Rani's place gave us exactly what we needed during our 3 day stay in Rome. We were mentally unprepared for the 90-95F weather with the sun beating down. Luckily our room was equipped with two fans. Our hosts also had the good insight to provide a cold water dispenser in the kitchen. It became indispensable to us in the heat. I prefer a firmer (not hard) bed, and this mattress served me well. Rani's wife recommended a good breakfast place down the street. Delicious coffee and cornetti. They were also flexible about letting us check in a little earlier so that we could drop off our luggage before FYI, when we visited, the tourist tax had increased to 7 euro per person.
