Carmen's place is warm and welcoming. Checking in was a bit challenging since I did not have any service while traveling. However, when I was able to connect to the internet Carmen had immediately sent someone over to check us in. Carmen's place felt like a tiny home that was equipped with a kitchenette, a restroom that was well heated, a closet area, TV and bed. Most importantly it is located in the heart of Rome and near main attractions such as Trastevere for the delicious food scene across the bridge, the Vatican, and even the Pantheon, and the fountain of Trevi. We had an absolutely beautiful time in Italy, part in due to Carmen's hospitality, being so close to main attractions, and a beautiful plaza that has a farmer's market set up daily.
