This was my first time visiting Rome and I couldn't have asked for a better hostel than Ernesto's place. Julie messaged me right before I flew over to ask what time I was expecting to check in and even though I was a little later than I expected, she was there the second I arrived.
I used Google Maps to find the place and it took me right to the door with no issues at all. Julie welcomed me and showed me around the place, gave me the wifi password, and even gave me a link to their personalised map of Trastevere with restaurants and shops they recommend.
The area the place is located in is also fantastic. It was the Rome I had always pictured in my head with cobblestone streets, cafés on every corner, and restaurants and gelato places everywhere. When I come back (and I definitely will) I wouldn't hesitate booking a room at Ernesto's place again.
I had a fantastic time overall and the people I met there made the trip even better. Thanks for your hospitality, guys. Hopefully I'll get to stay there again soon!
