Our stay in Rome was great and Catharine was a good host. Our welcome to the apartment was great and included a package of information / suggestions for our stay. We were pleasantly surprised at all of the amenities provided to us (stocked breakfast food each day, water / fruit for us in the entry way). The neighborhood was quiet and residential. While the apartment is not centrally located, it was close to Vatican City and a major bus route. We felt that we got a great value out of our stay. I'd recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a good-value home base for sight-seeing at the Vatican.
