This apartment was a useful and functional housing accomodation. It was furnished in a sparse and complete way, clean and well equipped. It had little wow factor but everything you needed was right there at your fingertips even a washing machine. the ground floor location was subject to street noises and early morning garbage truck pick up was an instant wake up alarm if the windows were left open. The host was generous with his information and city and restaurant tips and made us feel welcomed and and at home. The location is right on the door steps of St Peter's square... so if your are Vatican City focussed, this is your place. If not, it is a good hike to most of the center city attractions. We walked over 4 to 5 miles daily to get to where we wanted which was fine for us. So be prepared to have a hefty taxi budget for your trip if you select this apartment. There are buses available , but we preferred walking. Restaurants and convenience stores are within minutes and we even found an American style breakfast all day place when I longed for pancakes on block away called :Homemade Grandma's Kitchen which we enjoyed and the owner is from Buffalo. The pancakes and waffles were a welcomed change. Overall I would stay there again.
