We loved our experience with Home in Rome. It was the BEST location, we could walk to most places. There are so many restaurants close by, the bus, train, and taxi stand are all a 5 minute walk, and the neighborhood was our favorite of all we saw in Rome. Some reviews mentioned it being noisy at night, so I brought ear plugs, and I wasn't kept awake at all. Also, the fact that the door opened right into the street was not an issue at all. The street is not busy and we never felt like it was an issue. We had everything we needed provided for us, there we more than enough towels for the two of us, and we had fabulous communication with the hosts. The next time we visit Rome, we hope to stay again.
