• Martina from Italy (9/10)

  It was all very nice, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the owner very accommodating.
  
  Some useful info: the apartment is on the third floor (I think, can't remember) with a very small and beautiful old-style elevator to take you up. The shower is also small, so this might not be the best choice for bigger travelers.
  It is a 5/10 minute walk to the most convenient bus stops, and you can also walk straight to the entrance of the Vatican Museums.
