the view from the picture was spot on. you can see the saint peter basilica from your bedroom and bathroom withdow. on the street are filled with Souvenir shops and restaurants with small food stops to grab water, alcohol and snacks if need be. and tour guides if you would like to do some guided tours/hop on hop off bus sight seeing. there are two laundry mats close by with drop off laundry service so you can explore the city. walking distance from train station roma S. pietro (9 min walk). the room is located on the third floor, bit of a hike but if that doesn't bother you then the view from room is worth it. also to note after 2 weeks of staying in different places in Italy this had the most comfortable bed we stayed in. host was understanding with some delays in our trip and very responsive towards our request. just reach out and communicate, you will get a fast reply.
