Overall, we were happy with the airbnb! The location couldn't have been better and the checkin was uncomplicated.
Advantages:
- The location was fantastic. It was easy to walk from the Termini train station (although on the way back it is uphill). It was really quick to walk to the Colosseum and you could also walk to the rest of the major sights in about half an hour. The neighbourhood was non-touristy, picturesque and safe. We would recommend the Trattoria al Tettarello restaurant nearby for the best prices and good quality.
- The room was very quiet. Sometimes you could hear the upstairs neighbours but I think this is characteristic of the old buildings in Rome.
- The checkin and checkout was uncomplicated and we could drop off our suitcases early.
Disadvantages:
- The amenities were very basic, there were no extra blankets (just sheets and duvet) and it got quite cold in early March. The drawer to put your clothes in doesn't open properly so we kept our clothes in our suitcase.
- There was only one set of coffee/tea cups in the corridor and there were two rooms in the guesthouse, so we weren't sure whether the other people would have some if we took them.
