The surroundings are wonderful for those like me who wish to enjoy the city without having to see many tourists, and are ready to walk a bit, as it js beyond the tourist limit. In fact it is quite close to a bus stop, but buses in Rome are anything but frequent. It is not far from metro stations and is just a beautiful walk away from the Vatican and the old center. There are cheap restaurants, pubs and markets just around the corner.
The room is quite simple and small, but well furnished. To a student like me, it was more than enough. The air conditioning is life-saving in Rome's heat.
Stefano and his wife are quite tender, and were very considerate for all of my requests - not that I had many.
