Vatican from Above
We had a wonderful experience with our stay in this Rome apartment in the neighborhood of Prati, less than a ten minute walk from the gate of the Vatican Museum, and a very pleasant twenty-minute walk to St. Peter's square. Humberto is a kind and gracious host, and his apartment is lovely, situated in an authentic Italian neighborhood, away from the congestion of tourist traffic. At the top of a five story apartment building, Humberto's clean and spacious two-bedroom apartment is airy and attractive in its modern simplicity, with all the basic amenities (including excellent wi-fi, air-conditioning, and an elevator) and a beautiful view of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Within easy walking distance are restaurants and shops, including a Sardinian restaurant on Via Medaglia d'Oro with superb pasta, seafood, and homemade lemon ices and a Fatamorgana ice cream shop with organic, all-natural products, including gluten and dairy-free items. In the hot and humid days of August in Rome, this little treasure was a great find. Humberto was responsive to our many questions and very understanding when our flight was delayed and various plans had to change last-minute. We really appreciated the large water bottles in the fridge and his handling of taxi reservations for us. We would all love to stay in this apartment again, the next time we visit Rome! Thank you, Humberto!
