However, please please keep in mind that many B&B's, apartment rentals, and smaller hotels in Rome may be located in residential areas or on off the beaten path streets that may too narrow for our large vehicles to pass through or legally park. Some streets in Rome have traffic restrictions, are closed for constructions, or it's unlawful to park and leave vehicles unattended such as in popular piazzas, near embassies or government buildings. In such cases your Driver will drop you off as close to your door as lawfully possible and assist you with your luggage if it's possible for us to park and leave our vehicles unattended.
