The Apartment is as advertised. It was clean, centrally located and comfortable. Barbara and her husband greeted us on our arrival. They provided us with a nice welcome basket and some cold drinks. They answered all our questions and where very helpful. They also arranged a private car to the airport on the day of our return home. There are a few resturants located near by and a 24 hour Super market a few blocks away. The apartment is about half a mile from the Vatican and walking distance from some of the other tourist sights. From 6am - 1pm, there is a Farmers Market on the street in front of the apartment building. When you first arrive at the apartment it looks like its in a tough neighborhood and might be a little intimidating. After walking around in the afternoon and Evening, I felt very safe. The area is great and I would defiantly stay there again.
