Overall, the place is just ok. Coming from the United States, we were pretty confused on the energy system and it's difficult to say if this occurs in other stays in Rome as this was the only place we stayed. There is a key to turn "on" and "off" every time you walk back into the place to turn on the electricity. There is also a switch to turn "on" and "off" the hot water and the hot water ran out QUICKLY. The other issue we had was how loud it was. We were there over the weekend and people on the street were up partying until 3am and there seemed no way to drown out the noise. It is also on a busy road, which I think just contributed to the noise level. The place was a decent size. It was conveniently located - nearby a bus station. It was also helpful to have an elevator in the building as we were traveling with large suitcases. Overall, the place and the owner were nice, but we struggled with the cultural differences of the place and the noise level.
