Martina and her husband Walter were very friendly and welcoming and great hosts. When I first arrived Martina sat with me for a good half hour to help me orientate myself and help me find my way around the local area and answer any questions I had. Each morning for breakfast either Martina or Walter were always nearby to greet you and make you a cappuccino (or whatever takes your fancy) plus there was a decent variety of pastries and homemade cakes and biscuits. The room itself is great and exactly as pictured. The only things to keep in mind is that the walls are very thin (you can hear everything that your neighbours are up to) and the shower is extremely tiny and was difficult to use. Also, it is quite a long walk to the nearest metro station (about 15 mins) but once there it only takes a few minutes to be in the city centre of Rome.
