Barbara's place is the perfect place to stay with family or friends to explore the Vatican and beyond. As soon as you turn the corner of the apartment building you will see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. The apartment has lovely views of a park, is directly across from a fantastic fruit and vegetable market with a butcher and fish stand, walking distance to cafes and to Vatican City, and is quite large. It is clean and she provides coffee, pastries for breakfast, and toiletries for each person. The building is safe and has an elevator. The only negative would be that the market started setting up at 5am and was very noisy if you are a light sleeper, but she can't help that. Maybe bring a sound machine or ear plugs. I would definitely stay here again!
