Paola’s place was in a great location literally steps away from St. Peter’s Basilica. The apartment was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. There is no formal kitchen in the unit for cooking, but we didn’t plan on cooking during our short stay in Vatican City (2 small refrigerators are in the apartment). Paola kindly waited for us, as we had train delays on our way to Rome. She was extremely hospitable upon our arrival, gave us the tour of the apartment, and provided us with a lot of good info. about the area and available tours. Keep in mind that the apt. is on a 3rd floor (4th if you’re from the US), and there’s no elevator— just in case you’re traveling with a disabled guest(s). I highly recommend this apartment. Thanks again Paola!
