Me and my girlfriend spent eleven days living in this beautiful Italian home while visiting Rome, and concluding our stay we are both of the opinion that we just could neither have hoped for more gracious hosts nor for a better neighbourhood. Living with Adriana and her daughter, we felt so welcome that I could only compare the experience of their friendly precense to the feeling of being home to visit my own sweet mother.
This neighbourhood is especially great for those who seek to stay in an authentic Italian area, living a little away from the areas most crowded with tourists, but not so far that you feel that you are technically living outside the city, because most of this is only a short walk away or a few minutes by public transport which is easy to access. This really felt like living in the heart of Rome, being positioned somewhat in the middle of some of the greatest attractions, like the Vatican maybe 30 minutes walk to the North/North-West, and the monuments from ancient Rome only 20-30 minutes by walk in the North-East direction, not to mention that it is located right next to a great number of bus and tram stops with public transport heading any direction.
Due to prior bookings by other travellers wanting to visit the same place, none of the rooms where availlable for the full span of dates we were planning to spend in Rome. But we wanted to see if we could book both of the rooms for different dates, and Adriana was not difficult to ask, but rather flexible and helpful with sorting this out in an organized manner. Consequently, we spent our first couple of nights in the Mon Petit Coeur, and the remaining eight nights in the Art Room, and we can really recommend both rooms, as they are both very comfortable, private and quiet, and they both good have functions for surviving ten really warm days in Rome (on average 35-40 degrees Celcius on the warmest time of the days of our stay there), as they are both equipped with quiet-going ceiling fans and small fridges to cool down your beverages. Being a Norwegian I was really afraid the nights would be too warm for me to get some good rest, but it really worked out quite well and comfortably.
We can whole-heartedly recommend staying with Adriana, as we would not hesitate to book another stay with her, if we were to plan on coming back to Rome again.
