Sandra from United States (10/10)
Barbara is an exceptional host as always! This was our third year staying at Borgo Pio 51 (we go every year to Rome) and we are very happy with the apartment as it is very comfortable with 2 bedrooms and a spacious living and dining room and 1 full bath and 1 guest bathroom. It is 14 minutes walk to St Peter's. Barbara met us at check-in to give us the keys and the apartment was ready when we arrived. I like the easy check-in upon arrival after a long flight.
Thank you Barbara for making our stay at your apartment very comfortable and enjoyable!Jacqueline from United States (9/10)
