I called Paulo as soon as we were in town and he let us in and kindly let us drop our luggage at the apartment before check in time which really helped us out a great deal. He was very nice and explained how everything worked in the apartment and we didn't have a single problem! There are some great little restaurants around and it is so quick and easy to walk to the Vatican. We had a great time and would definitely recommend his apartment to anyone looking to stay near the St. Peter's. At the end of our stay we simply walked two blocks to the metro station and went straight to the Roma terminal!
