This was a great apartment in an ideal location for Vatican sightseeing. Its close proximity to metro made getting anywhere in the city very easy. There are some nice shops and restaurants on Via Candia, but be sure to explore the surrounding streets as there is lots more in the neighbourhood! We didn't end up doing much cooking, but the kitchen was well stocked with oil, salt, sugar, spices, etc. so we wouldn't have had to buy any of that stuff - we noticed and appreciated that. Frederica was a very responsive host and check in was very smooth.
