We had a wonderful time at Via Degli Ombrellari. Barbara is an extremely friendly and interesting host. She replied very quickly to any questions we had, was kind enough to arrange a private taxi from the airport (at the same price as a normal taxi) and also supplied the basics (milk, tea, coffee, snacks) in the flat for us to enjoy.

The photos show exactly what the apartment is like; although I think its actually bigger in real life. A visit to the roof terrace is a must for a view of St Peters at night.

Prati is a very good area of Rome to stay in, its well connected by bus/tram/metro, has good shopping and is still walking distance to most things you are likely to want to see in Rome.
Borgo Pio is a bit touristy by day (being only minutes from the Vatican) but at night when the crowds leave you can meet the friendly locals in any of the great winebars/restaurants only minutes from the apartment.

I wouldn't hesitate to rent Barbara's apartment again!
