The only saving grace of this place is the location. Perfect for touring Rome and only 3-4 blocks (12-15 minute walk) from public transportation (subway) which takes you into the heart of Rome to see everything. But that is the only good thing about this place. It is a "hostel" where 3 other rooms are rented out, mostly to lower twenty-something people who were up all night talking and laughing. Walls very thin. We closed our eyes as well as our ears. There are a few small places to get pizza and the like but no real nearby shopping. If you will have a car, definitely don't stay here. You are on your own to find a place on the street, and if you have ever tried parking legally in a city in Italy, well, good luck. We ended up putting our car at end of street and waiting 2 hours for someone to move and then go running out to move our car to a legal and safer place. When we asked our host about parking, before our arrival, he never answered us. We understood why after we booked the place. The apartment itself was very safe with 3 locked doors to the room. The neighborhood seemed okay for the most part also. A big issue was the lack of heat. We were here in January so very cold. We were told the heat only comes on at 8pm and then off again at 8am. Well, both nights we stayed, it came on for few minutes and then off, the rest of the night. It may have come on sporadically thru the night but the room stayed cold the entire time we were there. We did complain about it rather profusely, to no avail. Nothing changed. We could have used additional blankets. If that wasn't bad enough, there was absolutely no hot water the second morning for a shower. We even waited a few hours but apparently, when the heat is off (hot water heated radiators in rooms), then no hot water at all. So get ready for a very cold sponge bath. WiFi only worked in kitchen area and even then, was somewhat spotty. Bathrooms were filthy. Hair in sink and we were a little afraid of the tiny, mildew infested shower. But we braved it for the first morning. Second morning ... well, see above. OK, that covers it for the most part. So in short, if you want to be close in to Rome to see it all, this place gets you there. I think the price is way above what it should be for a place like this, despite the location. All in all, there are other cheaper and/or better places to stay near Rome, so probably best to keep looking and use this place as a last resort.
