Excellent place to stay . We went to watch our daughter swim in the European Masters Swimming . We wanted somewhere which was local and this was perfect . A 15 minute walk to the Vatican . Easy walking to the Swimming. Doesn't look pleasant from the outside but the room and service was excellent . Cafes and restaurants locally and if you want to shop , all easy walking . Definitely use again if in Rome .
