“L'Altra Luna THE best ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2010

Stayed at L'Altra Luna for a week in November. Being a solo traveler, feeling safe and comfortable can make or break my vacation. As I walked from the Termini train station I thought that perhaps I'd made a mistake in my choice to stay here. But as soon as I arrived at the apartment and met Flora my doubts were put to rest. She is so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I felt as if I had arrived at a long lost relatives home for a visit. I can't stress enough how wonderful it was to stay there and know that if I had any problem, anywhere during my trip that I could call Flora.
I walked everywhere and took the Metro or 70 or 71 bus back at night. The stops are about a block away from the apt. I was never bothered by anyone when walking in the area alone at night..
The bed was very comfortable, I always woke refreshed. The bathroom was very nice and updated. Having the kitchenette was a plus, always appreciate when I can make a cup of coffee or have a cold drink at any hour.
Be sure to go to Il Forno at Campo de Fiori for Pizza Bianca... watch them make the HUGE plain pizza bead and serve slabs of it hot from the oven....my mouth waters.
I truly loved my stay at L'Altra Luna and wish that I could find a place just like it for every vacation destination !

“Great location with very helpful host”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

Situated just a couple of blocks away from Termini station L'Atra Luna is ideally situated for touring the sights of Rome with easy access to Metro, bus and trams. A spacious room with a little kitchen and a lovely breakfast provided each morning by Flora. The B&B was booked on the days we were retuning to Rome a month later and Flora went out of her way to arrange another B&B for us to stay in.

“Loved staying at L'Altra Luna!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2010

We really loved staying at L’Altra Luna. Overlooking an inner courtyard in a typical older Roman apartment building, the flat is very clean, welcoming, and quiet. The room is large and comfortable, with no TV or Internet, which was great! Very nice bathroom. The table in the kitchen was laid each night for a good breakfast, with yogurt and milk in the fridge and coffee ready to be made. Assunta also brought in fresh fruit for us.
The flat has a great location, very near the metro, tram, buses, and train station, and we walked to the Coliseum. However, if you are flying into Rome with suitcases, do ask Assunta to arrange for a shared taxi/shuttlebus from the airport. It was only 31 euro for both of us, and they take you right to the door. It’s quite reliable, and we took it to the airport as well. The neighborhood is an interesting one of mixed ethnicities, with a large covered market (fruit, vegetables, fish, etc.) a block away, and a marvellous gelato place—Palazzo del Freddo—two blocks away. The area felt very safe.
Finally and especially, we had a great time talking with our hostess, Assunta. She has excellent English, was very helpful, and really enjoys meeting her guests.

“Lovely Assunta and L'altra luna”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010

Sweet Assunta, she takes care of everything just like a mam let you feel like home; I spent 3 nights there, very convenient area to visit Roma, Very near from Termini, but if you are lazy to take walk to Termini, just take MRT at Vittorio E. :)

“Great balance between privacy and friendliness: much better than a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2010

It's lovely to stay in a 'real' flat in one of the courtyards of Rome. A large, quiet room overlooking an internal courtyard meant good sleep. The bathroom has been particularly well renovated. Unfortunately our visit coincided with renovation noise from next door, but don't let that put you off - it's a lovely place to stay.
The area is near the station, with a very diverse population, including students and minority ethnic groups, which means more Indian and Chinese restaurants than Italian in the immediate vicinity. The market, with wonderful fresh fruit and veg and some interesting bargains (including Italian-made suits, etc.) is literally yards away in the same street.
Assunta, our host, came and went, giving us just enough advice on where to go and sharing a laugh in excellent English. If you stay there, take her advice about going to eat at the little wine bar where her husband cooks. It's the sort of place you wouldn't find as a tourist, and it's only five minutes' walk. The winelist is extensive and the handwritten menu is negotiable - on our second visit we asked for, and got, something we really liked on our first visit.
