Gabriele’s place is super comfy for your stay in Roma! It’s spacious and stylish so it makes you feel at home. It is quite a walk from some places but only 15 minutes from the Colosseum/Roman Forum. We also had trouble buying a bus ticket with the newspaper stand/tabacchi.. not sure if it was because we weren’t locals but I tried buying twice from both of them and both times I was denied. But it’s ok, we just had to walk to the metro ~17 mins. That being said, people around here definitely don’t speak English so it can be hard to communicate what you need/want. The pizzeria Brigante II definitely had the best pizza of all of the ones we tried in Rome plus they’re open until 11pm! I would definitely stay again.
