The location was great for what we needed to do. It is about 1/4 mile fro St. Peter's square and we could go about anywhere in Rome from bus stops that were right in front of the apartment, or a few blocks away. This side of the Vatican has less tourists so finding grocery stores, bakeries, laundromats, etc. is very easy.

We didn't have the pleasure to meet Francesca personally but Ronaldo, who lives there and takes care of the apartments, was very helpful and courteous.
