The apartment is literally steps from St. Peter's Basilica, and is on a quiet residential street (we were never disturbed by noise). Federica and Dario were very kind and helpful. The only downsides to the apartment were that 1) it does smell a little like mildew, which comes with being a basement apartment, and in places seemed slightly unfinished and 2) when we ran the washer, we had to reset the circuit breaker twice, even though we were not running anything else on that circuit. Note that the apartment does not have Wifi (which was not bad for us, but might be a problem for others). But if you are coming to Rome to see the sights (as you probably are), and aren't planning to spend much time in your room, the bed is soft and big, there's a kitchen with supplies to cook and save $$, the location near the Vatican is superb, and you won't find kinder hosts!
