Manuale and his Mother made us feel extremely welcome, like we were family. The apartment in person was much nicer than the pictures on the listing. We were 6 people and there was lots of room for us all, every couple had their own bathroom so it make it quick to get ready in the morning for touring. The area was perfect, just meters away from the train station and 10 min walk to the Vatican, can't get much better than that. There was no need to take a taxi at all.
