The listing description was really accurate! We had the room pictured and it was nice and clean - high ceilings, a great view from the window, a comfortable bed, and our own small bathroom in addition to the shared one. The location was great--we were walking distance from anything we wanted to see! We only rode a bus to the Vatican. We never met Pasquale, but his mom was so helpful and loving towards us three 20-year-old girls. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend!
