Explorers, Not TouristsDine like locals

“Relais de L'Opera is in the Monti area of Rome, which is lovely with many dining options away from the very touristy areas.”

Safe HavenTriple-secured room

“Reserved at last minute when other plans fell through, so limited hotel options. Attentive staff, extremely safe due requirement that key was used 3 times to get into room, close to casual restaurants.”
