Notes
the location of a hostel/hotel is veyr important and this one really fit the bill. Very near all the important places to see. Air-conditioned and can fit 4 people in a room with attached bath so that's a good one. the only bummer is that there's a cap on how much u can eat for breakfast. they sort of allocate how much u can eat exactly. strange.

I guess it's all about trade-offs. This place is freakin' cheap but that's pretty much what u get. VERY far away from main town and shuttle bus is a ripoff. Apparently no curfew but last shuttlebus makes sure u have to come back before a stipulated time. The good thing is that it's very safe and sleeping in a tent isn't too bad cos it's a new experience and hot showers are there.

There's lots to see and do in Rome. The Trevi fountain, spanish steps, pantheon, colleseum although the colleseum wasn't as impressive as it looks on my desktop wallpaper.

And it is not really that safe I think. I saw a case of pickpocketing in the subway. :-(
