6/10 - Bom

Mixed bag
The neighborhood is a mixed bag - lots of graffiti and people shaking us down for cash or running a scheme from the moment we walked off the plane. Be very careful in Rome. Don't let ANYONE stop you at the airport.
Even the front desk of the hotel - though friendly - was looking to make a buck. You can't trust any pricing given for taxi or shuttles. I wish I would have stayed somewhere else. When I told the front desk about some of the intimidating problems we had at the airport and with our taxi driver who pretended to have issues with the credit card machine and insisted he drive my husband to an ATM for cash, she laughed and said "this is common". I then got hustled by the front desk for them to set up a cab for us that increased 3 times with each front desk encounter I had. (They started with 50 Euros to the train station, then it was 55, then 80!) Booked my own cab for 27 Euros! This is Rome.
The hotel is clean and fine but we were so uncomfortable with the surroundings and staff that we couldn't wait to leave.
