My family and I had wonderful experience in Rome. When we booked this apartment we thought we were in the vicinity of the Vatican but never in our dreams thought we were going to be practically next door neighbors with the new Pope. We loved it! Every time we got out of the apartment, there it was, waiting for us to come visit the Basilica, the Museum, the streets. If you want to enjoy good italian food, go to "La Pilota". Great service, good wine, and great location, just on one side of the Vatican. We could go visit the Vatican every single day we were in Rome. Aside from being a basement apartment, everything was great. A little problem with the front door but it didn't make a great impact on our experience of being so close to the Vatican and just a few blocks from the train station. Over all, I give this apartment
