Chiara's place is a cozy, well-equipped flat on two levels in a typical Italian "courtyard" condominium and, although the area is lively and within walking distance of St. Peter's and the Vatican Museums (big plus), the flat itself is quiet and will give you a great night's sleep after you've walked miles a day through Rome. Public transport (underground, bus and tramways) are also within walking distance. The area is also pretty well-appointed with a couple grocery stores if you want dine-in provisions, take out places, sit-down restaurants and gelato places. All in all, we loved it and would definitely come back!
