This apartment was just such a gem. The location is not downtown, but so very close to the Vatican, which was exactly what I wanted (had tickets to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel). Walking distance to the Vatican and St. Peter´s Square and from there super easy to get downtown by Metro. The apartment is such a rare find, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed and wonderful air conditioning.The patio with gorgeous flowers and lots of privacy was the perfect setting after a long, exciting day in Rome. The local supermarket just on the bottom of the steps provided the perfect evening setting on the patio with local wine, cheese and peace and quite. I can highly recommend staying there away from the noise of this beautiful city. I would definitely come back.
