Excellent location and an apartment with the character. Apartment is literally a stone throw from the St. Peter Basilica. Chiara was very helpful and always available. Apartment is comfortable and the door lock easy to use. Nice terrace - just need to be careful not to bump the head at the low beam going there. The neighborhood, Borgo Pio street, has a lot of restaurants and some mini-marts, so it is very convenient. We did not have any problems with the staircase but it might be a challenge if suitcases are heavy. Shower is new and water pressure is good for a 15 century structure. Toilet was always on a verge of getting clogged even if you do not put any paper there. It did clogged finally, on the last day. Overall it was a good place to stay
