Our stay at this cottage was great! The location is debatably unbeatable. It feels safe, especially with the gate for the complex. If you like a hipper / younger neighborhood that’s walkable with lots of cool / delicious restaurants and bars this is the spot. If you don’t like cities and want a glossy, commercial, touristy neighborhood then this is not for you. It’s away from a lot of the more touristy parts of Rome. We took cheap cabs out to a lot of the monuments and then would walk back (about 30 min. to the Vatican or Colosseum). Maria & Roberto were great at communicating with us and left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. They had a handy booklet to answer a lot of our questions and it contained a lot of great restaurant recommendations that were really the highlight of our trip! It was nice to come “home” to a quieter slice of the city after a long day of sight-seeing and be able to take a short walk to any number of great restaurants!
