Many reviews have mentioned how great the location of Valentina's place is. Let me elaborate. We like to be able to grocery shop in local places and have a few meals in our Bed and Breakfast ... and we like to be close to restaurants and attractions. Valentina's apartment is literally across the street from one great restaurant ... there are two next door, a wonderful gelato place, AND! A full grocery store -- with wine -- all within steps of her front door! If you walk a few blocks -- there are more restaurants than you could possibly try in one visit. We like to walk as much as possible ... the Vatican was an EASY walk ... we were there for the Canonization of St. John Henry Newman. We must have crossed the Tiber five times, to locations on the other side, all walking. The apartment is small, but that's what one expects in a big city apartment. Bigger than many we've stayed in! The kitchen is super functional and the bathroom is updated and a dream. Plenty of closet space and the bed is very comfortable. Honestly -- there is a reason Valentina is super host category. She also has many guide books and a folder with good information. We felt very safe coming and going late at night -- the streets were lively, much like being in NYC. Plus -- it's a really cool old building she's in, with friendly neighbors. Only confusion is that her directions say it's on the first floor, which technically it is, but you have to walk up a few short flights of steps -- not hard or far, but just confusing at first. There is a lift. AND OH! A super nice AC -- which we actually needed in October ... it's quiet and very efficient. I personally loved the windows looking out to the courtyard -- where you could see wash hanging, plants in baskets, and chairs -- it felt like a movie! Whatever you do ... be sure to see the Vatican and St. Peter's lit up at night -- oh my! A short walk ....
