The terrace is really nice, there are a lot of cheerful plants and a great view of the roofs of other buildings. It's a large terrace and plenty of room to relax there. The location is good, a short walk to Monti and the stores and cafes in one direction, and a short walk the other direction to the Colosseum and the Forum. You can walk everywhere in Rome I think. Not far from the subway though we took the subway to Vatican and also to Rome Termini, although you could certainly walk from Rome Termini its probably a mile or less. Access to the trains is good in Rome because you can go everywhere by train we went to Antium to go swimming and Ostia Antica to see the ruins which are a bit more complete than the Forum. It is an attic (as described) so the ceiling is a little low on one side but there is plenty of room. Nice to be up high, 5 floors above Rome. The air conditioning worked well and was welcome. The cheapest food I found was at the PAM market 4 or 5 blocks away in Monti. There must be other cheaper places but didn't have time to look carefully. Watch out for the tourist traps for food, the prices and quality can vary widely, in tourist restaurants you can pay 10 euros for some very mediocre pizza, in a good local restaurant in Antium better pizza slice was 1.30 euros. That's about it. Nice terrace, good location, slightly low ceilings on one side.
