Claudia and Cristina's apartment close to the Vatican provided a wonderful experience for our first Roman vacation. Our transportation to and from the airport was arranged which always helps with the anxiety of being in a new city. The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is new, modern, clean and in a safe neighborhood. Claudia and Cristina have provided everything necessary along with lots of extra touches- snacks, water, coffee, etc. The hot water was plentiful and the water pressure was great. The location is close to all transportation- bus, train, metro. For the first 2 days we tried to just walk and we were exhausted by the end of each day. Finally, we took the bus/metro map and ventured out. Once we figured out transfers/connections, we went all over the city. The Roma Pass is valid for bus, train & metro. The San Pietro train station is directly across the street from the apartment. The neighborhood is vibrant with lots of cafe/bar/restaurants within walking distance. We went out after dark and felt very secure- lots of people out walking and shopping. In fact, the whole city is busy after dark. The 24-hour market is just 2 blocks away and has everything you need. The Il Pappagallo bakery just down the street is the best that we found for coffee, pastry. Had we known their prices were so affordable, we would have been going every day. Our favorite restaurants were probably in the Campo de Fiori plaza- pasta, of course. Favorite gelato was the limoncello found across from the Trevi Fountain (as you face the fountain, the Gelateria is to the left- close to where the Police stand). Favorite pizza was by the Pantheon- facing the Pantheon the pizzeria was on the side street to the left, just steps away). We are thankful that we chose the Petrus apartment for this wonderful visit to Rome. We tossed our coins in the Trevi, so we are sure to return!
