I had a really great stay at Alex's apartment. Check in was super easy. The apartment is beautifully decorated and super clean. My favorite part was the large outdoor terrace which was great to have a cup of coffee in the mornings or a glass of wine in the evenings. Alex has stocked the place with things you may need during your stay (ie) hair dryer, kitchen essentials, etc. There is also air conditioning which may be important to you if you're staying in the summer. The apartment is a five minute walk to the Vatican. It's about a 25 minute walk to the city center but that was perfect for me because I wanted to explore the city on foot while I was there and see the neighborhoods not just the touristy sites. The apartment is also a super close to the subway (5 min walk) and plenty of buses (under a 3 min walk). Super convenient to get to anywhere you need in the city. The neighborhood also has plenty of stores, fruit shop, markets, etc. I recommend trying the pizza next door at La Ruota. It was delicious and the service great! Alex was a great host. Always available to answer my questions and very friendly. I would stay here again!
