This place exceeded my expectations on a number of levels. Cleanliness was superb. We were very grateful that they allowed us an early check-in because we arrived in the city at 10 am after a very early morning flight. His Aunt checked us in when we arrived and she was very sweet and lovely. The posting mentioned shared areas, but that is only the reception area and the courtyard. The bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room in the downstairs suite was all ours. The location is phenomenal. It is only a few blocks from the Vatican City. There are countless restaurants and markets just around the corner and a shopping district one street over.
