Pros:
1. Very clean
2. Air Conditioning!! This was so important since we visited in June and the temperature was around 35C/95F every day. We would come home and relax after a long day of walking, which brings me to the next pro…
3. Walking distance to everything! Nothing is more than 30 minutes walking distance. We were able to plan our trip so we saw a few key spots every day just walking
4. Some amazing restaurants around he corner! We had many good drinks and pasta. And over the bridge (about 10 minutes walk) is Campo De Fiori which has even more restaurants and night life!
5. Lole is very kind and wants you to have a good stay
6. Washing machine came in handy for the hot days
Cons:
1. Tiny shower. Wasn’t a huge problem for us, but if you are not skinny it might be uncomfortable
2. No dryer, although this is common for this part of Europe. If you’re American it might be weird, but they do hang their clothes up outside here
Tips:
1. Book everything in advance! We thought it would be fine because a lot of things are free to see, but sometimes there can be a long line for things like the Vatican and the Colosseum. In the hot summer, this can be hard to deal with. But if you don’t mind waiting it might not be a problem because you’ll save 20€ that you would have spent reserving. We waited maybe an hour for the Vatican but paid for a colosseum tour and almost were not able to because we only found out you could book it and get in fast after we were already in Rome. So do some googling!
2. Learn the public transportation! It’s cheap and quick! Although it can be super crowded. I mean suuuper crowded.
3. Take the train from the airport to here and save 30€ per person. Follow the instructions on this page
Overall, a great stay! 5/5 for us :)
