The description as "romantic' is inaccurate. The studio is poorly lit in general. One of the bulbs at the bathroom sink was burnt out (we did not report to host, as he seemed uninterested,), another of the three was flickering. The toilet seat cover is cracked, the shower hardware is rusting and their is old and mildew at the floor where the shower box sits on the floor. The studio smelled and felt of mold and mildew in general. A humidifier's water reservoir was also moldy. The espresso maker was broken, but after complaint was replaced the next day. A dish 'cloth' was so filthy that we immediately threw it in the rubbish.

Otherwise, the studio is convenient to the Coliseum, Palantine Hill, forum, several other ancient Roman sites and the metro. Plenty of restaurants of variable quality and price.
