Marisa and her husband were lovely hosts, especially considering our language barrier. Both helpful and eager to understand, they were happy to point us in the right direction of things to see. The place was in the heart of busy Rome. That said, it was a bit loud at night (which we were fine with, but if you are a light sleeper or don't like noise late at night and early in the morning, think twice). We loved how close to the sights it was, because we only stayed a half day and night in Rome. It was about a 15-20 minute walk from Roma Termini, so pretty convenient. Also, breakfadt at a nearby cafe was included, which was perfect, quick and tasty. The room is modest, but had all we needed for a quick trip to Rome. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to be amidst the action of the city!
