Close enough to train station that we could walk with luggage, but yet not too close to where we felt unsafe. It was a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum and Trevi fountain. Great location for us."

They supplied us with plenty of water and always offered us coffee. The room was comfortable and clean and I loved looking out at the courtyard to see the palm trees and lemon trees. It was a great neighborhood and so close to the Vatican and other sites- very walkable . We would definitely stay at the San Pietro Boutique rooms again!"
