We really enjoyed our stay in Rome and feeling safe at night helped us get good rest. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. It is a very tiny room with an even smaller bathroom (I could barely bend down to grab my shampoo in the shower). The hot pot wasn’t working when we arrived and there was a coffee machine, but no coffee to use in it. We walked 10-15 minutes every morning for coffee and pastries (we highly recommend Caffe L’800 and Laterano Caffe).
Booking:
I had a few questions when we first booked, but I didn’t hear back for several weeks so I contacted Airbnb and they had to help me get in touch. Our reservation was almost canceled twice because of the lack of communication.
Arrival:
We were sent the check in guide a few hours before we arrived. It was pretty basic (airline info, passport info, contact info, etc.) Getting the key was a bit confusing. We ended being put in touch with another guy (who we never saw) and had to go to a bar to pick up the key for the room. We took the Leonardo Express train from the airport to Roma Termini and from there took bus 714 to a stop right next to the house (we bought the bus tickets at a Hudson news stand in Roma termini right near the exit. When you get outside go toward the letter B and that’s where bus 714 picks everyone up.) Before boarding the bus we had to find the key for the room which required us finding the bar with the lockbox that the key was in, getting the code for the box, and then getting back to our bus. The check in guide showed photos of how to get to the room that were easily to follow.
Experience:
The room is small but cute. There was a hairdryer, mini fridge, a few kitchen supplies, and a few adaptors in the room as well. There were no washcloths so we recommend packing your own! There were no snacks or beverages so we ended up going out that night because we were starving by the time we got there. We did have a cleaner accidentally walk in on us without knocking, but she was confused on which room to clean. The window looks up to the street so we kept it closed at night for privacy. The walk to the Colosseum is lovely and we walked pretty much everywhere else in the city as well. Overall we were pleased with our stay.
