Everything about Joyful Guest House was just that - Joyful! Ilaria goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. It is the classiest eco-budget lodging a person could want in a city. She puts a lot of thought into the details of the place. It is only about a 3ish minute walk to the train (the Termani station is huge, so look for her street and station exit on the map first). Joyful Guesthouse is centrally located and we walked to everything (except Vatican City) - and that was even a quick ride away - just a few stops on the metro! Roma is such a walkable city - it is amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and only took the train to Vatican City. It was so amazing to discover Rome from Ilaria’s place. She is from Milan and has called Roma home for many years. She gave us a map upon arrival and showed us the lay of the land and made us feel right at home. Grazie mille per la grande ospitalità Ilaria!!!
