Gianluca is a very good host. Contact was good and response very fast. Location of the studio is great, right beside the Colosseum. Room is efficiently used and comfortable. Hot water is limited, but the boiler reheats very fast and when showering economically, you can shower upto two people. About the smell, it is an old building, so it doesn't smell like flowers... The studio is on the ground floor and the sun doesn't shine inside. Which is very pleasant when it is 30 degrees outsides, so you can sit outside easily. On the other hand, it is a bit dark to chill in the studio when needing a break of all the sightseeing. After all, a nice place to stay!
