your great and caring communication from start to finish and your welcoming us to the apartment on time. The apartment is very well located and allowed us to take full advantage of our time to visit many sites. Some of the pots and pans need to be replaced and the shower head in the second bedroom needs to be cleaned or replaced. Otherwise the apartment was clean and very well furnished. Overall we liked it and would come back to it. Thanks for everything.

When we arrived our contact was waiting for us, showed us the apartment, explained how to operate the elevator,door locks,hot water heater and kitchen equipment. He than showed us the prepared book explaining how to use the internet and where to buy groceries. The rooms were large and comfortably furnished. We only experienced a few minor problems with the apartment such as water in shower drained very slowly, screws missing from toilet seat in one bathroom, loose electrical plug in kitchen, leak in bottom of tea kettle and seat in bedroom chair broken out. We were assured all these items would be corrected by the owner when she returned to town. Except for those few minor problems it was a wonderful place to stay.

Everything went smoothly. This is a great apartment for vatican sightseeing and just moments away from the metro and busses to see the rest of the city. Very roomy apartment for 6. Would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again on a return visit.

6 of us stayed in the apartment, ages ranging from 9 to 82, so the lift really helped. The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and spotless, in a traditional building with inner courtyard. It had everything we needed. The view of the Vatican was even better than expected and the local icecream shop, crepe shop and pasta/pizza/salad family restaurant, all on the same corner, were great value, everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Vatican Museums and St Peters were easy walking distance,even for our mixed group, as were the Open Top Bus tours. Car pick up and drop off at the airport was very efficient and good value for 6 of us. Check-in with Giovanni was prompt, easy and very helpful. All in all, an excellent stay and highly recommended. We would definitely stay here again. (My only reservation would be that the beautiful old windows, which open right out, could be a hazard for very young children if not supervised.)

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Rome and can't wait to return to see what all we missed. The apartment was roomy and comfortable, though we didn't actually spend too much time there. The walking distance to St Peters and to the Vatican Museum as well as easy access to the Metro was short as walking distance in Rome goes. We loved living like the locals as we felt like we were the only tourists in the area. The 3rd story apartment opened into a charming courtyard on one side, while the front street side opened up to the street that the Vatican wall is on. We enjoyed the view of St Peter's in the early am and especially at night. With the large windows open we could hear the traffic sounds and the activity in the streets and felt we were part of this magical city. We were able to walk over to St Peter's for early morning Mass several mornings with little effort and we enjoyed stopping at the wonderful gelateria below our apartment each evening when we came in tired and hungry. We would definitely stay there again. The only problem was the "hot" water was only warm, but it did the job. Having 2 bathrooms helped with the five people we were there with. The lift helped my 81 year old mom get up and down easily into the apartment. It took 2 trips to get all five of us there however as the life is tiny. Giovanni was wonderful, answering all our questions ahead of time and meeting us early upon our arrival so we could unload our suitcases before venturing out into the city. A charming experience that we can't wait to relive.

Although there were great reviews on this apartment, we were a bit nervous until we walked through the doors. Everything that has been said in previous reports was spot on. It was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect. Directly across from the Vatican made our exploring so easy. And the view at night of the St. Peter's!. Stunning. It was only a short walk to the metro to go to other parts of the city. The size of the apartment was perfect. We were traveling with our three teenagers, 18, 16 and 14 and we never once felt cramped. Although we really didn't use it much, the kitchen was fully stocked. We did use the washing machine and that was helpful. Very small compared to the machines we are used to, but it did the trick. The a/C was a welcomed addition when we would come in from the august heat. The road below was a bit loud, but with the a/c on, it wasn't a bother at all. The geletaria on the first floor of the building was delicious and you could always find a long line. We enjoyed a treat there every evening. We would definitely recommend this company and this particular apartment. They were so nice to work with and we just loved our apartment. Please, God, we get back there some day again!

Beautiful clean apartment next to Vatican. Loved having free wifi, washing maching and quiet air conditioning. Check in was very smooth and email service was prompt. Elevator up the apartment was nice to have instead of taking luggage up and down stairs. Building was secure and safe and great gelato downstairs.

Rome! The destination we set 5 years ago, but as every year came up we had to postone our vacation dream. 2010 came and we decided thats it was going to be the year we go. I planed my trip arround Vrbo listings. We found a great place small 1 bedroom appartment, but when I showed our friends, they wanted to come, so we found a perfect 2 bedroom, right across from the Vaticant. The Vaticant!..wow. We arrived and were not edisapointed with the accomadations, beautiful, clean, with air! Outside it was 34-40 c. but we were comfortable and got great sleep. With a full kitchen, the stay was fantastic. The only down side was that as Canadians we were not familiar with the electrical demands of Rome, but after Bruno explained, you need to share the appliences with available power usage, we were fine.

This apartment was in the best location possible. It was very spacious and beautifully appointed. After travelling all over the Mediterranean we were very happy with everything about this apartment. There are several wonderful markets close by. The claims of having the best gelato in Rome are not only accurate, but modest. Their prices were lower than everybody else and the portions almost double the average. The 3 kids ate there every day at least once. The only advice I can give is to warn your guests of the electricity usage limitations. Americans are not used to it and we blew the main fuse several times before finding out that you can only run two appliances at once. Turn the a/c off before turning on the washer or oven. Plenty of hot water with good water pressure. We couldn't have been happier. We've already recommended it to friends who are planning a trip in a year or two. Thanks to Giovanni for a beautifully appointed apartment.

L'appartement est très bien placé, vaste, clair et propre. Très confortable. Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux ! L'accueil et la disponibilité ont été impecc

The apartment was great, it exceeded our expectations.

This our first trip to Rome with 3 college students. This was a graduation gift to our son. Giovanni was efficient and very professional in helping us with our accommodations. He arranged a driver from and to the airport. The apartment is in a great location and near the train station. We couldn't believe the amount of closet space and loved the king sized bed. We never ran out of hot water with five people taking showers. Gelato downstairs was incredible (possibly the best in Rome) as well as the sandwich shop that had great panni sandwiches. Since the apartment is on the corner, there is a lot of traffic and noise. But with good wine and ear plugs, we were able to leave the windows open and enjoy the cool breeze. We greatly appreciated the wireless internet in the apartment as it served as a great means of communication and research in venturing outside of Rome. The area is very safe; and we found ourselves walking back to the apartment after midnight. Being so close to the Vatican, we were able to run to St. Peter's Square at the last minute and see the Pope. We are grateful to Giovanni for this wonderful treasured trip.

Wonderful aparment. Very central to Vatican. Good restaurants very close by. Not noisy at night. Spotlessly clean and certainly more suitable for a group of people than the bed and breakfast type hotels were we have stayed in the past. Spacious with all mod cons and also with homely touches. We were very well looked after by the representitive who was so helpful and charming.No hesitation in suggesting that this apartment would meet most travellers' needs.

This appartment had everything needed in a home away from home. It was ideally situated for getting on public transport and for walking to St Pauls as well as Castel St Angelo.The area felt safe and the people were friendly. One more thing the shop below really is the best Gellati in Rome. Thanks from Neil and Karen Lynne and Ron from Australia

very good service from Giovanni. Met us at the apartment and organised a shuttle from the station, which was very convenient. The apartment is very central and so it is a short walk to get to the major sights, which makes getting around easy. The apartment is very well fitted out. A bit noisy though (because of the location) and so in summer with the windows open it could get unpleasant with the noise.

We were happy with our apartment and we enjoyed our stay in Rome very much. The apartment was spacious and is in an excellent location. We walked to most of the main tourist sites and visited St Peters 4 times in our 5 day stay. You can see St Peter's dome from the window! There is a good supermarket, restaurants and lovely boutiques close by. The manager met us on arrival and showed us through the accomodation. We found the apartment to be as advertised. The Gelati shop downstairs is an added bonus!!

Located directly across from the Vatican walls and in between St Peter's and the Vatican museum, this apartment is perfectly situated for devout Catholics as well as those seeking to make the most of their Roman holiday. The apartment provides easy access to popular bus routes by being next to Piazza Risorgimento, and the metro stop is only three blocks away. Nearby is bustling Cola di Rienzo, full of affordable clothing shops as well as the culinary meccas of Castroni and Franchi. The apartment itself has a spacious living/diniing room, and the master bedroom, master bath, and kitchen are all recently renovated and comfortable. Free wifi is also a big plus, as is the in-house washing machine and air conditioning. On the downside, the second bathroom is rather small and not up to the standards of the rest of the house. The apartment is located on a noisy street which is fortunately most blocked out by the well-sealed windows, but discourages leaving the windows open. Overall this apartment makes a good base for exploring Rome and is an excellent value for the size and location.

The location of this apartment is excellent. The apartment iself is satifactory and easily fit our family of five. The location is only blocks from Ottaviano metro stop and is not that far of walk from Centro Storico locations if you are in a mood to wander a bit. There are many choices for a quick meal, coffee, drink, or shopping within footsteps. The main Ottiviano street has good shopping (+ a branch of Castani deli) and of course you will not get passed your front door every evening without stopping at the Old Bridge for excellent gellato right near front door. Only slight downside is sound of traffic in front bedroom if you are lighter sleeper unuse to city.

Excellent appartment in a very good area, with great access by foot to StPetes/Vatican and metro to the historic centre. Shops and Restaurants close by are frequested by locals and are far better than the tourist variety. Just be aware of the sound of traffic, which you get used to and reminds you that you are in Rome also the excellent Ice cream and Crepe shops downstairs.

The place is perfect and just next to Vatican, restaurants, bus station. Below the building is best Gelato in Vatican area. There are a couple of supermarkets too next to Vatican Museum. Being close to Vatican, the only setback is the noise from the traffic and of course a little pricey. The Key to Italy is the best in Venice and in Rome. I hope they extend too in Florence.

Clean, well situated, secure, convenient 2 small bathrooms for 2 rooms,adequate equipement in kitchenet to whip up a meal,spacious & nicely decorated dining/living room. Our roman friend was also very impressed and pleasantly surprised with the price we paid. Very accommodating hosts for instructions, getting more adaptors, arranging transportation to airport.

We enjoyed our stay in Rome, in particular the use of apartment Risorgimento. We were expecting something smaller but we very pleased by the size and amenities. The location was outstanding we couldn't ask for better, close to main bus and metro lines and walking distance to the top spots in Rome.The apartment was more than we imagined. We arrived from Fiumicino airport with the shuttle to Termini station and then we took the metro, about 6 stops and overall an hour trip, not too bad. Sistine Chapel and St.Peter were in front of us, just on the other side of Piazza Risorgimento is via Cola di Rienzo, which is a major and glamour shopping street, many boutiques, shoes stores, cafes, a closed Market and the famous grocery store Castroni, which is probably the most endowed with international food stuff. We had our breakfast every morning in the bar around the corner, an excellent capucino and croissants! Free wifi internet was a BIG plus, it helped us stay in touch with relatives and do some research about what to do on the following day. Overall a very positive experience, both reservation and check-in very easy and smooth. Recommended.

This apartment has a very good location and is very well maintained and clean! It is only 5 minutes away from St. Pietro, Vatican Museum and subway (metro, underground) station. The apartment is quiet and spacious as well. The building is old, but very nice and quiet! There is an elevator in the building and a porter! The building itself is very clean as well. There is a nice view from all windows and sides of the apartment. The living room bears some of the traffic noise, but not much! The utilities work well and bathrooms are clean and working properly; hot water runs well; washing machine works well; beds are comfortable; and the apartment overall, is spacious! Perfect for a family of 5 or 6, like we were! We enjoyed our stay here for 8 days in October 2009 and we will definitely use it again! We were all very satisfied with the Risorgimento apartment. Rome can be visited on foot and using the subway (metro) system, no need for bus tours, unless you plan a visit outside Rome. We found very good restaurants in the area, and the amazing Gelateria downstairs which is really, really good indeed!

WE SPEND A WEEK IN ROMA IN JUNE,09 AND RENTED THIS APARTMENT. FIRST OF ALL WE HAD DONE A TOUR OF ITALY AND WE NEEDED TO BE OUT OF OUR MOTEL AROUND 10AM. OUR CHECK-IN TIME AT THE APARTMENT WASN'T UNTIL 2:00PM. AFTER AN E-MAIL TO SYLVIA (PROPERTY MANAGER) SHE ARRANGED FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CHECK-IN TO THE APARTMENT AS SOON AS WE WERE OUT OF OUR MOTEL. SYLVIA MET US AT THE APARTMENT, WENT OVER EVERYTHING IN THE APARTMENT WITH US AND BY 10:30 WE WERE IN THE APARTMENT, READY FOR OUR WEEK OF ADVENTURE. THIS APARTMENT IS SPACIOUS, SUPER CLEAN AND WAS VERY COMFORTABLE FOR US. THE LOCATION OF THE APARTMENT FOR OUR FAMILY WAS GREAT. THE METRO IS JUST DOWN AND AROUND A FEW BLOCKS AND IS VERY ACCESSIBLE. THERE ARE EATERIES JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL SMALL GROCERY STORES IN THE AREA. THE VATICAN IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING AND A VERY SHORT WALK TO ST. PETER SQUARE. WE TOOK THE METRO OR WALKED EVERYWHERE. NO NEED FOR A CAR. FOR US THERE WAS NO DOWN SIDE ON THIS APARTMENT AND IF WE EVER GET TO GO BACK WE WILL DEFINITELY BE RENTING THIS SAME APARTMENT. ONE MORE THING, RIGHT NEXT DOOR IS PROBABLY THE BEST GELATO SHOP IN ROME. ENJOY! WE DID!

Apartment good size, clean, location good for access to Vatican and bus routes. Ice cream shop outside front door fabulous, although attracts lots of customers so quite noisy (delicious ice cream). Master bedroom at front of property above main road - which is constantly busy - so constant drone of traffic. Sofa bed in lounge comfortable but again at front of property. Two bathrooms a bonus, but very difficult to maintain right temperature of shower. Kitchen ok, but oven old so wouldn't recommend trying to cook in it - unless you like your food very well done!

We spent 5 days here at Easter and it was so ideal for visiting St.Peter's for Easter mass and touring the Vatican; so close we could see over the Vatican wall!The apartment service was great from airport pickup and return to the cake upon arrival,to the amenities in the apartment(spices, maps, videos,games, you name it!). We really enjoyed the big sunny windows and the gelato shop right below us(a bit noisy but the best gelato in the Vatican area). The apartment was very spacious. The master bed was a bit hard and the key was not always easy to do but aside from that, we had a marvelous time there!

Silvia and her team made sure our stay in Rome in September 2009 was memorable. From the prompt and full responses to e-mail enquiries pre-visit to the car pick up service from the airport to the prompt response when we requested a second set of keys, the Key to Italy team (Silvia, Bruno and Giovanni) were superb. Located within 200 metres of the Musei Vaticani and Piazza San Pietro, the apartment was an ideal location for a base in Rome. The Prati area in the blocks surrounding the apartment has all the shopping, groceries, restaurants and cafes you need and more. The Metro is approximately 5 minutes walk from your front door. The apartment itself was sparkling clean on arrival, very spacious and very light with large bedrooms with comfortable beds, two bathrooms and toilets (a bonus when there are 4 people), a very well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and beautiful furniture throughout. I really felt like a guest in someone's well to do family home. I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. The street can get noisy with traffic and chatter but all windows are double glazed and when shut blocked out virtually all noise. I would stay here again without hesitation. Mille grazie Silvia! I

This apartment that we rented is literally across the street from the Vatican. The area was perfect for us, centrally located and safe at night which was one of the major concerns for my family. We walked everywhere or took the metro to get around when tired. Ottaviano metro station is just 2 min away, food stores and restaurants are conveniently located just around the corner. When we arrived at the apartment we were pleasantly surprised by its size, we were not expecting so much space. The living room is very large and bright.Sofa bed is brand new and a fully double bed which was also a pleasant surprise. Silvia arranged a tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel for us. Very easy, we just crossed the street and skipped the long line, a 9 people group, a really memorable experience. This apartment was our first choice because of wi- fi internet connection, and it turned to be an excellent value for money accommodation. I'd recommend it without exhitation.

We arrived earlier than expected and we were welcomec by a charming young man who showed us around this excellent apartment. The apartment had everything needed for our stay in Rome and was it was immaculately clean. It was exactly as shown/described on the website particulars. The apartment is located a few minutes walk from St Peter's in one direction and for the Metro in another which was a great advantage. We could not have wanted better.There is a supermarket and a vegetable/fruit market about 10 minutes walk from the apartment. As we visited Rome in August it was hot and it was wonderful to come back to an air conditioned apartment. We received an excellent service from Key to Italy both before and during our stay. We were told when we made the booking that we had made an excellent choice and we agree with this 100%.

This apartment was absolutely perfect! It felt like home from the moment we walked in the door. The neighbors were friendly and kind and the building was very peaceful. The neighborhood felt very safe and comfortable. In addition, the apartment is very near two metro stops. Silvia and Bruno were awesome hosts and were readily available to provide assistance and information for any questions we had. This was exceptionally important to us because it was our two daughters' first trip overseas and they were very anxious. Their fears were eliminated when we arrived at the airport to the waiting driver they arranged to pick us up. When we arrived at the apartment Silvia and Bruno were there waiting for us and provided a tour of the apartment and thorough instructions on how to work appliances, etc. They also gave us their phone numbers in case anything came up during our 10-day stay and kept in touch throughout. To top it off, they made sure our return ride to the airport (which they also arranged for us)was also a good experience. A side note, our daughters enjoyed stopping at the oldbridge gelateria downstairs on the way up every evening and the view of the illuminated Vatican cupola at night...with a light rain and the windows open they were in heaven. We would highly recommend this apartment and "The Key to Italy" rentals to anyone considering renting an apartment in Rome. We look forward to returning to this apartment-home again someday.
