We are looking into staying in the Travtevere area in Rome as we have heard it is a great location for lodging. Any hotels that anyone recommended? Have you had a pleasant experience staying in this area? If you didn't like this area, anyplace you would recommend? 3 females in their 20's staying together so are main concern is safety. We know we will have to walk a lot but that seems like no matter where you stay in rome.

I always stay in the small hotels around the Main Train station and Metro. It is a fine location for walking and several nice small restaurants near by.
I usually stay at the Contilia a couple short blocks from the Termini Station and found the whole area walkable and safe. Lots of budget hotels in the area
