This apartment, with good air conditioning and comfortable beds, was large enough for my family and friends. Alessandro quickly answered all of our calls and asked a driver to meet us at the airport. As promised, the apartment was located within walking distance of the Vatican, a huge plus.

That said, the amenities were not as promised. TV reception was very poor with no English programming. The computer could only be used for necessities because the keys stuck badly and the mouse was too short. The laundry was blocks away.

The biggest negative was the city tax that came at the end. Because my receipt stated "balance 0," I thought the tax was included and was shocked to find out on the last day that I owed over 200 euros. People who book this apartment should be told explicitly to plan for this tax.
