You feel like you’re part of the history of the city, perched high (steep steps high) above a lovely Campo de Fiori square close to the market and more lively authentic bars and restaurants than you’d ever need. We heard choirs practicing and a dawn chorus of Roman garbage collectors! A perfect base to explore the city on foot. Unless you’re disabled, have major luggage (those steps and the minimal storage space) or claustrophobic (it’s tiny…but really nicely laid out and decorated).
