My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Valentia's apartment. We arrived before check in to a very wet and rainy Rome. As the apartment was being cleaned we couldn't check in til a bit later, but we could drop our bags off. We were met by a friendly guy with 2 large umbrellas so we could go and grab a bite to eat. I thought this was a really lovely and kind gesture. The apartment is 5 mins from the vatican, 5 mins from the metro. There are 2 gluten free restaurants within walking distance from the apartment also. The apartment was clean and had plenty of towels, sheets, glasses etc. We felt like we were at home. One downside is the neighbour has a noisy dog and if you're a light sleeper I recommend taking some earplugs! There's a lift but the apartment is on the 1st floor so we didn't use it. There's a bakery just around the corner and a carrefour express 5 mins away (this supermarket stocks a small gluten free selection also!). The metro brings you everywhere with ease, but we also walked from the apartment to the Spanish Steps, trevi, pantheon etc.
