We were in Rome really in transit to other places in Italy, looking for a place convenient to the railroad, not really for the highlights of Rome. This place is incredibly convenient to the Termini, literally across the street. What we hadn;t fully appreciate was how easily from this spot we could get to anywhere in Rome. The taxi stand is right there, as is the Hop on/off bus, the regular bus, and the Metro. We knew this was not a destination place for food, but the desk at Ciao told us about a great Roman style restaurant in the are very popular with the locals. La Familia was so good and authentic we ate there twice (only Americans in the place, all locals otherwise) . What can I say - the staff were great, warm and friendly. Nothing fancy, but a good clean room, relatively quiet considering the location, and way better than we were expecting. We'll stay here again. Not for everyone, no restaurant, gym, pool etc. but perfect for our needs.
