I have two old family members who are traveling to Rome on holiday. I personally think central rome is a shithole. I speak Italian but I don't go there often. Can an anon help me save these boomers lives?

They want to stay at a best western in rome and use it as a base of operation. I feel it would be better to stay somewhere in the suburbs. Or somewhere in Lazio, I don't know. Is there a good area they can stay in without getting harassed by vu cumpra and gypsies? But that also gives them access to central rome? Whether it be by car or rail.
