The place: The combination of quality of accommodations (The description is 100% accurate and nicer than pictures give credit), the location (central to Trevi, Colossium, Spanish Steps, Vatican, etc), the location (tucked on a side street for some quiet, near Terminus Station), local life (right downstairs are two restaurants, a pizza place, gelato shop, market, coffee shop, patisserie... fantastic), and you can walk to anything else you need. Surrounding neighborhoods have GREAT restaurants and shops (I like staying on the small streets toward the Colossium). I enjoy putting some miles on your favorite shoes, and this is the best place in Rome to have as a central point.
Host: Teresa is fantastic. Onviously all of the above is thanks to her! We had everything we needed. Check in/out was a breeze. She helped organize odd hours transportation. She answered a ton of questions.
I really hope that the next time I come to Rome that this place is open.
