What a terrific location! Having the Metro so close was great! It was nice not being in a congested area. I was able to hop on the Metro or a bus to get just about anywhere. The walking distance wasn't bad at all! It was an easy walk to the Colosseum. I even walked to the Pantheon which provided me with some great sightseeing! There are a number of local restaurants in the immediate area as well as shops. I felt extremely safe during my stay. I took advantage of having a car service waiting for me at the airport, made things much easier after getting off an 8 hour flight (reasonable cost & service). The bed was comfortable, shower worked well, and I even had a huge window in my room to open & allow fresh air in.
