My god, I loved this place. The age and history of Rome is charming, but after several days, it can really beat you up -- especially the hilly streets and large staircases that pepper the city. My family and I spend 3 days at a small hotel near the Termino train station in Rome and then spent two days in Venice before staying here for our final night in Italy. We had walked well over 50 miles and had to walk a bit further to reach this place. When arriving back to Rome from Venice, there were protests going on near the neighborhood of this loft and so no cab drivers could get us there. One cab driver left us the closest he could -- nearly 2 miles away with 5 large bags and one 70-year-old grandmother.

Even she said this place was worth the walk.

I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my final day in Rome. We blasted the air conditioning, went out to see a couple of sites and grab some food and then came back just in time for sunset on the terrace. Then we shut the automated curtains so we could get some pitch-black sleep before getting up early for a flight to Spain.

This place is modern comfort dropped right into heart of historic Rome. I couldn't recommend this place more. It's fantastic.
