Stayed at Paola's place near the Coloseum. It's very well located if you want to be near the Coloseum and Circus Maximus. An easy walk from the Metro at Coloseum Station. Just exit the metro and walk clockwise around the Coloseum and the street is on your left about 3-4 minutes walk. The room is just a few steps up from street level, so no worries about lugging heavy bags up a few flights. The room is quite small, just about 8' X 25' including the stairs up to the loft bed and the bathroom. Much smaller than the photos may present it to be. If you are in cooler weather the heat works very well but is so loud you have to talk loudly to be heard over it. Can't say if the AC mode is as loud, as it was chilly when we were there. We were greeted by a very pleasant woman (not Paola) who showed us what was where and how to operate the stove etc. Kitchen might be ok for making tea or coffee but would be extremely challenging otherwise. If you don't have cell phone service the wifi is very challenging, weak, impossible for me to keep a connection. There are a few networks that come up and I was told that the password worked for all of them but it worked for two of them. In order to stay connected I had to exit the room and go half way down the back stairs where the router in the office seems to be. Maybe Paola could have helped with this, but we didn't have local phone service to call her. You are at the front of the building and the window in the room opens right onto the street so you can hear every word of everyone who walks past. Garbage trucks empty the Three dumpsters outside the window every morning very early. . Again, very noisy. Same goes for anyone who walks into the building, there are other rooms there, they do business under the name Eats & Sheets". Anyone enters the front door walks by the room and you'll hear every word. Bathroom shower walls not clean had mildew on the tiles. Again the shower is VERY SMALL. I have to say that the Bed very nice and comfortable! It's king size with a firm mattress but VERY comfortable. Very limited storage for clothing. Overall, convenient location, safe neighborhood, too small for my taste, should be cleaner but with a very comfortable bed.
