They allow you to store luggage, told us some good spots to eat. We returned less than an hour and our room was ready early. Able to put bags in room and literally walk across the street and up the steps to the Vatican! Fantastic location. It is NOT a real touristy area but nothing there is except the Vatican. "

"I have stayed two times in this place, the service has been excellent. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The place has been exactly was I was looking for, very close to metro stations and walkable to the Vatican Museums entrance. If you’re planning to visit other attractions in Rome I would recommend to use the metro instead of walking; cipro station is just 2 blocks away from here, tickets are very affordable and you can go to all the main area in just minutes.
