My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in April, 2007 and we had a wonderful experience. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood in Rome and is surrounded by nice gardens. We felt very safe in the area at all times. There is a tram stop just down the street from the property that will take you to the Metro station at the City Gates within minutes. From there you can walk or take the Metro anywhere you wish to go in Rome. Getting around Rome is very easy. Lia, the owner was extremely nice and helpful. She provided maps and information and even helped us map out a walking tour of Rome which we did our first afternoon. Within no time at all, we were at the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon etc. The rooms were nice and clean and the bathroom was great. It even had a full size tub/shower which is a rarity in Europe. Lia also provides a continental breakfast of croissants, toast with jams and your own espresso/cappucino machine which we took advantage of every morning. There is a good restaurant called Pizzeria Vignola just down the street that has good food and a local atmosphere. If you're planning to spend time in Rome I would definitely consider A Casa Di Lia for a great place to stay.
