Valter's daughter, Chiara, was super sweet and very helpful.... the restaurant just below the b and b was a great recommendation! The bed was super comfortable, especially after a long day of traveling and walking. The bathroom was clean and well updated.
The proximity to St. Peter's is amazing - less than a five minute walk (minus the lines!). hint: the Basilica opens at 7am. We got there at 8am on a Friday and there was NO line and the crowd was not imposing. We found it very easy to find a place for reflection without being disturbed.
The street is a little noisy in the mornings, making sleeping late difficult. Obviously the host cannot do anything about that, so close the curtains and shutters for added insulation. This was not a big deal but may surprise some...
