Pros: *Vatican 3 minute walk to entrance.( apartment facing the back entrance but u may get a glimpse of pope coming out like we did highlight:) watching swiss guard in action)
*super safe even at night walking around. Little grocery store and good restaurants nearby. My two favorites homeaway breakfast(american) and st.pietro restaunt. (Italian) bistek was on point.
*we ubered everywhere never more than 17euros.
*andrea arranged a benz van to pick us up from train station the to airport after check out. It made everything so much easier without us having to worry about being lost in a country we never been to.
* Andrea greeted us immediately on arrival. He even had the heater on ( it was cold outside) as I requested. Gave us a tour of apt. Explained everything in detail. Had an issue with tv he got to it right away. Got it fixed in timely manner.
*loved the thoughtful basket of goodies and fridge of drinks. This really came in handy for late night mid day snacks for parents . ( i think they just about finished entire basket, we stayed almost a week)
* laundry detergent , soap, tooth brush. So many extras not expected. Definitelyset the bar high.
* comfy plushy beds and pillows.
* hot water never ran out. Family of 4 adults
Cons: not even really a con but we are tv people . A smart tv would went a long way. We like to sleep with the tv on . Especially because we dont want a house if silence at night with my parents in a room nearby to hear our conversations ;). But andrea put dvd in our room next day and we had movies:)
The stairs were an easy climb. parents were celebrating the 35 wedding anniversary and are active seniors.i was scared of stairs for them but they did not mind for just being by vatican with that view was all worth it.
Id definitely recommend for anyone this is one of the best bnbs im in.
