This was the best appointed Apartment of our entire trip. Meticuloulsly clean and neat, stylishly decorated, and very cozy. Massimo laid out the welcome mat with beer and water in the Fridge, fruits on the table, and he carefully showed us how everything worked. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay, and our family of four felt like locals. The area is very quiet, and the apartment is exceptionally secure. The loft is somewhat short, but our kids loved it. We watched the Italy-Germany game on the TV and had a great time. If you want to tour the Vatican this is THE place to stay. The apartment is an easy five minute walk to St. Peter's square. We hopped in Taxis to get across the river (mostly because we didn't want to repeat the same walk every time we went to the Trevi Fountain or other monuments) and it was easy to get one nearby. Massimo even provided us a map (which we subsequently doused with wine) and highlighted spots for us.
