Down to a few hotel choices in Rome
Please help me decide between: Farnese, Genio, Santa Maria, and Casa di Santa Brigida. I have taken your advice and changed from staying in the Vatican area. I am 50, female, traveling alone for four days in Rome in Nov. Thanks for input.

I don't know the convent, but I would stay (have not stayed personally, so please keep that in mind) at any of the others--all have good locations. You might prefer the Genio or Farnese if this is a first visit. Are the prices all similar?
Have a great trip! I will be be in Rome in December with my mom--we love the Eternal City and I hope you do too.

We stayed at Hotel Genio on our 2003 trip to Rome. It is very close to the Piazza Navonna which was what I wanted. There is an inexpensive "hole in the wall" type retaurant right on the corner, just a few feet away that was great and inexpensive. We stayed there when we arrived in Rome and the night before we flew out. The 1st room was a bit smokey, but not the 2nd. Also, a great buffet breakfast.

The Santa Maria might be in an area that you would find very young; sort of like the party area of Rome. As a female in her 50s, I don't think I would like it there on my own.
I have nothing against young people, and wish I was one myself, but that area is crowded with young folks out for a good time.

I stayed around the corner from the Genio at Res. Canali. The area is well lit and right on the main area near P. Navona. It is a nice safe area at night.
I like the little restaurant connected to Genio too, good pizza and soups. Not gourmet but locals stop in every evening, I ate there a few times after some tiring days.
