Zolilla B&B was a prefect place for a first-timer, or experienced traveler, in Rome.

It's situated near the metro, which is quite useful if you have a heavy backpack or lots of luggage. I ended up only using the metro on the first & last day as the B&B is situated well within walking distance of pretty much all the main attractions. It's a great way to get a feel of Rome, and see both the touristy and not-so-touristy sides.

The B&B itself is clean, and I felt very comfortable leaving my belongings. You get a key to your room and of the apartment, which has a very "industrial" looking locking mechanism. Felt like I was dealing with a bank vault aha. Oh, and while it's close to all the touristy areas it's located on a quiet street and I managed to sleep very well at night.

The breakfast, like others said, is croissants/Nutella/cereal/that sorta thing. I actually found it quite useful, and it's the "Italian way". I would drink my coffee and eat breakfast on the go, which saved time in the mornings. There was also quite a bit offered, so whatever I didn't eat served as snacks throughout the day, which was nice.

Franca was great. She happily gave me suggestions of places to see & places to eat at local prices (places on Via Cavour tailor to tourists). Also, I was over an hour late on arrival and despite it being Easter weekend and her being with her family, and me being unable to get in touch, she waited until I arrived.

To wrap up the review, it's a great B&B in a great area. You won't go wrong staying at the Zolila B&B.
