The place was fabulous! Marco, Donatella's son, spent a good half hour orientating us with the neighborhood, telling us where his favorite restaurants, cafes and gelato stops were. They let us check in earlier than 2PM, which was great! The one thing I will say is that it is at least 20 minutes walk to the Colosseum on a road that has almost no shoulder for part of the way. We only made the walk once as it was quite scary. The metro stop is about a 10 minute walk so we opted to do that or take bus 87. If you want to be in the action of Rome, this is not your place as it is very much south. Even after getting to the Colosseum it is another 15-20 minute walk to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, etc. If you are looking for a beautiful, serene escape from the craziness of Rome after a long day of sightseeing this is your place!
