This is THE place to experience Rome like a local. A bodega is downstairs (helpful for beer, toilet paper, water, etc). A 7 min walk to the Vatican. Great view of Castle of St Angelo. Hailing a taxi is a challenge - the phone # to call is automated and only in Italian - the host hailed us a taxi on the last day which was super helpful. Closing the patio doors in the bedrooms made the noise disappear at night - and thank heaven for the air conditioning! I would easily stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to feel Roman for a few days!
