I would highly recommend this 4th floor B&B to anyone looking for an intimate and interactive stay in Rome. Lauro is gregarious and very talkative, and he likes to have real conversations with his guests; if you'd prefer an anonymous hotel experience, this place isn't for you.

When I first arrived, Lauro welcomed me warmly, handed me a map of Rome, and gave me an hourlong "tour" on the map of the best places to visit, explore, and eat (be sure to ask him for restaurant recommendations - all of them were amazing!). We also had lively conversations over breakfast each morning. By the end of my stay, we were like old friends.

The B&B is bright, clean, and quite well-located (I was able to walk almost everywhere I wanted to go). Lauro was unfailingly responsive, accommodating with my arrival time, and allowed me store my bag there for some hours after checkout. Note that there *is* air conditioning, as it says in the listing, but you need to ask Lauro to turn it on and for the remote control (somehow I missed that my first 2 nights but slept much better after asking about it). The only minor inconvenience was that the towels smelled like mildew, but that seems to be common everywhere that hang-dries their linens.

Overall, I had a great time here and would happily return again!
