The hosts were very friendly and responded quickly to messages. Check in was great, Donatella’s husband showed us the place, recommended some restaurants and even gave us a welcome drink. Additionally the location was excellent, a nice, lively neighbourhood with Rome’s centre only a short walk away. The room was also nicely decorated and cosy.
Sadly however, the room was damp, with a lingering mouldy smell whenever the fan was turned off. There was also some mould on the wooden ceiling. It was a little difficult to breathe in the room but it was a bit better with the fan on. I think it was due to the interior shower and the shower ventilation not being the best. Not really anyone’s fault or a problem with a quick fix, but a shame none the less.
I feel bad to give a 3 star rating given the good points at the start but I was surprised by the problem when most of the existing reviews were 5 stars. This is a nice little place in a great location, and that’s what mattered most for us visiting Rome anyway.
