On arrival, Valter helped me with my luggage from the taxi to the room where Chiara was waiting with a warm smile.
She handed me the keys and patiently answered all my questions.
I had some reservations regarding the room I was given, as i was expecting a room overlooking St Peter's square but ended up in the room overlooking the courtyard.
My disappointment was immediately communicated to the host.
However, she eventually convinced me to stay in the latter room which I did not regret.

The description of the location of the listing though not completely wrong; I found it a bit misleading.
One side of the building of which this listing is part of may be overlooking St. Peter's square; and perhaps the other rooms (of which I am not totally sure) in the listed property may have a side view of the square.
In my opinion and knowledge I daily walked outside of the gates of the property to a patio like area to enjoy the view of the square.
Yes the listing has extremely close proximity to the St Peter's Basilica and square, literally "a stone's throw". Barely 2 minutes walk depending on how fast one's paces are.
Nonetheless, i felt there was some degree of misleading description of the listing. I would have been okay with the knowledge that it was extremely close but my expectations and dreams of just standing in the comfort of my room looking out of the window admiring the beauty of the square was dashed.

Despite the above, I had a very good stay. I felt safe and at home.
The premises is well kept.
The neighbourhood is filled with restaurants, stores, and a bus stop (bus 64) is just round the bend.
The area also seems relatively safe.

On the eve of my departure Chiara was kind enough to arrange a taxi to pick me up early for drop off at the airport of which I am most grateful.

I would like to suggest that as a welcome gesture at least a bottle of water be left in the fridge for arriving guests for a starter until guests can buy their own water or beverages.
Tea, coffee, sugar etc were provided with a hot water kettle.

Overall I had a very good stay.
