The room was close to the Vatican museums and very close to St.Peters. We liked the ease of walking to the basilica and through the piazza every night! There were cafes and restaurants close to the apartment which made for easy breakfast and dinner options. The apartment was clean and cozy and a nice way to welcome us to Italy. The area felt safe, albeit noisy. The air conditioning was great for the high summer heat! Figuring out the transportation was tricky since busses were not so reliable. Look into the Roman bus website to plan ahead of time. We saw a lot of Rome by walking instead of taking the bus!
