This room was a great base camp for visiting Rome! Alessandro took the time to get us up to speed on the building and neighborhood as well as highlighting some fun areas and neighborhoods in the city. There are a number of buses that stop quite close that will take you out to various parts of the city and a subway station about a 10 minute walk away. We were able to stay on budget thanks to the complete kitchen and a grocery store about 2 blocks away. The neighborhood is busy but clean and felt very safe, it's a mix of primarily residential on side streets and commercial ground floor with some residential above on the main streets. There is an elevator in the building but it is manually operated which means that if anyone accidentally leaves the car doors open, you'll be stuck taking the stairs. This did happen to us once, it wasn't the end of the world but it may have been more steps than some people would prefer (4th floor with approx. 15 foot ceilings).
