If you enjoy a more laid back and not "buttoned down" atmosphere the location of this room is dead center of Trastevere immediately around the corner from the best night life and eating if you will find in the city. Additionally, of the major things to see in Rome, the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica are the farthest at just less than a 40 minute walk and Rome is a famously walking city. I walked to those locales as well as the Coloseum, The Forum, The Pantheon and Trevi Fountain all with this spot as my homebase, it was great. Warning, the front window is completely covered by scaffolding and if you open it you will get dust and plaster as well as a mosquito got in and wreaked havoc for a night before I won my own gladiatorial battle against him. It is small but quaint and all i needed was a warm shower, a comfy bed and shelter from the cold. The only major detraction I have is that the mattress is very uncomfortable. It has a huge indentation on one side so much so that my fiancee slept on the floor on a futon cushion. I did wake up sore from it but nothing that the days walks couldn't work out over an hour. The shower does get warm but then varies from comfortably hot to luke warm on about a 20 second cycle, it'll keep you clean though. Owner is VERY responsive and helpful. The towels were clean when we got there but one had a stain on it and within a few hours he had brought new towels, wrapped in plastic fresh from the cleaning service. All in all, for the price it was a good deal that would have been a steal of the century with a mattress that was comfy. If you're young and want to stretch a buck, this is for you. If you aren't or have back, neck or shoulder issues I would spend a little more for a mattress that is soft and even.
