This was a lovely base from which to explore Rome. The details were beautiful, and I loved all the extra touches. The bed was wonderfully comfortable.
The only drawback was the noise. You hear everything from the public areas of the building (although you do not hear the tourists from the street). Because I was on the last few days of my journey and feeling worn out, I spent more time than expected resting within the room. From some sort of machinery starting at 8am on a Monday, waking me from sleep and keeping me from continuing to sleep, to the (admittedly charming) sounds of someone singing passionately along to a favorite Italian song, to other guests with a demanding child standing in the hallway, the noise is something to keep in mind. When I wanted more quiet, I simply put on my headphones and listened to beautiful music. If you will be out and about most days beginning early, then you won’t even notice it! The nights were peaceful, and the bed was absolute heaven.
I loved the people watching from the hallway overlooking the fountain, and Paolo was the ultimate host, even letting me leave my backpacks at the room prior to check-in as he prepped the room for my stay.
The kitchen was well equipped, although I only used it for the Nespresso machine, which I loved!!!
