The room was great, the location can't be beat (right next to the train station and major bus hub, while also walking distance from the Colosseum/Roman Forum), and Carmen is a sweetheart.

Check-in and check-out was super simple, and having a private bathroom was really nice. Carmen has thought of everything in the room to make sure the stay is perfect -- a comfortable bed, an extra blanket and pillows and even a mini fridge and TV on a swivel bracket so you can watch it from bed.

When you walk in, there is a foyer, where one door leads to Carmen's private residence and the other door leads to your private room. This was great so we didn't worry about bothering anyone if we came in late.

Highly recommended, and we will be staying here again the next time we're in Rome!
