I am proud of myself. It has been years since I have been in Rome, but I took one look at "Borgo S. Spiritu" and thought "wow! That sounds close to St. Peter's!" and then I saw your note! :)
Now who could possibly mind hearing the bells of San Pietro all night?
Plus, it can't be more disruptive to a good night's sleep than the dysfunctional seagulls that screech all night in the vicinity of Centro Minozzi. And after a couple of nights I'd completely tuned them out. :)
Raph, that's hailarious! Note to readers: some of these places are dusty/filthy and haven't been cleaned in ages so bring slippers!
Hello!
My experience has been that when you backpack through a country, hostels and "bed and breakfasts" are a nice place to spend the night. And if you choose wisely there are quaint places that are cheap.
If your planning a more long term stay in Rome though, it would be cheaper to avoid hotels and just rent a vacation apartment. They are more affordable, and you can even cook your own food. I found this site useful if you want to rent an apartment. http://www.110apartments.com/new/en/search/italy/?_o=town
I hope this helps!
