This little place was a good base for us to explore Rome. As previous reviewers said, it's small but she makes great use of space. Providing breakfast items was a nice touch. The neighborhood is quiet with some good little restaurants and cafes on your walk toward town. It taks about 10-15 minutes to reach the Vatican. We walked a lot in Rome- something like 16-18 miles per day! Of course you can take metros and busses if that sounds like too much. I think the nearest metro was about 10 minutes away. We needed to walk off all the pizza and pasta we were eating so we only used the metro twice in 5 days.
Orietta was very nice and immediately responsive to our questions before and while we were there!
A good tip: I recommend downloading directions on your google maps while you have wifi. Zoom into your map so if download all the street names of the area that you can use without data. Get directions from the nearest metro (lepanto or ottaviano)
