Ermanno’s place was excellent. The main draw is the location. It is in the heart of Rome and we were able to walk fairly easily all across the city. It was only a couple minutes away from big sites like the Pantheon. Check in was very smooth. While Ermanno was out of town his housemate, Maria, was able to help with the check in. She gave us a tour of the place and made us feel welcome. She also works at a great restaurant called Barnum a minute away that serves a hearty breakfast and she was an excellent server. I highly recommend it
if you end up wanting something more than coffee and pastries. Speaking of recommendations, Ermanno gave some great ones. Especially the nearby cafe where we drank coffee every morning. The room was spacious and clean. It isn’t a five star hotel but it is cozy and has a quant charm. The only downside that I can think of is the faint smell of smoke while in the hallway. Though it never lingered into our room. Overall it’s more than worth the price. Loved it
