This is a great location--it is within walking distance to ancient Rome and the Vatican (although a bit longer of a walk there, about 35 minutes, but we expected a lot of walking while in Rome). It's also right outside of a metro, which we did not take advantage of because we enjoyed walking. We stayed in this area to experience "living like a local" and we got that vibe here. It's close by to a lot of restaurants in the Trastevere area as well as great local bars that locals were hanging out at. Right across the Tiber River is the Jewish Ghetto which was fun for me and my husband to explore. Paola was accommodating and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. As shown in the pictures, the shower is quite small so just keep that in mind but we made it work! Would stay again.
