For our family of 5 (all adult sized) it was a fantastic home base. We loved going to the Vatican whenever the mood hit us (even individually- close and safe area). And we took many walks over the Tiber into sights in Rome. And then found out how convenient it is to the bus and Metra when we wanted to go just a bit further. Manuela was very communicative and helpful. The one thing that would have crowned it off was if there was a couple more comfy chairs for gathering to chat together. But we made due in the front room just fine. There is a tiny elevator but mostly we walked up to the second floor.
