This is a great location to get on public transportation to anywhere in the city. The pictures are accurate. Vincenzo's mom checked us in and was very sweet, she made sure our kids had fresh milk and juice available. The colosseum is an easy walk from this location. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, many are less expensive than in the more touristy parts of the city. There's also a supermarket close by, so purchasing groceries for home cooked meals is very easy. Vincenzo provides plenty of towels and linens.
