Convent Staying in Rome?

Many years ago a friend and I stayed in one in Pisa. We were likely the only non-Catholics and perhaps even the only Non-Italians there. It was filled with a lot of young Italian women.

The nuns did not speak much English; however, they provided us with a simple room with 2 single beds, and a bathroom with the longest bathtub I have ever seen (around 6 feet). Breakfast may have been provided. I recall heading out in the evening hours to grab dinner. When we returned, scores of young women were out front meeting their beaus. They stayed close by because the doors were locked at 10pm. I joked with my friend that it felt like we were staying at a home for wayward girls.

Unlike many experiences with hostels, nobody interacted with us and yet we received the hospitality of a safe place to stay and comfortable accommodations for a nominal fee.

I have fond memories of the experience. I would recommend staying with the nuns as long as the ladies are not picky about beds that might be a bit harder & sheets a bit stiffer than what they are accustomed to in the US. Think dorm room rather than a basic B&B.
