Francesco's apartment was an ideal base for people on a budget. It is located very near the entrance to the Vatican museums and located midway between the Ottaviano and Cipro metro stations. Bus 492 from across the road will take you directly to the famous sites (piazza navona, trevi fountain). There is a mini supermarket just a few yards away from the place and a larger Carrefour supermarket near the Cipro metro station. Also, loads of restaurants and cafes nearby. Now, for the not too good parts, comments regarding the shower fluctuating between hot and cold is accurate; airconditioning is only on one room plus the living room so not sufficient to cool down the whole apartment (although we were there on a heatwave and any cooling is very much welcome). Also, the wifi is quite patchy and didn't work most of the time we were there. But on the whole it is a very adequate accommodation and good value. It would suit people on a tight budget who wants to be based near the Vatican.
