This place was very convenient to us, as we were visiting the Vatican , we picked it mostly because it was close. It was about a 5 minute walk! There are plenty of restaurants nearby including a Mexican place in case you get tired of pasta and pizza. We actually walked most of Rome, to the Colosseum twice, be aware that you are not in the middle
of Rome, but we prefer the walking for exercise. You are not far from Castel Sant’Angelo, or the Pantheon. Overall we think this place is great, especially if the Vatican is your main interest.
