The photos are spot on! The apartment is stylish, well equipped and wonderfully clean. The bed was very comfortable,the bathroom had constant hot water and the coffee machine was an added bonus. We couldn't believe how close to the Vatican we were. It's closer than the pictures suggest. We were so grateful that Fabrizio was able to wait for us to arrive after a delayed flight. He explained everything about the apartment clearly. We didn't quite get the hang of the TV but there were better views from the balcony! The apartment is close to good pizza places, is above a shop for pastries and there is a 24 hour supermarket a two minute walk up the road. The apartment is quite a way from sights such as the Colosseum but we didn't mind walking. Make sure you explore the area behind the apartment on the Passegiatta Gianicolo and Mura Aurelia for some good views of the whole city. We got a taxi back to the station when we left and the fare was about 12 euros.
