Elvio is a terrific host! He gave of his time very generously to offer great information about what to visit, where to eat, how to get about and what to do (and how to make proper Italian coffee...!). The flat is spotlessly clean and has lots of character. The bed is comfortable and the area pretty quiet. The view from the balcony is exactly like the photo and in less than five minutes you're in St Peter's Square... The flat is also very near San Pietro station which I'd recommend using to get to and from Fiumincino airport (rather than the bus to the Vatican).
