Sara's place was the perfect place for my husband and I to slow down a bit after a 2 week tour of Italy and for our young adult son to join up with us. Easy to grab a bite to eat right out the door, finer restaurants and gelateries within walking distance, easy location for walking into the city i.e. Campo De Fiori ( great farmers market in the mornings) taxi stop, and fun lively entertainment. We stayed on a Sun and Mon night in Oct. and it was pretty lively with music and big crowds. You could hear the sounds of the crowd and nearby neighbors while in the living room portion, so if using this as a sleeping area, you may consider ear plugs , if you're sound sensitive. By the way the fold out couch is very comfy as is the main bed. We didn't find sounds overly loud or to go too late and thought it added to the charm. We could not hear anything in the main bedroom. We would definitely stay again. One other thing to add, we let Sara know what time we were leaving in the morning and a taxi magically appeared as we opened the door. Saved us from schlepping our luggage on cobblestone bricks to the taxi which was a block or 2 away :)
