A lovely getaway in the heart of the Vatican. Although Google Maps had sent us a bit further down the street it was still easy to find. Mary's colleague Alina met us and gave us a detailed tour of the apartment and a rundown of the surrounding amenities.
The apartment is very comfortable, with a decent sized double room and a very a surprisingly comfortable pull out sofa bed.
It's a short walk to the Vatican museum doors meaning St Peter's Basilica is only a little further on.
Cipro is the nearest metro and then you're two stops from Falminio from which you can easily explore the centre of Rome and visit all the main tourist attractions.
Although Mary could not be there to greet us herself she made sure she was available by phone and offered us the help of her entire family if we needed it.
Thankfully our trip was peaceful with no problems at all so we didn't need to take up her offer. It was comforting to know that any problems would have been dealt with quickly.
All in all it was one of my best trips to Rome made all the better by a quiet sanctuary just a short walk or metro to all the action.
