Very clean and safe neighborhood. Couple of blocks from the Vatican. Alessandro is a great host that makes sure you are comfortable. Saturday was a Farmers Market that we loved going through. So many fresh veggies, fruits, and meats. Lots of little restaurants nearby. The window overlooks a very busy street but you get used to it quickly, especially after touring the city all day and exhausted. I would definitely recommend Alessandro's place for your stay in the Eternal City!
