The location is GREAT! Lots of restaurants, bars, gelato places close by. We loved our stay there. We walked almost to everything we wanted to see. The Vatican is just 10 min walking. Also the bus stop is really close. The room is as described, clean, spacious, and with a lovely view of the castle from the window. When in Rome, I highly recommend Alessandro's place to stay! Oh and he was very kind and let us leave our bags there after the check out. Thanks!!
