Take It Easy BnB was the perfect place for me to enjoy my quick couple of days visiting Rome. Walter was incredibly helpful and flexible with advice and helping me to plan my schedule, and made a great cup of coffee to start each day the right way!
I am easily overwhelmed by massive hordes of tourists, which made Rome itself a challenge. However, I loved the funky Garbatella neighborhood where this room was located. With Walter's excellent and and detailed directions, I used both the metro and the bus system with ease. I recommend the bus actually, because you get to see the real street life of areas you'll never walk through and it gives you the feel of being a local.
I also recommend the family-owned local restaurant near the room. There is a deal with them to offer a 10% discount, and the house wine, pizzas and pastas are wonderful without the tourist prices. Right next to that is a cool little bar and also a great gelato place. I was thankful to get away from the tourism crush and relax in the evenings at these spots. There is also the best bio/organic grocery in town right around the corner from the room. For me, this was the ideal scenario.
Walter and Martina are awesome, the communication was excellent, the room is clean and functional as advertised, and the extra services like airport pick-up/drop off were easy and well worth it for me after the hassle of international travel.
If I return to Rome, I'll be staying with here again, and thanks to them for making life easier while attempting to see as much of Rome as possible in a short few days.
