Barbara is a wonderful, inspiring person and a delightful hostess - welcoming, helpful, and very gracious. The apartment reflects her wonderful personality. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Barbara was able to have the apartment ready for me on a very short notice. It is set just block away from the Vatican, located above one of the charming streets of Rome - lined with cafes, restaurants, shops, markets. The apartment, which is on the top floor, overlooks St. Peter's Basilica to right, and Castel Sant'Angelo on the left. I spent part of an afternoon relaxing on the terrace just above her apartment, enjoying the panoramic views and the warm Italian sound. Barbara is a gem and it was an absolute treat to stay here. I highly recommend her apartment to any one visiting Rome!
