Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just outside Vatican City, this apartment offers a fantastic location for exploring Rome. Up on the third floor, you'll have two small balconies with enough space to sit out, and the sofa bed in the living room folds out to sleep two extra guests. At full capacity, there won't be enough seats for everyone at the dining table and the kitchen here is on the smaller side without an oven, but fear not. You'll have a selection of restaurants within walking distance, and public transport is easily accessible from your doorstep for hitting all the city's hotspots.

Home truths
Parking in Rome can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport.
Your host can provide a free cot for little ones. You'll need to request this in advance.
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room.
This home is in an apartment building in a central location. You can expect to bump into other residents of the building, and you may hear some outside noise.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The balcony overlooks the buildings opposite, so won't feel the most private and the views aren't the most inspiring.

Local guide
About Valle Aurelia
Valle Aurelia is directly behind the Vatican, but you’d never guess from the number of tourists. Perhaps the nickname, Valle dell’Inferno (Valley of Hell) is enough to put them off. Rest assured though, it’s not a comment on the place, rather a reference to the presence of enormous furnaces in the area, which were in use up until the 1920s. It was the heart of metalworking, clay firing and brickmaking in Rome for centuries, and this instilled a vibrant working-class character to the neighbourhood, which endures today.

Host
This home is managed by Gianluca
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. As soon as we met him, we could tell that Gianluca was a bit of a perfectionist. He stays in contact with many of his former guests, and we were particularly touched by all their messages displayed in the apartment’s window.
