This apartment was the perfect location for immersion in Rome and Vatican City. My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon for 9 nights. Every day we left early in the morning for some crazy new adventure and this apartment was the best home base.

If you're wondering just how close it is to everything: literally at the end of the street is the entrance to the Vatican City offices like L'Osservatore Romano and St. Anne's parish. You turn south off Borgo Pio and in two blocks you hit Via Conciliazione with St. Peter's straightahead. If instead you went East one block you would end up running into Castel San Angelo, where a huge park and open plaza are.

If you go with this, definitely take the Sitbus Shuttle from the airport or trainstation, because it's only 6 Euros each person and very frequent/dependable. Guglielmo was so kind to even pick us up from the bus stop to take us to the apartment.

Borgo Pio is a very popular tourist street full of restaurants and BnBs. A lot of them are great and Guglielmo points out two in particular that we HIGHLY recommend, since most of the other ones are not that great.

One thing to note: A/C in Italy is not like what Americans are used to. If you travel here in the July-August, just be ready to come home and not have your apartment cooled down. The unit in the bedroom works great at night to keep you comfortable, but you will not find the kitchen or bathroom cooled as much since it isn't Central Air. But hey, you're going for the Roman experience, so just deal with the heat and sweat :)

This apartment isn't really close to the metro train stops, so we almost always walked everywhere, which meant both 45 min walk to the Colosseum but all sorts of exposure to shops and sights of Rome that aren't always seen.

Finally, just some Roman tourist advice: don't buy anything from the guys walking around, even tours to the vatican or museums. You can skip almost any line by buying tickets online through the official website, and you can always find awesome souvenirs in the Vatican's own giftshops (like the one at the top of St. Peter's. Seriously! Go up to the cupola and on the roof of the church is a gift shop run by nuns with a caffe/ristorante it's hilarious!)
