Not only was Gianluca responsive to our questions before booking, but he was very accommodating to our needs. He runs a nice and clean B&B, gave helpful tips for navigating Rome, and recommended great eats in the city. We really enjoyed his friendly, welcoming personality, and humorous jokes. He was also great with my 1 year old son. The B&B is within 5-10 minutes walking distance from the Termini so it was nice to be able to easily to get to the B&B after arriving into Rome. We stayed in the New York room, which has 2 queen sized beds; a luxury for our family of 3. The beds were comfortable and provided a good night's rest. The room is exactly as pictured; nice, clean and neatly decorated. Our room has a window that looked out onto the street. The private bathroom was modern and clean, though the hot water tended to run out quickly for morning showers. There was a supply of assorted packaged pastries in the common area, yogurt, coffee, hot chocolate, and fruit juice boxes in the kitchen all at our disposal. These were convenient when we'd rush out the door in the morning eager to take in the sights or when feeling like a midnight snack. Wireless internet connection was very good. There was no problem getting to the B&B on the 2nd floor of the building as there is an elevator. The B&B is within easy walking distance to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon - all about 15-20 mins. If you like to walk, Campo di Fiori and the Spanish Steps are farther walks - about 25 mins. We basically walked everywhere with the exception of taking the metro to the Vatican and Trastevere neighborhood; and all the while being 13 weeks pregnant and toting around a 12 month old! I did not find the neighborhood of the B&B to be dodgy or scary even though it is so close to the train station.
Since we threw coins into the Trevi Fountain, ensuring our return to Rome some day, we would definitely stay at B&B128Roma again! Thank you for being such a great host, Gianluca! We love your personality and would recommend your B&B to anyone and everyone!
