This is truly a B&B. It is a residence converted into a B&B. Marlene was really nice and is great to chat to, but if you're looking for luxury, this is not it. The location of the B&B is near great gelato place and is close to Termini and lots of Chinese restaurants, but the area in general seems pretty dodgy. The rooms really need some air conditioning - all we had was a noisy old fan, so we were pretty hot. The room was fine though and it was clean and spacious. Marlene is also kind to let you use the internet and treat it like your home. This is much more like a home experience. Also, it was extremely noisy from the street.

We traveled with 4 children to this B&B and rented all three rooms. Marlene was a wonderful host we felt we were visiting family in Rome. We had a very long trip and only two days in Rome she was able to give us a map and help us plan out all the details with insider tips for tickets etc that really helped when traveling with 4 kids. We rode the metro and the bus all very easy from this B&B. walking to main attractions was about 15 min as well, you get to see more if you walk it! We walked to the train to Venice the last day as well with our luggage we all only had one piece so it was easy if you had more you may want to cab. The BEST gelato we had in our 14 day stay was right around the corner. Marlene was smart to point us there first.
The area reminds me of the lower east side of NY, real Rome residents not touristy which is what we like. Marlene sent her husband and dog to meet us one night off the bus (we got back late) to be sure we found it OK but it was an easy walk from metro and Bus stop she just went the extra mile. Rooms were beautiful and breakfast was very nice. THANKS Marlene the kids are still talking about the expresso and their apartment in Rome you made the start of our vacation an easy transition to the Italian way of life.

It was a good bb, the location is nice, the owner is very friendly, she picked up us from the intersection and explains the tips in Rome. However, with hot weather and no air conditioning in the room, we barely sleep in the two night's stay. I rather pay more to get a cool room next time.

Thanks Marlene. This place was terrific and a great way to start our long trip in Europe. We were greeted like old friends at the door, arriving 830am after a 12 hour flight. Our room was ready so we were invited to unpack, shower and move in straight away. Ours was the room with the double bed, couch bed and ensuite bathroom. It was roomy, clean and quiet.

Marlene gave us the talk about Rome, complete with map. What to see, where to go, how to get on the nearest Metro train. It was 5 mins walk to the metro train, and tickets are $1 Euro for 1 trip, but can be used on buses for up to 75 mins also.

The daily breakfast started at 830, consisted of rolls, croissant, yoghurt and of course coffee. A good way to start the day with other guests (but there are only 3 rooms, so the place was never crowded). Marlene was very interested to hear where we had visited and gave tips on where to go next if we had questions.

There was a computer for guests, or wifi if you have a laptop or smart phone. This was easy to use and very helpful. Overall a great place to stay.
