Roberto is a sweet and generous host. Let him offer you tips for your trip to Rome, you won’t regret it. I got to enjoy local attractions and places to eat that I never would have discovered on my own. He’s super responsive; when I had a problem with the toilet one evening (my own doing) he was able to sort it out early the next day.
The place is nice, small, and clean, with towels and basic amenities. There was a pack of cakes too, a super welcome touch after 12 hours of traveling.
The place is a block away from a Metro station and a tram stop, and about a 15-minute walk to the Roma Termini station. Public transport in Rome is uncomplicated; you can get to the Vatican and other attractions quite easily.
If you’re looking for an unfussy place to stay that’s worth more bang for your buck, consider Roberto’s place.
