Barbara was a fantastic host!!!! Very informative about the area and gave us great tips of places to eat. She did not hesitate to a favor we needed at no cost. We really appreciated her kindness and hospitality. The apartment was very clean, cozy, and very well maintained. The A/C works great and we had no problems with hot water :) We absolutely enjoyed the neighborhood and would definitely come back to this area/apartment! It's a nice 20 minute walk to the Vatican. Along the way you pass by many pizzerias, gelato shops, small markets and wine bars. I highly recommend to eat at the restaurant across the street. (Trattoria alla Bucaniera Pizzeria....I had the best fettuccine with mushroom dish!!) Book this area/neighborhood if you really want to experience the everyday Roman life without all the touristic crowds & shops! Very local!!
