Our stay at Emanuele's place was wonderful right from the beginning. He replied promptly to all of my questions before booking. We were concerned about stairs because my mother traveled with us and at check in Emanuele showed us how to bypass the stairs so she wouldn't have to climb them. The apartment was perfect. It was super clean & comfortable. We had the entire apartment to ourselves as I specified was necessary before final booking. Emanuele left us fresh fruit, orange juice, & plenty of bottled water in addition to maps, brochures, travel books, etc. Everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. He even checked in with us mid stay to see if we needed anything.
We took a shuttle from the airport that left on the opposite side of the train station that is directly in front of the apartment. We had to cross under the station & walk down the street but when we left, Emanuele suggested a car service that picked us up directly in front of his place (and it was cheaper than the shuttle for 3 of us).
The apartment is abut a 10 min walk to the Vatican (we walked slow). San Pietro train station in front of the apartment is a Regional Train, not a Metro. So be sure to check witch line you want before getting on.
All in all it was a wonderful trip and Emanuele provided a great home base. We highly recommend the apartment & will definitely stay again when we return to Roma.
