The owner was very sweet and accommodating. Gave us a map and directed us where to go and which buses would take us through Rome. 10 minute walk to the Vatican, only about a 10 minute bus ride to the Ancient Ruins and Colosseum. The neighborhood that we were in, looked kind of sketch. First initial thought was that the taxi had played us, and dropped us off in the middle of no where. You have to go inside of an apartment building, taking the elevator up one floor. The rooms are definitely clean and as it looks in the photos. The good news is, there is a bus stop that is right in front of the Hotel, so if you are out late at night, you need to only walk about 20 feet to your front door that is gated and secure. Another downside is the hotel staff is only there until the late evening, so if you need anything after hours, you're on your own.
