The room was very clean and in one of the most desirable middle class areas of Rome. Martina and Walter are also very informed and attentive hosts and can tell you anything from how to get to the museum you are interested in to the best place to eat in the neighborhood. I will also say they have valuable insight as they have been travelers themselves and lived abroad for some time which means they can relate to any concerns or issues you are having.

The room was quiet, large, airy and ventilated and had access to an open living room with a balcony where you can lounge if you get tired of your room. Breakfast was very good - home made biscotti, fruit, croissant, cereal, juice and coffee prepared individually for each guest.

The hosts of this B&B have definitely paid close attention to the small details that make your stay comfortable. Each room has a pen and paper and the living room area has local guidebooks (including Rick Steve's Rome!) that you can borrow. There are also maps of the city posted in the living area so that Walter and Martina have a visual reference when directing you around the city.

The price is right for this B&B. The only drawback is that the location requires a 7 - 10 minute walk to get to the subway station that takes you into Rome (nearest stop- coliseum). This may not seem like a long distance, but does add up after a long day walking around the city - and does not provide the convenience of stopping by in the middle of the day if you are on a tight schedule. I would probably pay more next time to stay in the heart of the city if I had limited time and extra income.

In addition you should be aware that you will have to pay a tourist tax of 3.50 euro per person per day at the end of your stay which can only be paid in cash.

If you need a clean, quiet place to crash while you commute into Rome for the day this is the place for you.
