I had a very nice stay at the "shiny room in the heart of Rome". The hosts are very nice, the room is great- quite isolated from the rest of the home if the hosts don't use the sitting room (and they didn't when I was there) and with its own nice bathroom- a huge plus. It's on a tiny cute street and in a very good location and I liked the area (Parione). La Pizzeria Montecarlo across the street is very convenient and I liked the Emporio alla Pace cafe nearby to hang out for for breakfast. There were no real downsides for me but guests might like to know that the wifi is quite weak in the bedroom and the shower water isn't super hot, but these issues didn't affect me (ie. I got a data SIM card at the airport). I would have liked to chat more with Alessio and Martina as I think of myself as having an artistic / philosophical soul and perhaps have some common interests - maybe next time.
