As two veterans of Rome, we very much enjoyed our stay in this neighborhood behind the Vatican. It was great to be a “local” in a nice, quiet area away from the tourists. The patio was amazing to have as an amenity, the check-in was easy, and the security felt very strong. One thing to note for anyone unfamiliar with Rome, the apartment is roughly 15 minute walk uphill / downhill from San Pietro. This did not bother us, however it might not be for everyone. Otherwise, everything was fantastic.
