Carmen was incredibly helpful giving us tips about Rome. The place is a 15 minute walk from the Termini station - just an FYI that it's walkable with suitcases but there's a lot of cobblestones! We walked at night and there were lots of people around, though the area right around the station was a little deserted. Once we got to the San Lorenzo district, it was much livelier. Lots of nice cheap places to eat around, fun bars. The room was very comfortable, nice clean shared bathrooms with fancy massage jets. It's like a little mini-hostel, with your own room.
