Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We can't get enough of this apartment's prime location in the Borgo Vittorio area. Just a five-minute stroll from St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, while being ten minutes on foot from the Ottaviano Metro stop, you'll be all set up for a fuss-free sightseeing trip. Inside, both bedrooms are equipped with en-suite bathrooms which will help to speed mornings along. Just keep in mind that the kitchen lacks an oven or a hob, so it's only suitable for preparing light bites. That said you're in the heart of Italy, so eating out will definitely be on the cards here. It's also worth noting that you'll need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the apartment.

Home truths
This home is located on the sixth floor of an apartment building, with a shared entrance and lift access. However, the lift only takes you up to the fifth floor, so you'll need to climb up a flight of stairs to reach the entrance of the flat.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Bath towels aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own.
Please keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

Over the next 2000 years, his modest tomb would evolve into St Peter's Basilica, the centre of the Catholic Church and one of the most visited spots in Rome. The Vatican...
