The apartment is wonderful, even the sofa bed is comfortable. The apartment is on the 3rd floor. There is a very nice grocery less than 1 block from the apartment. The Bus stop is within 1/2 block but the Metro station is about 1/2 mile away. The Vatican is in walking distance but you do have to walk to the other side of the walled enclosure to obtain admittance. The Vatican Museum entrance is very close to the apartment. Loris was a great host and I would not hesitate to book another vacation to stay at one of his apartments in Rome.
