Out of all the options for hotels, hostels, and AirBnB's, we found this to be the best value for our money. Matteo was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome and safe in Rome. The room is exactly as its shown in the pictures and the metro is about a 5 minute walk to take you to all the tourist places. I wish we would have gotten directions beforehand but this wasnt something we thought about asking for until we were at the airport and didnt have good wifi. This lead us to ask around at Termini what metro stop to use. They told us San Giovanni Line A which was close enough but still a far walk in the sun with heavy backpacks. It was an unpleasant first few hours with the stress of trying to find the address with no wifi and no way to contact Matteo once we were outside but he found us and showed us the ropes. The lift was very helpful after long days of exploring and he made some great food recommendations. We were provided with breakfast tickets to use at a local cafe where we got a pastry and cappuchino each morning. They were very nice people and quick about serving us. I miss those breakfasts!
The room was nice and cool, the windows opened to let in fresh air and there is a fan as well. I think there was another couple in the room next to us but we never had issues sharing the bathroom as we hardly ever saw them. Matteo was kind to print out some tour tickets for us as well which we found very helpful. And he offered to let us stay past check out time, too.
Oh and if youre hungry, there is a pizza spot down the street that serves the best lasagna Ive ever had! I believe its called Magna Pizza. You must try it! Very affordable too. The area seems rough but its safe. Women with children or by themselves walk at night all the time and the streets are well lit.
All in all, I would definitely recommend Matteo's place to anyone visiting Rome.
