I was traveling through Italy for three weeks and using AirBnB the whole time. From Rome to Tuscany to Umbria to the Amalfi Coast. In all honesty, this was the only place I stayed where I did not take a photo or post about it on Facebook. It was near the train station and that was all that was good about it.

This isn't a "BnB" setup, this is a pensione. For $35 more a night than the lovely place I stayed in Trastevere with a lovely family, I got a small room, no kitchen or common area, no real hospitality (Lucia lives upstairs and besides not speaking english I'm not sure that she's one for much small talk), and a cramped little add-on bathroom on a terrace to quickly shower in. Lucia was also the only person in 3 weeks who told me I owed *extra* money above the AirBnB fee for "city taxes."

It was all I needed for the night and I was tired, but to be honest it was so uninspiring to be there after all of the other amazing AirBnB places I'd stayed that I didn't even have the energy to wander Rome on my last night. The room was more like a place I would've stayed when I was backpacking in my 20s, and after three weeks of staying in wonderful places and meeting amazing people it was a bit of a slap to have my last evening in Italy be me wearing earplugs to avoid hearing Lucia and another tenant talk loudly in front of my door while I was trying to take a nap. It wasn't what I was hoping for as my farewell night in Italy. For what I paid, I wish I would've stayed in the Trastevere flat and taken a cab to the train station. But on a good note, it made me feel ready to go home.

And just so I don't make it sound like everything is negative, the building seemed fine and the complimentary breakfast at a cafe around the corner was nice. The chocolate croissant and coffee were great. Otherwise, not much to recommend unless you just want to sleep. With earplugs. Near a train station.
