This was a great apartment. It was clean and well furnished. Gianni was great helping us get settled into the apartment as well. We really enjoyed our stay with only a few exceptions. This first of which is that this is not a Vatican apartment at all. Its a few subway stops and a good long walk away from the Vatican. It was very close to a subway station so that made it easier to see things throughout the city. The area was mostly native Italians and very few tourists so you can get a chance to see authentic Italy without the tourist trap stuff clouding that. With that said i think i would have preferred a closer apartment to anything really. The outside balcony was really nice but the view was not of anything great really. If i had to stay in Rome again i think i would choose a different place to stay. If you do stay here there is a really cool bar about a 100ft down the street where you can get an awesome breakfast and beer throughout the day as well as a great espresso.
