Oh my goodness! I don’t know where to begin. First of all, I obviously had seen photos of this apartment when I made the reservations, but when Francesca met my husband and myself there and took us onto the balcony for the first time, the view absolutely took our breaths away. The photos do not do it justice. And that was just the beginning. The size of the apartment was much larger than we had expected. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and the rooms were all decorated beautifully. It was magical waking up to in the view of the Vatican before even getting out of a very comfortable bed.
The accommodations were fabulous but the experience didn’t stop there. Francesca makes a wonderful traditional breakfast and serves it every morning. We chose to have ours served on the patio where the table is nestled cozily among floral shrubs and small orange trees.
The apartment is for sure a bit further away from the main center than we had expected, but it was still close enough to walk. I am 65 years old and the walk was not only easily doable, but also very enjoyable. And truthfully, the distance meant that we were away from the noise in the evenings and able to sit on the balcony and soak in the peaceful surroundings and the unbelievable lights of the Vatican at night.
I would highly recommend this Airbnb. The apartment is charming, the view is magnificent and the host, Francesca is friendly, charming, and incredibly accommodating.
