Pietro was such a wonderful host! Before I arrived, he wrote me helpful options for getting from the airport to his flat, and upon arrival, we were given a warm tour of the apartment. The place itself is very clean, with a lovely balcony to have your morning coffee.

The Vatican is right next door (literally) and there are steps down to a main street to get to buses. This is a quiet, residential area, so if you want to stay off the beaten track in a local area without the herds of tourists and noise, opt for Pietro's place.
