Our host, Alejandro was super lovely, very communicative, and left great tips for how to enjoy the area. The rooms are beautifully decorated, but the best part of the stay is the location. Very easy walk to everything you need and more!
It surprised me, however, just how much the house is like a hostel. We had planned to stay for a month to immerse ourselves in the city, but left after two weeks because we were so uncomfortable. Beds are rock hard, the pillows flat, and there’s zero ventilation in the room so after being gone for the day it’s hot and humid inside.
Alejandro’s lovely staff is there to clean almost every day, and yet the bathrooms remained filthy.
You can tell the house is a passion project that he is very excited to make better, I just don’t know that it’s ready for guests. Every day we were awoken to the sounds of banging, sawing and screwing as they made improvements to things. It made use of the public spaces feel awkward, as your in a construction zone.
Too long of a story short, if you’re booking a short stay and just want somewhere to sleep after exploring how wonderful Roma is, then this place is a deal.
