True there’s no air conditioning but there’s a fan that keeps you cool. Local eateries are right down the road (loved the pizza from Pizza e Kabab), along with a supermarket across the street, literally less than 5 minutes away. The metro (subway) is no more than 10 minutes walking distance. The shopping mall is about 20 minutes away if you like to shop, and Vatican City is 10-15 minutes away, for those of you who seek the pilgrimage to it. Overall great stay.
