Location, location, location! We walked everywhere, the Coliseum, Circus Maximus, cat sanctuary, etc. The area is packed with restaurants and gelato and it seems like every night along the river (go down the steps) there are hundreds of shops, carnival games, bars and restaurants set up in tents (we only stayed 4 days in June so I can't promise that happens all the time, and I don't know what it's called.) The hosts were incredibly nice and the place was cool and clean. I will stay here again for sure.
