I remember wandering about the streets of Rome vaguely thinking I would head toward the area of the Trevi. If I remember correctly the Trevi Fountain is at the back of what could be a Church or perhaps government building; I noticed a windows and what looked like a nun pulling the drapes closed.

The square itself is much smaller than one expects it to be; for some reason I was expecting a much larger expanse of space; but because of the charm of the space; the amazing fountain surrounded by picturesque buildings from various periods; this place only ends up being a wonderful experience, even though I generally try to avoid the crowds; and the square, the times I have been there it has always been crowded with tourists taking pictures, tossing coins, and generally making considerable noise. Having a room right on the square could possibly be something of a challenge, but perhaps they are soundproof.

The space is small but the square is full of people who are happy to be there; there is a party ambience; and even perhaps in some cases joy; for people have come to Rome for many reasons and for some it is perhaps the realization of a dream and a singular time of joy in their lives; and for others it is another joyful happening in a life full of perhaps ecstasy.
