For this review we stayed in room Marcella, which has its own bathroom facilities.
The room is spacious, clean, and possesses useful household equipment like a fridge, water kettle, coffee machine and microwave, all neatly positioned in the corner so as not to visibly take up much space in the room.
With the high summer heat in Rome airconditioning for comfortable night sleep is a must, luckily the room doesn’t disappoint here either, with an installation that cools down the room to a pleasant temperature if you leave it on for about an hour while you go out for dinner or evening drinks. The windows have easy to use outside panels to block out the Italian sun if you want to sleep late, or keep out the heat if you decide on spending some of the hottest times of day resting inside.
The host is exceptionally hospitable and welcomes you personally to the room where she is happy to help with any questions you have, and is additionally very helpful and initiating in supplying you with any information that might prove useful or wanted. Out of her own initiative she provides useful local knowledge on places to eat, drink, the best ice creams vendors, public transportation routes, the best places to visit, anything you could imagine. For this alone I would strongly recommend the accommodation, as it really makes life easier for the first days after arrival when you are acclimatising to your new environment.
Perhaps the greatest asset this accommodation has is its central location In the heart of ancient Rome. The accommodation is located barely a street away from Piazza Navona which, a quick Google search will make clear, is so centrally located in the middle of Rome, pretty much any tourist activity is easily accessible by foot. If by any chance you still might want to use public transportation to avoid walking in the summer heat, the accommodation is less than 5 minutes away from 2 of the largest bus stops on that side of Rome, making even the use of public transportation for arriving from the airport, or indeed travelling to it, as easy as pie. Tickets to use public transportation can be found at the piazza Novato itself, which is once again located directly next to the accommodation.
Overall I would give this accommodation, the host and specifically room Marcella a rating of 9/10, giving it my full approval and confidence for anyone looking for a great location in combination with both comfort and price efficiency for a stay in the ancient city which emperor Augustus so eloquently described finding as a city of stone, and leaving as a city of marble.
