Crystal House

Very Good
Traveller Type: group
  : Location of the apartment is wonderful. Straight in the centre of the City. The size of the apartment is very appropriate for 5 people. 2 bathrooms with toillets are a bonus.
  : The third room with separate bathroom a little worn out. But not much of a hassle.

  : The lady who met us to drop off the keys was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is really spacious. It’s not new or modern but it has a definite charm to it. We were left chocolates on the table and some beer and juice in the fridge for us to use. The location was great. It’s very close to the Vatican. Also close to a supermarket and a local market. Lots of restaurants nearby in the evening. I would highly recommend staying here.
  : The WiFi wasn’t working when we stayed.

  : The property was a short walk to the Vatican. The apartment was clean, had air conditioning (which we needed because it was hot when we were in Rome), a living area with a large table and chairs and two sofas, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was an elevator, which was great since the apartment was on the fifth floor. Our host, Elke, was wonderful. She met us at the apartment, gave us a complete tour of the apartment and the rooftop deck, and she left us snacks and restaurant recommendations. There were plenty of restaurants and stores in the immediate area. We would stay there again.

  : The location(Prati) for access to the Vatican was perfect. The area has many very good restaurants and excellent shopping on Cola di Rienzo. Also close to grocery stores, gelato and cappuccino. Realtively safe because of residential area.
  : The actual apartment needs some tender loving care. Both washrooms have shower drain problems. Furniture in main area is very worn and stained. Needed to ask for extra toilet paper and only 1 towel for entire stay of 7 days (somewhat worn). Absolutely no instructions for operation of induction stovetop and washing machine. Had to call owner and have her return to apartment to show us how to operate machines. As well there was terrible odour coming from an unknown source in the area of two bedrooms. Had to open windows to rid apartment of smell. Garbage has to be taken down 5 flights to street side garbage bins. At various times during the night and day loud bottle rattling can be heard. Very inconvenient during the night and garbage location is unsightly.
