Let's be honest-- you want to book this place because of the books, and the books will deliver. It's a charming space with a beautiful terrace in a nice neighborhood of Rome, within reasonable walking distance of a lot of main sights but not too busy. Great restaurant just downstairs. Some of the amenities seemed a bit tired or outdated, such as the towels/ linens, and the shower set-up was a hassle. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, and it is all as advertised.
