- There are loads of them, depends on what part of town you're wanting to stay in. Do yourself the favor of booking in advance though so you don't have to waste your time while you're there, and make sure they don't have a curfew. I made the mistake of booking one once without asking if they had a curfew and as I was checking in signing the papers they said ''oh, by the way, we lock the front door at 1 am, if you're not back by then you can't get in until 7 am when we open it again''. Talk about a lame time to have to come back.
- Here are some interesting web sites to visit: www.romaturismo.it/v2/en/main.asp www.ciaorome.com www.aboutroma.com Buon viaggio!
- I use the venere.com site for booking hotels here in Italy. There are over 500 hotels for Rome in their database. You can use a map to sort for a particular district in the city you're interested in and then sort by price, guest rating,... http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/#o=defa... The site has a lot of reviews by previous guests to get an idea of what to expect from the area, the hotel, and the staff. Any of the central districts in Rome are convenient for sightseeing. The area around the Roma Termini train station is cheaper, but a little further from the sites. It is still walkable though, and there are good public transportation connections. The Trevi, Colosseo Foro Romano, Pantheon, Navonna, and Piazza di Spagna districts, as shown on the venere map, are all within easy walking distance of all the major sights. If you're looking for cheap and close to the attractions in Rome, a good option may be the Hotel Romano http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/kolosse... It's very close to the Forum & Colosseum and within walking distance of two metro stops and the Termini train station. You can use http://www.hostelbookers.com/booking/ind... for options on hostels. I can't recommend any because I don't use them. Another option you might consider is accomodations at a convent or monastery in Italy. These tend to be some of the best lodging bargains available. There are a number of them in Rome. see: http://www.monasterystays.com/?show=page... or http://www.santasusanna.org/comingtorome... for information. My brother and his wife stayed in one and recommended it. A nephew and his wife also stayed in a convent in Rome and agreed it was a good experience.

- I suggest you a place with air conditioning (not expensive) is: http://www.mclink.it/com/travel... You have to be aware that Rome is more expensive during the high season and that the clima is perfect for travellers all the years long..... some suggestions: Rome is not dangerous at all and expecially by night you can feel really safe, but because you are a tourist, as in all the big cities, be careful in busses, metro, gypsies, and in crawded places). Because I am from Rome I never get pick pocketed. But I made the experience when I travel around I have my eyes wide open!!! Rome is also perfect in the summer (very hot), but you can go to the beach at daytime and enjoy the "estate romana" life. That's means that from June to august there are a lot of summer parties, concerts, park happenings, markets, art happenings and most of them are free. Look (not before may) for the program at http://www.estateromana.comune.roma.it/....
- I had good luck finding a nice place at this website: Homelidays.com
- look if there availability here: www.acj.it/tritone (sunny studio flat near the spanish steps)
