A nice apartment close to Saint Peters. My family of 5 was driving through Italy with Rome being one of our stops. Other stops included Venice, Positano and Bari. I thought this apartment was nice and while I did not get a chance to meet with Alessandra (the owner) communication was great. Air conditioning was important for us in the summer months and this apartment has it.

From the apartment we were able to hop on the 916 bus which took us right into Piazza Venezia (a 10 - 15 minute ride) and we started our walking tour from there.
Speaking for myself and three boys we were fine in the area. My wife was a bit of a different story. For her, the graffiti around the area was associated with some of the tougher neighborhoods back home. Upon arrival we met with Rogers who assured us we were completely safe and we were.
Internet access was provided through a Wifi card and as you can image with kids this is truly needed for them to stream video , especially when television is limited to Italian channels.
Unrelated to the apartment. One note about the Vatican in Rome if you are planning a visit. We booked a tour to cut the lines and I am glad we did because unknown to us the Vatican was closed on the two prior days, once for a holy day of obligation and the second for the pope celebrating mass which happens every Wednesday so you can imagine the people trying to get in after these two closures. Watch your dates. One other item of concern that we learned from our tour guide was the Vatican is allowing 25,000 people in per day which I thought was crazy until I learned that number will increase to 30,000 next year. I doubt I will see the Vatican again in my lifetime but if I do I will be sure to schedule it off peak tourist.
