I arrrived to Rome after a 20 hour flight, that had been delayed 3 hours, exhausted needless to say. Taking the train to the Trastevere station was quite simple. Since this was my first time to Italy, I had to wander around a little to get my bearings, was able to find the B&B. Exhausted and sweltering, I was not so nicely greeted by Sabrina, who's initial greeting was a very harsh "I've been waiting for 3 hours" as she rolled her eyes. Not exactly the welcome to Italy I had hoped for...My room was perfect for me, double bed, tv, a/c and nice to have wifi. It was close to the train station, about a 10 min ride to the Termini station downtown, which was great. The problem being, if you plan on staying out late, or after 8pm, the trains don't run very often, and last train is 10:30pm, so taxi can get quite expensive. One downfall was very limited hot water, my showers were less than 5 minutes before water got cold. I was given coupons for each day of my stay which entitled me to 1 croissant and cappuccino at Dolce Cafe down the street (Valerio and Luca the owners were very nice). I did not see Cristina the full 7 days I was there, my last day I text her for late checkout (as on site it says flexible check in/out and my flight didn't leave until 5pm), to which she told me no, but I could leave my suitcase in the kitchen, unsecured. As I went to my breakfast that last morning, Cristina came in with Sabrina and I introduced myself, she was not friendly at all, did not ask me about my stay...etc.
Bottom line...great little spot near train station, taxi needed for later nights to return, unfriendly service...but ROME IS TO DIE FOR!
