<p>We were warned by website to stay away from the train station…well we stayed at a hostel one block from the station, and it was fine, so much security around, we felt very safe, we walked around till 11 at night, weren’t bothered (and I had two very pretty teen girls with me)
we found great cheap places to eat</p>
<p>I would recommend taking one of the double decker tour buses at the train station to go around Rome…it gave us a great feel for the city, and we saw things we might not have been able to get to by foot, we walked everywhere, saw almost everything, </p>
<p>Our favorite excursion was looking for this little theater ride thing that gave the history of Rome in 30 minutes, it was pouring rain, i mean to the ankles, we got drenched, saw the show, it was sunny when we came out, and while walkng, looking for food, voila, Trevi Fountain!! That is how Rome was, something great around every corner…</p>
<p>i will find where it stayed, it was great…we actually stayed in a satellite facility about three blocks from the main hostel, which we used for cooking, etc</p>
<p>Very pleasant</p>
<p>Rome was HOT, but not awful…we would tour in the mornings, about two, go back to hostel, nap, shower, pick up, and then go out again around 5 till late</p>
<p>He willhave a great time</p>
