Our family of six really enjoyed staying in this apartment during the second half of our trip to Italy. Being only 2-3 blocks from the Ottaviano–San Pietro–Musei Vaticani subway stop is a huge strength of this apartment's location. It is equally close to Vatican City, too, with a great view of the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica. So, regardless of which part of Rome you are interested in visiting, this apartment's easy access to public transit makes everything accessible.
We greatly appreciated the restaurant recommendations our host, Maria, graciously provided — all of which were only a few blocks from the apartment. From what we observed, they were places popular with locals, not tourists, and that was reflected in the food, which was some of the best we had throughout our entire trip. Maria has furnished the apartment well, with a nice balance of modern amenities and charming antiques. The air conditioning worked extremely well and was appreciated.
Because the apartment is a fifth floor walkup without an elevator, it may not work as well if members of your party have mobility issues. However, in all other regards, it is a gem within Rome, and somewhere we would certainly stay at again. We heartily recommend this apartment to others.
