Overall our stay had some great moments. The hosts allowed early check in and this pretty much set us up for the day. Without this it would have lead to a very stressful day of looking after bags etc. We were also given some local restaurant tips and check in was excellent. Location is right next to the train station which suited our one night stay and train the next day. The area is not the 'prettiest' and I would say near the train station can be a little bleak compared to over areas of Rome. There is a lift in the building for those with bags, felt very secure in the building. The room did smell a little of smoke that would be my only critique. Otherwise excellent stay and the warm welcome really made the negatives very small.
