Loretta's house is a charming, comfy and homey. The price is unbeatable, however it is a trek to get to central Rome. I would recommend this to uni/college aged kids on a budget--it was perfect for me and my two friends. Loretta doesn't speak a lot of English but she really tried, and we used Google translate when we couldn't understand each other. Her son is sweet, Loretta is sweet, and the stay was sweet. It was kind of like living with a friend's mom for a couple of nights. She made us breakfast one morning and put down more food than we could muster to put away. I would absolutely stay with Loretta again.
