Location is perfect for sightseeing Rome. A family traveling to Rome can't expect more. Yes there are some steps and you are in a city and there are cars and the occasional shout in the street but neither the stairs or the noise were in the least bit bothersome (OK, on the stairs you ARE going to be glad when you get to the top). The second bath is perfect for kids or normal adults. I wasn't going to fit my 200cm in the shower though. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.
