Maria was great! Her English is good and she knows the area very well. The room was lovely and comfortable and very clean. The bathroom was very nice with a lovely shower, toilet and bidet. The shared kitchen has all you need to make a nice cafe latte, cappuccino or cup of tea. Maria sets out a nice, simple breakfast in the morning...a good start for a day of touring! From the street, you would not expect it to be so nice. Maria's aunt has a small B&B on the 2nd floor of a very old building in Vatican City. You are a 5 minute walk to St Peter's square and the Sistine Chapel. Go very early to avoid the lines and DON'T pay the "tour guides" that will hound you on the street and claim to "Skip the Lines;" you will not get the experience you expect. Be sure to mail a post card home (to any country) from the mobile Vatican Post Office that is set up daily.
