This is a perfect location for those who want to be closer to the Vatican. Lots of pros: the metro station and the Vatican are only a few minutes walk and there are a lot of good places to eat that are walking distance. If coming from the airport via Sit Shuttle bus, the stop is only a couple mins walk to Ivana’s place. What I like most about Ivana’s place is the Pam grocery store near by, which is only a block away. Ivana added some personal touches to her place including fresh fruits, pastries, shampoo, body wash, and coffee just to name a few. You won’t have issues contacting her as she promptly replies!
Now comes the cons: her apartment is located in the basement and is right in front of a bus stop. You could hear people’s conversations outside and sometimes people take the bus as late as midnight! So if you are a light sleeper, this might not be the place for you but if noise isn’t a big deal, then this is a great place. Although having a washer in the apartment is a bonus, this apartment doesn’t have a dryer with it. So you’ll have to hang your clothes to dry.
Other than what was said, it was a great stay for us!
