Alice’s place is perfect for relaxing in after walking around Rome. We walked on our first day to the Vatican which took an hour but you can get a bus. Just need to get a ticket in advance from a local shop or stall. Single bus tickets cost €1.50.
It’s a local area so you don’t get many tourist here. As it’s a local area, you’ll find nice restaurants (check Alice’s guide). It’s about a 30min walk to the Colosseum but you can get a bus also.
When we first got to the area, we saw a lot of graffiti so was worried it wasn’t a good neighbourhood but we soon got used to it and felt safe and comfortable. Great value for money.
