Had a short but memorable stay at Elvio's place. The proximity to the Vatican (you can see the dome of the basilica from the balcony of the kitchen!) makes it a perfect choice if you are coming to Rome and would like to be close to St. Peter's Square and all the wonderful other places around it. There is also a bus stop and it is close to the train if you want to explore other parts of Rome. What makes this place extra special though is the hospitality of Elvio and his parents -- they come in the mornings to prepare a thoughtful breakfast, check up on your needs, and help keep the place always clean. They really make you feel at home!
