Malko is the friend in Rome that you didn’t know you had. He set us up so well and made sure we were taken care of with suggestions, etc, and took the time to chat with us too. His place was in a great spot— easy to get to everything and central to a lot of the places we wanted to go. The only bummers for us were a slight smoky smell— not Malko’s fault— I think some guests did not respect the house rules and must have smoked despite the no-smoking rule. And (#2), the walls are a bit thin, so we heard passersby in the alley and some of the construction which was happening while we were there. This was not a huge issue as we didn’t want to sleep-in anyway and there aren’t a ton of passersby in the two alleys that flank the room. The counters were clean, which is a great thing since I’m a clean freak! And it was really kind of Malko to supply us with some refreshments as well.
Great place! Malko and the location seals the deal.
