Hi! Has somebody stayed at the DemGuest House,located at Manfred Fanti Piazza.
I would like to know all you can tell about the area and Demguest House.
Your replies will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jayarep
There's a recent discussion about the area at:
http://forum.virtualtourist.com/discussion-539544-1-1-Travel-0-0-Rome-discussion.html
I have also stayed in the same area (quite nearby) and have had no problem with it. I walked around in the evening on my own without any bad feelings.
This guest house is in the same area as the other one about which you posted, so the replies on the thread linked above will be just as relevant.
There are reviews here:

oh lol Jane.... I was pointing the OP to his own previous discussion :-)
I know.... :-)
Be careful! There are security guards in the Sistine chapel constantly telling people to keep the noise down and NO PHOTOS. If you turn you flash off and are very, very discreet, you should get some of the fantastic ceiling.
Enjoy :-)
Women traveling alone atract attention from italian males.Always leave a 10% tip and remember to cover up in churches.Show consideration for locals and italians are delighted at any effort to speak thier language,so learn a few phrases.Drunkeness is not exceptable and do not smoke on public transport.If you use a taxi,do ask the price first.
This very large church in many aspects opens the Baroque period in Rome. The facade in no way prepares one for the extravagance of the interior.
Photo 1 The Jesuits believed that the richness of the decoration was an appropriate means to celebrate the greatness of God, thus the altar dedicated to St Ignatius (late XVIIth century) is most elaborate. The riches displayed in this altar are unsurpassed in all of Rome - gilded gold, brilliant blue lapis lazuli and many other gems.
Photo 2 The large canvas above this gold altar is, in fact, a very complicated mechanism that rolls up from the bottom on special Jesuit occasions to dramatically reveal the figure of St Ignatius.
Photo 3 The interior is a tumult of virtuosity in painting, marble scuplture, in architecture. Statues sprawl into frescoed figures at points in the roof, and frescoed figures emerge in marble at others.
It would be a mistake for the spectator to imagine that anything has been done here for the sole purpose of induging excess which might be the perception in the current age; everything is the expression of devoted faith, executed in the forms that the art of the time offered. Consider it a non-issue with the Jesuits who would not be disposed to address, much less apologize for the extravagant expressions of devotion bestowed by their predecessors.
Photo 4 The nice façade by Giacomo Della Porta shows a statue of St. Ignatius with a striking contrast between the total placidity of the face of the Saint and the rather violent action he is performing. The dome was designed by Iacopo Barozzi known as il Vignola, but it was built under the direction of Giacomo della Porta and completed in 1584.
Take the train from the FCO airport (main airport for Rome) to the Termini station in Rome. Once there, you should be able to hop the metro to whatever stop your hotel might be near. This works as long as you don't find it too difficult to carry your suitcase up a few stairs from time to time.
A very busy place, a little way away from the Colosseum. But it was lunchtime and all restaurants were almost full inside and outside. So it was a bit of a problem to find somewhere that could take a group of 12.
The restaurant, strangely, does not serve coffee...
For 12 people we spent an average of €11,25 per person for lunch including everything (drinks). It was here that I ate the best fresh homemade pasta. It was a lasagna (€5,50).
But note: the bread that is always set on the table unasked, does cost money. € 4 per portion (4 slices), quite expensive!
A beer is €4, a softdrink (can) is € 1,50, a big bottle of mineral water € 2.
