Sam was an excellent host. Did an excellent job at reception when we arrived, Throughout our stay helped us with getting around Rome on the public transport system and advising us on places to eat and see and how to get there.
If you are in any way on a budget ( Euro 115 / day in our case ) Sam like like many other hosts will likely put you in a room that bears little resemblance to the photo images that he uses in his web page. Our room was acceptable but not one to linger in.
We believe that we got fair value , we would visit again and the helpfulness of our hosts made a big difference.
