Overall: Great location. Quiet street with several shops and eating places close at hand. Handy to the Vatican area and bus service is nearby once you figure that system out. Enjoyed this place. No complaints of any kind. The manager was very helpful and interested in making our stay a good one. Enjoyed Most: Its location. We were able to feel like we were a part of urban life in Rome from the first day there. Enjoyed Least: Kitchen could have been better equipped for meals but that was certainly not a big deal. Surrounding Area: We were literally right around the corner from St. Peter's Square but we also had several food stores and restaurants within a few feet of the front door. Tips or Restaurants: Just be aware that part of this area is not "touristy" and several close by restaurants were closed on Sunday and on Monday. There is a great little "deli" store just two or three doors to the right as you come out the front door. Good spot for bread, cheese, meat and wine. Directions: Since this is a city address and the best way to get there is by taxi, I don't know how you could do much better. I would emphasize the fact that there are taxis that have permits and those that don't. Go to the taxi stand and get the permit taxi to avoid any surprises on fares. Check In Out: Things went smoothly but a working phone would be a great help. Our host - Stefano - was very gracious and very helpful. Really went out of his way to help us with advice, directions and tips about Rome and the local area.
