Location was excellent once you get past the enormous amount of graffiti everywhere and streets full of cigarette butts and trash. Trash disposal is bizarre in Rome, but after a few days you get used to it. The rooftop terrace was great, but be careful sitting on the lounge chairs. Overall, Rome was disappointing in that the sites everyone wants to see are so crowded that you can't get near them. Trastevere is a great area away from some of the crowds. However, be sure to make reservations at any popular restaurant.
