Purpose of the "Passetto di Borgo", was to allow the Popes to take refuge inside the Castle in case of danger and at the same time have a bastion that would allow better control of the district. Fantastic and suggestive corners, historic buildings, squares with wonderful fountains.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It is an older building so as expected there was a lot of street noise (even on the 4th floor) because the windows are all single pane. The biggest concern was that the water temperature in the showers fluctuated from cold to extremely hot. This would be a safety concern if I was traveling with children who might be scalded with the hot water. Otherwise the apartment was fine for our stay. Interior could use some refreshing and updates but we were there to enjoy the city, not stay in the apartment so it was fine.

Be prepared for the stairs! :)
Lovely property within easy walking distance of the Vatican. Just be aware, the stairs are no joke. I personally appreciated the hike as it seemed to justify my 1-2 gelatos a day while we were in Rome, but others might not. Well-appointed as far as kitchen needs and basics. However, being used to renting in the States, there are a few things to note: there were only shower products in one of the two bathrooms, we ran out of toilet paper during our stay (there were 1 1/2 rolls in each bathroom and we were there for 5 nights), and you are literally given the exact number of pillows, towels and blankets for the number of people staying (i.e. one pillow on a queen-sized bed if there is only one person staying in that room and one bath towel/hand towel per person). Those aren't things that would keep me from staying again, just providing a friendly heads up!

Great Stay in Roma - convenient and comfortable
Excellent vacation rental - I would stay again! So convenient to all that Rome has to offer - this is very close to the Vatican, and restaurants are a stone's throw away. A slight hot water issue in one of the bathrooms, but no matter - we were in Italy!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette ville extraordinaire qu'est ROME, la situation de l'appartement est idéale pour tout visiter à pied (si l'on est marcheur), l'appartement est très propre, l'accueil de DANIELA très professionnel, toutefois, afin de profiter au mieux de cet appartement, quelques petits détails sont à noter (manque de couvertures supplémentaires, manque de verres supplémentaires ...) bon séjour tout de même ..
