I was very privileged to be able to share my days in Rome with a great italian family. Scauzillo family is really warm and friendly! They even get me to try very succulent italian dishes. I felt like home. We shared meals, a little wine and we even went to visite some museums together.
The neighbourhood is really quiet. I never felt in danger even at night. You are at about 20 minutes by bus from Piazza Venetia and all the great attractions. You should plan in your budget the bus pass. (€ 1.50. Standard ticket, € 6.00. Daily ticket, €16.50. 3-day tourist ticket, €24.00. Weekly ticket).
The family made me also discover a great place for sugar addicts like me, Pompi, a very nice pastry shop where they sell (in my opinion) the best tiramisu in Rome (3.50 €). And it's right int the corner! Try the pistachio one. It is awesome!
The room is also great. It has a very comfortable bed and lots of room to put your clothing. The bathroom is big and very clean.
I strongly recommend you this place! Alessandro and the whole family are part of my great memories of Rome. Thanks!
