Our first time in Rome - and this was a wonderful location to explore the city - only 10 minutes walk from the Vatican - and located in Borgo Pio, a lovely, relatively quiet, pedestrian street, filled with gorgeous cafe's. Hosts, Elena and Alvaro were extremely helpful - with lots of advice. The apartment was lovely and clean, with small kitchen and a beautiful new bathroom. The double bed was elevated in the lounge room (with sofa bed for my son) - so there is no separate lounge room. But this did not matter for us, as we went spent little time in the apartment. The only
drawback is the air conditioning (and air circulation) which needs improving - particularly for hot weather (particularly given the elevated double bed - which can get very warm). But a great place and excellent location for short stays.
