Wow, what a stay! We stayed at Gianluca's place for two nights in July 2013. He met us at the door and gave us a very thorough introduction to our place and, more generally, Rome. Gianluca is a very charming and funny man, and he made us feel right at home. In fact, he reminded us a number of time to use the B&B "like your home".

Regarding his introduction to Rome, Gianluca made three suggestions: one for dinner, one for coffee, and one for gelatto. We tried all three and they were fantastic. I am generally leery of "recommended" spots, but these were fantastic. You can feel very comfortable trusting his choices.

The B&B itself was the most modern, clean, and well-appointed place we stayed in during a five-week vacation (it should be noted that ALL of the places we have stayed in Europe have been excellent, in our opinion, and STILL this was the best). We stayed in the Bali room, where we had comfortable beds, clean sheets, plenty of pillows, a TV, and air conditioning! Our private bathroom gave us plenty of hot water and water pressure.

The shared kitchen and dining area provided a place for us to introduce ourselves to some of the other guests, but it was very easy to close the door to get privacy when it was necessary.

The location is excellent: two streets over from Termini Station, and an easy walk to the Colosseum, Pantheon, Forum, Trevi Fountain, etc. We hardly used the transit during our stay, but that is easily accessible from the B&B as well, if you were interested.

Don't be put off by the walk from Termini to the B&B. Directly beside the station the streets are fairly dirty and it would be easy to be intimidated by the crowds, etc. However, you are absolutely safe. We wandered this area at all times, even late at night, and did not feel threatened in the least.

Gianluca is a very helpful and organized host, who made himself available for contact, and whose place was sleek, modern, and very comfortable. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Rome, we will stay with him again.
