Herve's place is exactly as it is advertised. If you walk out the front door, you are looking at the back wall to the Vatican right across the street. It was a short walk to the entrance of the Vatican museums. Herve was very responsive to our needs and answered any communication very quickly (within the hour). He provided us with information on the best way to get around the city along with suggestions of "must do" things. I would not hesitate to recommend Herve's place while visiting Rome!
