The building is older, but has a working elevator and you have your own room with a bathroom which are very modern, clean, and comfortable. We were met by Vicky but got to meet Frederica as well. It's a few minutes walk from the metro and train station and if you're not afraid to be a pedestrian in Rome, it's not more than about 25 minutes from all the main sites. Overall we were very pleased and would stay here again.
