Host is friendly but I am indifferent about the place. The house it self is 3/5 at best. Pictures aren’t the best judge of the place, look at them very carefully. I was certainly not expecting the entrance to be so dark and off putting. I had to climbs 4 flight of stairs with a bunch of luggage and though out, I felt like I was in a very poor quality building. It smelled bad, dust everywhere, and chipped walls. It might be because the city of Rome generally is more crowded and expensive therefore a place like this would therefore be acceptable but for those of you looking for a decent place to stay, I would think twice.
