Location, location, location! It's so easy to walk throughout Rome from here. Minutes to the Colosseum it's a great place to start your day. It's also close to the big bus tour stops, the metro and the train station. It's private though sometimes we could the neighboring guests too much. Paola provided excellent local information for dinner etc, we were never dissatisfied with the recommendations. On entry to the room be ready for an earthy smell - it's only the fact that it's a basement room and by the third day it had either aired out or we got used to it - it's just a shock to the senses the first time. Also, the bathroom is restricted in space so bigger people will find it a little challenging. The room (and bed) were very comfortable otherwise and allowed us to have a great experience in Rome.
