The Vatican Flat apartment was absolutely perfect. We loved the location - it's a wonderful neighborhood - with a collection of Department stores - street vendors - cafes - bistros - ristorante every few feet . There is a cafe 2 doors away and just around the corner . A wonderful restaurant 2 blocks away and numerous others even closer that we didn't have time to try. We were 2 blocks from the Vatican and could be at the ticket office in 5 minutes. Little grocery stores were1 block away in several directions. The streets have trees everywhere and it is quite lovely. The subway entrance was 3-4 blocks up the street and bus stops everywhere. Our host Emanuele was wonderful - he showed us with a map - which places we should try to include in our itinerary and shared some of Rome's history with us. He greeted us with a complimentary bottle of wine- offered to close a meal for us - and was always quick to respond if we needed any help. We ordered tickets on-line for the Vatican museum any we needed to print out a voucher and he directed us to a little print shop a few doors down where we could print them. We locked ourselves out of the apt. One day and he gave us instructions on where to go to get a spare set of keys - ( which was very close as well ) and made our trip virtually stress free. The apartment is stunningly beautiful - tall ceilings with ancient style brick ceilings. Large windows overlooking an interior courtyard which blocked out sounds of the city. The bathroom was vey large - the water pressure and plumbing excellent. The bed was very comfortable ( I wish I had it at home now ) a walk- in closet - lots of storage space . WiFi signal was very good . There is a foyer as you enter the apt. And the host even left umbrellas for us to use. The building itself was lovely. A giant wooden doors lets you into a large foyer with stained glass windows and iron scroll work over the next doors which have another lock into your section and then large stairwells which you can take or a small quaint but efficient old world European elevator which we loved also. The apartment gave us the true feeling of being in another world and time . I loved every minute there and was sorry to leave. I highly recommend this place and this host.
