Awesome place, excellent host and great location! I booked only for one night but extended my stay. Martina is really kind and cheerful; native to Rome, fluent in English and well travelled, she's such a help getting around Rome and gives great insight to the country and its culture. The place is super clean, bright and fresh; modern private bathrooms for each of the three rooms she rents. I had the single. The breakfast commons room is full of sun and opens to a balcony filled with happy green plants and flowers. The internet connection is strong. The tea & coffee and continental breakfast was really nice. The neighborhood is Rome as Romans see it. Its quietness and relaxedness is a pleasant change to battling the throngs of tourists at the Vatican and elsewhere; nice to come home to and have a quiet sleep. It's 4 min by train to the Colosseo with a 9 min walk from the apartment to the station (2 min if you hop the bus), so you're not away from things by any means. The shopping street has all you need from supermarket, pharmacy, shops, cafes, pizzerias, bar, etc. Try Il Timoniere two blocks away, one of the city's best local restaurants, profiled in Anthony Bourdain's travel show. Thank you, Martina! Hope to be back!
