This room is all about location. The Forum and Colosseum are short walks away. Every day you should stop by the Torre Argentina, just a block away, to count the cats that hang out where Caesar died. There are two or three wonderful restaurants and bars right there in the neighborhood, though I don't recommend the ones with the hosts who flip menus and bother you when you walk by. The internet is great. I found the bed very comfortable. The photos do make the room look bigger than it is, but I'm used to staying in places like these and so it worked well for me.

Michele seems to be more of a hotelier than a personal host. He has colleagues who meet guests and check them out after their stay. However, he was always quick to respond to messages personally, even when he had internet trouble. Recommended.
