The room is only a short walk (2-5min) from supermarket/restaurants/shopping centre and the metro. The area is local with not A huge amount going on. To get in to romes centre on the tram takes about 15min and we one day walked to the colosseum in just over half an hour.
The place itself was nice, shared with other guests but rooms were all lockable and private. Wifi didnt really work and got water ran out a few times but for us but we didn't need it as we spent our time enjoying a beer on the balcony.
Would recommend for a good budget stay.
