We had a pleasant stay in the studio eventhough a big misunderstanding with the check in and check out organization…(we’ve lost some money but it’s fine). The studio is really nice and well decorated although it’s small. I would recommend the place for 2 people with a small budget and for a short stay (4-5 days). The location is really great it’s a 5 minutes’ walk from Termini (train station) and there’s a subway station just in front of the door. You don’t really need the subway/metro to visit Rome because you can definitely do everything by foot! (We walked 75km in 4 days though!).
You need to know that you cannot really cook a meal (there’s only a microwave) and when we arrived in the room it has just been cleaned but the bed sheet was dirty, there was some stains on it (it was probably clean but the stains were still on it, they are probably old but it’s not appealing). Also there was some tiny red ants wandering around in the room and the bathroom (we have no idea how they came…especially just after the room has been cleaned).
Also the room/studio is located in a big apartment divided in 4 studios and the view from the window is not worth the look…(it’s looking like a dodgy inner courtyard). In the entrance of the apartment you have a common space with tea, coffee and biscuits.
We didn’t saw Pietra at all during our stay. A young boy that she hired for the summer gave us the keys. I only got to spoke with her on the phone for 5 minutes, she’s really nice and speaks well English.
Finally, I didn’t really liked the fact that the boy took pictures of our ID, apparently it’s to report the people coming in the apartment to the police…It’s the first time it happens to me.
Ps : don’t forget that you will have to pay the tax when you arrive at the place (3,5 euros per night and per person!) !
