Wow, staying at Valentina’s really surpassed my expectations. What a great find! This place is so conveniently located—just a short walk to the metro stop Re di Roma (on line A), 4 quick stops from Termini—you can get to the center quickly. I really liked being in such a lively neighborhood with everything being so close by. (For example there are many restaurants in the area, including a bio store/cafe, and the supermarket is less than a minute walk.) San Giovanni in Laterano is about a ten or so minute walk, and it’s maybe a 20-25 walk to the coliseum. The area didn’t feel touristy like it can in the center. And although it’s very vibrant in the neighborhood the room was quiet and comfortable, and very clean. Really it felt like a nice hotel room. I heard voices from a nearby room one night out of the two weeks that I was there. The price was amazing I think, for a room with private bath and air conditioning, refrigerator and electric tea kettle. Last but not least, Valentina was so helpful. She went out of her way to assist me when I had some things come up. She always responded quickly to any questions that I had. I plan on staying here when I go back to Rome!
