When we selected the apartment, we did so for its proximity to Vatican city. This was the second stop on our tour of Italy. We were met by Massimo who showed us around & explained how things worked. He also provided info on the local area including places to eat. A complimentary bowl of fruit was a nice welcome. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and has loads of character. Although compact we found it suited us perfectly (family of 4). The second bed is on a mezzanine floor accessed by a ladder and the height is restricted. This was not a problem for the kids, it was all part of the adventure. There is a hidden wall safe available for use although the apartment is very secure as it has a security grill infront of the door. We certainly felt safe in the local area, with restaurants & supermarket nearby. It is approximately a 10 min walk from st Peter's square & 25mins from castle st angelo. We were really happy with appartment & would not hesitate to recommend it.
