The property is very close to restaurants and Vatican. Being with old parents and child its very easy and accessible by walk going to Vatican (10-15 minutes walk with Senior and child) .
Apartment is wonderful. All the the things you need are available and very easy to reach out to the property owner if needed anything. The terrace is excellent- good view of the St Peter’s Basilica Dome. Worth the money. Overall excellent,Carolyn from United States (10/10)
Within walking distance to Vatican and many restaurants
Lou from Singapore (10/10)
From the get-go, Ilaria has been very helpful and responsive. Always ready to offer her help to ensure our stay was going to be comfortable.
The apartment is nicely located no more than 5 minutes from St. Peter's square. It is also possible to walk to the Vatican Museum as we did.
There is a nearby Carrefour, small grocery stores, and a lot of food options. Loved the snacks that Ilaria put in the apartment for us.
As for the apartment itself, it is so cozy and had a lot of things we needed during the stay. Kitchen complete with an induction cooker, fridge, coffee maker, there is also a washing machine and a lot of space to hang clothes. The outdoor furniture to enjoy the sun or the windy weather. Favourite part is the terrace with a view of St. Peter's dome.
Highly recommended!!Suvi_85 from Romania (10/10)
