this place is right at the heart of "old town" Rome. Walking distance to everything. In a nice, seemingly safe district, where the locals clearly all know each other. good restaurants and transportation nearby. The A/C is lovely and necessary in the summer. The place itself is (for Europe), gigantic. We weren't able to use the terrace much, on account of the yellow-jackets, but our kids weren't very brave or else we would have. (the bees wanted our food, badly!)
