Mary is the best hostess you could hope to find!! Available, friendly, fluent in English, knowledgeable and accommodating. The room is as advertised, clean, comfortable and with private bathroom. The air conditioning was absolutely wonderful as Rome was unseasonabley scorching the week we were there! The neighborhood boasts close proximity to Termini (about 7 min walk?), with several restaurants, gelaterias and small markets right outside the door. The Colosseum is just a 10' walk away -- unbelievable! We enjoyed our stay and think you won't find a better hostess!
