Having never stayed in a BnB before I had no idea what to expect. My emails to Guilia with questions which she promptly replied helped calm my nerve, and get me prepared for Rome. Both in the apartment description, and her emails she is clear about what is offered - a shared bathroom with another guest in a separate part of her apartment. We arrived exhausted and a bit overwhelmed after a 10 hour overnight flight. Guilia was warm, smiling and had an information kit going for us with lots of info for Rome. From maps, recommendations on places to visit and restaurants and gelato houses to transit info, she is well organized as a host. She is extremely respectful of your privacy, and you will likely not see or hear her family while you are visiting. However, if you need help, contact her email or what's app and she's there to help. The area is central and we walked to everything. A bit noisy but that's part of the charm. The eating places she recommended were good. The living space is clean and well thought out. She has a small sink in the room on the side which after my shower I would use to get ready. The bathroom was also spotless and modern. There is also a small common area with a useful kettle to warm up water for tea etc. She also keeps some small goodies handy in case you are starving at some point. I would definitely stay here again.
