Our stay at the Vatican Attic was great. Gabriella arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the train station and met us when we arrived. The apartment was large, open and with a lot of natural light. We were there during one of the hottest weeks of the year in Rome and the air-conditioning worked well to give us a cool respite. We could turn it on upon our return and the place cooled down quickly. You have to bring all your own supplies or purchase and there are several shops nearby if needed.
The location was great, the Vatican was within site and easy walking distance but the location kept you out of the tourist hustle. The walk to the Metro was less than 10 minutes and from there you can get anywhere in the city just about.
No review would be complete without mentioning the café on the ground floor of the building, Caffe dei Papi. This became our refuge. It opened at 6:30 for Cappuccino and expresso and stayed open later for spritz and bier and food. It was run by a mother and her 2 teenage sons. They were great and very accommodating.
If travel takes us to Rome again we would stay here again.
