Gonfalone Residence Vittoria

We had some issues accessing the room as the code didn't work and the emergency number was in Italian and we couldnt understand it. We eventually managed to get in touch with staff after messaging VRBO. The office had been closed for lunch but they came soon after to let us into the room. The room was atill being cleaned close to 3pm although check-in time was 2pm. So we had to wait for the maid to finish. Something broke on the front door meaning we were locked in! But staff sorted this out quickly. After the initial set of mishaps things were good thereafter. The accommodation is nice and well equipped and in a great location. The master bed was very hard so we didnt sleep very well. The ensuite shower upstairs is tiny! We couldn't get the gas hob to work but ate out for most meals. The property was quiet and handy for exploeing the city. We had a nice time overall.

The Good • Neighborhood very residential and close to many good cafes and good trattorias. We ate several times close to home. • Vatican, Piazza de Compo, good shopping all very walkable (15 minutes or less). • Apartment was clean and settled upon arrival and access procedures easy to follow. • Two bathrooms and two showers (one up and one down) are good but both relatively small. The Not-So- Good • Lift out of service – currently used as a storage area, inside of lift. Apartment access (3rd floor) after two and a half flights of stairs. • Front window right side (looking out) large crack from bottom to top. • Living room couch worn and old (I had a better couch in college 40 years ago). Bed linens need to be replaced, quite worn also. These items need to be replaced as this is a decent apartment, but poorly stocked. • Bedroom is in the Loft, and the ceiling is slanted so foot of bed to ceiling was about 4 feet. Difficult at night to navigate passage from left side of bed to bathroom.

Rome is beautiful

Great little apartment. There are many stairs to get to the apartment and the showers are very small. Good news is there are 2 bathrooms!

It's all about the location. Wow! There is no better place to stay in Rome. Walking distance to all the sights. Great restaurants just around the corner. Very, very comfortable bed. Clean place. So great to have a washing machine and dryer. And the host was more than welcoming. Replied within a very short period of time when I had questions, made everything possible I have requested for, even arranged a driver picking me up and driving me to the airport. Couldn't have wished for more. Highly recommended and would stay there always again. P.S. I have been travelling on my own and that was great. For a longer stay and more than two people, storage space is limited. Keep that in mind when you travel with a lot of luggage.
