This apartment is in an excellent location right next to the Vatican. There are loads of lovely restaurants and shops right outside the door and it feels very safe. Public transport (ie. buses, trams, metros) are very close also. For example it would take 15 minutes to get to Rome Termini station on the other side of the river by metro. If you want to go to Trastevere for great restaurants and nightlife, it's about a 30 min walk or 15 min bus. The building was very clean and features a beautiful vintage type elevator which was a bit spooky and rickety but also a great novelty once you get used to it! - would recommend using this if you have a lot of luggage as the apartment is up 4 flights of steps. The apartment itself was spotless, warm, cosy and spacious. You don't get access to the kitchen but are provided with a kettle, cups, teas and a mini fridge (as specified in the listing) which fit our needs perfectly. Maria also kindly provided us with a bowl of fruit on arrival with a welcome note. There is a lot of storage in the bedroom as well as aircon, a dressing table with a big mirror and a full length mirror. There are loads of plug sockets available. The bed was very comfy. You share the bathroom and living room area with Maria (the host). We made sure to leave things as we found them in the apartment as it contains Maria's personal belongings. There is a fantastic view of St Peter's Basilica from the living room. The shower is great - very nice water pressure and temperature with a good few different settings. Maria was fantastic, she was accessible if we needed her for questions or recommendations. For quiet guests such as ourselves, she also gave us our space and never intruded. She made it feel like it was our home too. Maria also helped us with no complaints when we had trouble once opening the front door at around 12 at night. She was very responsive to messages before and during our stay. Maria is a very positive, friendly, helpful and talented host (as proved by her fascinating artwork displayed around the apartment). We would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks for having us Maria!
