The location is perfect. Most historical places are within walking distance in all directions, including Vatican City. The unit is behind an outer locked door that provides added security and if you are a single female that adds some reassurance on safety. My only issue was that there is absolutely no cell service inside the room (to somewhat be expected inside these old stone buildings) so you have to depend on wifi. If Wi-Fi goes down, you are completely cut off. Ugo was excellent with communication and checked in regularly to see if I needed anything. He also recommended a hair salon nearby that ended up being great (absolutely lovely ladies at Brigida)!
