Enrico was very helpful in providing bus directions to the hotel for my boyfriend who was coming from southern Italy by train. Although it required a little rescheduling for him to make it there by the 9pm check-in time, he was happy to make it in time to do some exploring before I arrived the next morning. It was also really nice to have free internet access during our few nights there although we had to go into the hallway to get a signal. Having the bus so close made it easy to get around although we wound up walking most of the time (bring comfy shoes and be careful on the stairs down as they can be a bit slippery). It was nice not to have to stay by the train station, but to know that it was easy enough to get to when it was time for us to leave for Florence.
In the evening, that area seemed to quiet down considerably, so on the way back, you may want to grab water or whatever you'll need before crossing the Ponte Cavour. One thing that there's no shortage of in Rome is places to eat though; my boyfriend went out and found some of the best pizza I had on our whole trip on my first night there when I was too tired to go out. I only truly came to appreciate the neighborhood that we were in on our last night in Rome, when there was no availability at Antiqua Roma and we had to stay near the train station where the streets are much more hectic and filled with tourists (although you can never truly escape us).
We had a nice double room with a balcony and an en suite bathroom, which was great. Enrico let us leave our bags in the hallway for a few hours after checking out (the check out is a little early at 10am), which was helpful although then we did not have access to a bathroom. Even though there are bathrooms in the hallway, they are for the rooms, so there's no communal restroom to use, FYI. Others have mentioned the street noise, which was there, but not much of a problem for us. Waking up to the sounds of an Italian argument and some horn honking was oddly entertaining and just a good reminder to get out there and start exploring. The shutters completely darkened the room so if not for the noise, I may have slept through the whole beautiful morning. I'd definitely stay there again.
Room Tip: Ask for an en suite bathroom, but don't be dismayed if you can't get one.
