Great location on Gianicolo Carini Hill! We were thrilled to take bus which was so efficient and convenient at all hours from early morning to midnight and later. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and Phil was incredibly responsive to all of our needs and inquiries. Practically speaking, bus lines were an easy 5 minutes wal from Carini: line 44 to Santa Venezia plaza; 75 to the main sites, stopping in front of the Colosseum and reaching to and from the Termini. And, just 10 minutes bus 870 to get to the edge of Vatican City, with 5 min wal to St. Peters. Fantastic! An early 7:30 arrival was magnificent to enter without lines, then 8:20 lineup without tickets to Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel got us in by 9:15. What an all around wonderful visit that was largely influenced by our stay at Carini Guest house. We are so pleased to be staying again at the end of our trip before flying home.
