Charm of Rome has been my favorite place thus far of my Europe trip. The place is more hotel-like than an actual home with the owners living there. The host greeted us and was very friendly. Although he said his English was not good, we were able to communicate effectively. The street may seem sketchy at first but surely this area is safe. It is only a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum (I suggest arriving there at 8am to be first in line to buy tickets). The square nearby has a park and a surrounding flea market to look around and shop. The metro is only a 5 minute walk. The room itself was incredibly cozy. I had the best sleep. The windows have covers so that it is nice and dark in the room. The street is not loud so you can sleep peacefully. My only complaint is that flushing or running the shower causes a lot of noise while using which could disturb the person sleeping in the room. Otherwise, this place had everything! I would stay here again.
