We stayed at Salvatore and Nicoletta’s place from September 18th-21st.
The location as described is very convenient - less than a 5 minute walk to Roma Termini! Unfortunately, we found that the location itself is in a less than desirable area. We were pretty caught off guard and it’s just something I thought was important to share for future travellers. There were many groups of people loitering & drinking on steps and on the street all over the area at most hours of the day. It was also quite noisy. Upon doing more research I learned that there is a poorly rated hostel across the street which I believe contributed to the loitering.
Check in and check out were incredibly smooth and Salvatore was always available within minutes over chat for any questions we had. The sharing cupboard in the common area was a wonderful touch! The common area in general was very cozy and welcoming. The room itself however we found was quite cold and bare. The air conditioner was very loud and woke us up several nights when it would turn back on. There is no counter space in the bathroom so staying for a couple days was a struggle when we had to leave our toiletries on the floor.
We are grateful to have stayed at Nicoletta and Salvatore’s but we definitely believe there are little things that could be fixed to make this place better.
All our best,
Ryan and Jenna
