mr. mephisto, that was a pretty cheap dig man.
tepsukka, i backpacked europe for 3 weeks in the summer of '02. while in Rome (which was my favorite city visited), i stayed in a hostel by the name of 'hostel casanova'. I thought the name sounded shady, but the other ones were booked. ended up being my favorite hostel of the trip. the rules are relatively tight, but they make sure you have a quiet/clean place to sleep. the staff was really cool, i get an IM from the girls who were there everyonce in a while. the hostel is listed in "lets go" and "lonely planet" guidebooks. its on the north side of town... walking distance from the vatican and close to a metro stop.
but... you'll be going in the winter, so i'm sure all the hostels will have vacancies. I've heard great things about "yellow hostel" there, but i can't speak from personal experience. have a great time, good luck with those smokin' hot italian girls.
