Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
  • No pets allowed — The apartment is not pet-friendly, so you'll need to make other arrangements for animal companions.
  • Potential hot water issue — One guest reported a minor hot water problem on arrival, although it was fixed the next morning.
  • Third-floor walk-up? — The apartment is on the third floor (primo piano) – the building has a lift, but it's worth checking if the lift serves all floors before booking if you have mobility concerns.

“I was really taken with the apartment's décor – the elegant furniture and tasteful artwork made it feel like a luxury retreat. The common areas were well-kept too, with clean, wide corridors and a welcoming lobby. As an older woman, I found the building accessible, with ramps and handrails that made it easy to get around with my walking stick.”

“I had a wonderful time at Casa Frisi. The apartment is beautiful and roomy, with all the amenities you could need. The firm beds gave me the best sleep in ages, and the kitchen was well stocked – I loved having dinner on the terrace. The location is ideal, with the metro and a supermarket just a short stroll away. The porter was helpful and always available for questions. There was a small glitch with the hot water when we arrived, but it was sorted by the next morning. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Casa Frisi for a Rome stay.”

“The apartment was spotless, and the beds were like sleeping on clouds. We were only a short walk from the Vatican and the Lepanto metro, which made sightseeing a breeze. Plus, there were two great places to eat right nearby – Pratolina Pizza and Sciascia Caffe 1919. We had a brilliant time.”

9.1Verified guest

“The location is fantastic – easy access to most places we wanted to visit, and otherwise a quick taxi or the nearby subway did the trick. The rooms were immaculate and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and having dinner on the terrace was a lovely extra.”

“The apartment was roomy and well equipped, which made our stay comfortable. The location was handy for key sights and public transport. A nearby market and local bar added charm and convenience.”
