I believe we may have just had a difficult experience. In terms of location it is amazing right in the centre of the trastevere. Unfortunately when we came home, the door to the corridor in which our room was in was locked so we were unable to get into our room at 2am. After 45 minutes thankfully the owner was up and came to get it opened. Smelt a little bit like cigarettes in the room. For one night if your young and want something cheap it’s not the end of the world but a little dingy for any longer stays.
