A perfect location for exploring Rome. 30 minute walk to Coliseum, Palantine hills entry and going the opposite way 30 minutes to Vatican City. Conveniently located close to the Tiber for lovely walks.
Did I mention the deck upstairs … glass of wine, a snack, perfect retreat at the end of the day (or any time of day)!
Literally across the way is Conad (clothing store but basement is a grocery store for your cooking needs). There is also a lovely bakery, cheese shop and charcuterie nearby (less than 5 minutes away). If you don’t want to cook, no worries just head towards Basilica Di Santa Maria In Travestere and you will find many options.
We did not have a car … so can’t speak to that but the public transit was perfect to bring us from the main train station to our location. Ciampino Airport required a cab (although there is a train/bus very economical) - definitely check the cost before entering the cab.
Your host is very easy to reach and has left a helpful manual to peruse.
