Room - Super clean and professionally kept. Room service every day. Quiet and cosy for a good night's sleep.
Location - So close to Termini Station so it is so convenient. We took the shuttle bus from Ciampino airport for €6.50 per person and to Fumicino airport for €7 per person in 30 minutes. There is a bus stop literally in front of the flat for the local bus that takes you straight to Termini Station too. On foot it is less than 10 minutes walk. There is a nice food court in Termini Station for a quick bite. Lots of shops and little stalls around the area. There is also a nice park with its very own ruins next to the flat, in front of Vittorio Emmanuel metro station. From the metro station it is 3 minutes walk to the flat. Granted, the area around the flat has many vagabonds and loiterers, so you may like to stay in your group and not walk around late at night for your own safety, as is the general feeling in big cities like Rome. You do share the flat with two other rooms, even though you have your own bathroom but luckily we had no neighbours during our stay so it was very private.
Amenities - Air-conditioning in the room was a big plus. Room service was a nice surprise. No washer in the flat but there is a laundromat around the corner. Breakfast, milk, juice, biscuits, coffee and tea were provided. WiFi was fast and good. If the bathroom floor gets a little too wet, just leave the bathroom door open for an hour with the air-con on and it will dry fast. There is a vintage lift to the flat that is narrow but fast and endearing. There is a small garden/airwell for smokers. First aid kit supplied and emergency exits clearly marked.
Host - Mauro is hilarious and quick to respond. He speaks good English. He greeted us but another housekeeper, Liliana showed us around the place, and managed to communicate about the amenities, route to the city centre and shops in the surrounding area. They can arrange airport transfer for you if you like.
Extra - I do recommend a hop on hop off bus tour to see all the sights in a city that is so large and contains so much. Remember that you have to pay €3.50 per person per night City tax upfront to whoever greets you.
