The first
advice the tour guide will give you is to go on foot down the noble Via della
Lungara and visit in the botanical garden the section for the blind. The second advice is to use like a private taxi at only one euro the very tiny electric bus 116. It’s the most precious for tourist, it will bring you to the night life of Campo de' Fiori, Navona Square and via Veneto. The 116 bus stop takes you to most the destinations you must see. The bus 116 brings to almost everywhere but not everwhere because a life time is not enough to see Rome, this way you can also save all the taxi money. |

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US: Reviews of Vatican and Parking B&B taken from our page on the Airbnb website, click here to view the page. The B&B is presented with our American name: "B&B sees Pope's window": Paul “Laura is a 68 year old ex Alitalia stewardess and registered Rome tour guide. I found her charming, with good English. Laura has a commitment to service and making your stay enjoyable. Laura's knowledge of Rome (and its bus connections) allows her to double as a tour adviser. If you want to get somewhere, she can tell you how to do it efficiently. The BNB has parking (although I didn't use it), as it is next to a large underground lot. There are good bus connections within easy walking distance. Saint Peter's square is right across from the BNB. The room I had was quite pleasant, and was comparable to the hotel rooms I have seen in Rome. The bed was excellent. The BNB does have some stairs, although these amount to less than a full flight.” Mary “Laura is a fabulous hostess. We were severely challenged by the time change. We were supposed to be up for our request breakfast at 9 am and dragged ourselves in a 11 am. She was still there and made us breakfast! Plenty of food and enough to take out for a lunch on the go later. She is an excellent resource for all things Rome. She even took us to the ocean and to learn about her rental home there. It is very nice also. The Rome location was VERY clean- the queen room bed quite comfortable. She truly made our visit to Rome an excellent experience. Thanks for everything Laura!” Joanna “My family had a great time in Rome thanks to Laura. The room was as described, very clean, neat and quiet. The location is great for those who consider visiting Vatican as it's a 5 minute walk. There is a great restaurant -La Vittoria- downstairs and couple of good pizza places and coffee bars. Other areas of Rome are easily accessible by foot or bus. Laura took a great care of us providing us with an excellent breakfast and tips for visiting different parts of the city. It was our first time using Airbnb hosts and we are very pleased. I definitely recommend.” Thomas “Laura was attentive and caring and most helpful with the local know how (she is a retired guide with great experience and really good English), including in my case transport strikes and how to solve them when trying to get to the airport. The room was neat, clean and very comfortable and my stay was so enjoyable that I have to say that Laura and her accommodation can only be highly recommended. A very warm and positive experience which I plan to do again. Laura Thank You.” Dave “Laura is a retired tour guide and really knows her stuff. She was informative and spoke good English. The b and b was as described. It was clean and pleasant and had a good bathroom. Laura sat with us at breakfast most days and gave us information we asked for as well as her own tips and advice on buses, etc. The neighborhood is safe and very close to the Vatican--5 minute walk or less. Excellent bus connections, but it is possible to walk from there to most sites in central Rome. We'd stay with her again without question.” Pete “Laura mothered us like one of her own, making sure everything she did helped make our visit memorable to her city. And her home is located so convenient to St. Peters. Whenever we had a spare hour or two, we found ourselves walking across the street and enjoying another one of the sights the Vatican has to offer--even just sitting on the steps of St. Peters and watching people.” Lea “Our stay at Laura's home was enjoyable. The location would be especially convenient for travelers whose main purpose in Rome is the Vatican. For those who want to visit other historical or business areas, the main bus stop is also very near the house and Laura's past experience as a travel guide is helpful. We traveled in Europe for a month and the bed in Laura's "Queen" room is hands-down, by-far the most comfortable bed of our trip!” Julien “First time I used airbnb and I loved it... Laura is such a great human being and hostess. The location was perfect, price was fair, great breakfast, accommodations, clean, organized and very accommodating. I recommend to a friend in a heat beat.” Ellen “Laura V is my first airbnb experience and has a 5 star rating in my book. Every comment above is correct. I could not be happier with the location, price, bed, breakfast and room.” Linda “We were caught in a 'pickle' as our original host had to cancel. Laura was most accommodating and helpful! We originally booked a room for our two sons to stay for three nights while we stayed at a hotel out of town. As we were dropping them off we realized this is where we wanted to stay! Great location, private bath and limited use of kitchen. Right off Vatican bus stop so easy access to all sights. If you are coming to Roma to see the sights this is the place to stay!” John “It was a pleasure staying at Laura's place for 3 nights. She was very helpful directing us around town. We came by the Metro, but the bus is much closer. The room and bathroom were very clean, comfortable and the breakfast was good. The location is very near the Vatican with good nearby resturants. We would stay here again when in the area. RESERVATIONS: |
