Gabriele was a great host and the place was well stocked with breakfast supplies/ coffee. Even got some croissants in one morning for me and the other guest, which was appreciated.
The room was very comfortable and plenty spacious with a nice view. The shower pressure isn't amazing but you get a view over the rooftops to the Vatican as a trade-off.
If you don't mind a bit of a walk or using public transport this is a great wee spot for a city break. That being said, it's only 20 minutes to walk to the colosseum and Rome is sprawling no matter where you stay.
The area felt safe and authentic - very few tourists and lots of locals heading to and from work/ staying out late for gelato etc.
