A wonderful woman met us to help check us in. She showed us how to use the metro lines and how to get to the best sites. Our room was very hotel-like, private room but a common area with a couch and some other amenities shared with other guests. It was very clean and roomy and almost a perfect experience; the walls are pretty thin and we were woken up at 2am our first night by rowdy neighbors and then 7am the following night/morning by another yelling couple. I have to say though, Giulio quickly responded to my text asking him to tell them to quiet down. This was the only problem we encountered. Overall, my friends and I recommend this place! Very close to Vatican, safe, and easy to navigate around the city!
