Tamara was VERY communicative and helpful from the moment I booked. When we arrived, she greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to tell us about the area, special sights and things to do in Rome.
We enjoyed our stay at TALK House and were happy to have a cool place to go to after a day of touring Rome in the scorching summer heat. Access to the city is VERY easy by bus and metro, and would be so much more delightful in fall or winter, I’m sure! Still, we rallied and just did what we had to do. I spaced out our activities to have some chill time for our two teens who really cherish their sleep, so it worked out well to have a quiet place in a quiet neighborhood!
The house was very clean and had everything we needed (including lovely canisters with coffee, salt, and more!). We were able to make simple meals in the kitchen on the days we didn’t want to eat out, which was very nice to be able to do! Because we were a family of four traveling for three weeks, I would have really liked to have had a working washing machine. Tamara said she’s planning to get it fixed, so that may not be an issue in the future. Otherwise, be sure to find out if there is a place to wash clothes if this is important to you.
I really enjoyed the morning I spent to get nice pastries at a nearby pasticceria while everyone slept. Also really loved seeing the city walls so close by, as well as the beautiful view of the British ambassadors’ residence across the street.
Overall, TALK House worked well for us and we were comfortable there and would probably return.
