Pepoli9 was so lovely - stylish modern decor, very comfortable, charming residential neighborhood out of the fray, friendly and helpful staff. If you want to stay right in the center of it all within steps of restaurants and sites and metro then this isn't for you, but if you prefer a peaceful respite to the touristy overrun parts of Rome and to see how real modern Romans live then this is your spot. There are still a couple bus lines around the corner and the hotel can call you a cab to pick you up. There is a nice, popular neighborhood restaurant a couple blocks away, a strip of restaurants, shops, bars & more buses ~15 mins walk away, and is just a 20-25 min walk north to the Colosseum. It was perfect for us.
