Cristina was a lovely host with great suggestions for food near the apartment (which was very helpful!) and she gave great advice on navigating the public transportation of Rome! The apartment has a beautiful courtyard and is in a quiet neighborhood - it is a great location and it really is very close to the entrance to the Vatican Museum. There is a grocery store across the street and excellent restaurants near by. The apartment is very close to a metro stop and was a perfect home for us while in Rome.
