Great host! We didn't actually meet him, but his friend Hadi was very helpful and helped us get things squared away. Loft is in an excellent location and was very clean. As per other reviews, there is a slight musty smell but it's not overwhelming. The only thing worth really noting is the lack of hot water--there was not even enough hot water for one person to take a five minute shower and definitely not enough for two people. So we just had to plan around that--one person in the mornjng, the other in the evening. No biggie. Other than that, was a great little loft in an easily accessible part of Rome!
