This page is a listing of where I stayed. I found other people’s lists of accommodation extremely helpful. There are many useful sites to help you find accommodation but the choice can be a bit bewildering. Personal information is therefore very useful. This page will really only be of interest to people planning to travel. Sorry it is not very pretty on a phone. I will make a pdf later.

The British Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome has huge amount of information including a very useful and up to date accommodation list.
