It was quite all right, except that there is only one bathroom in the flat. Renee was nice and friendly but he wasn't around most of the time. Breakfast is all right.

This B&B is superbly located for anyone visiting Rome, who is using public transport and whose requirements are practical. If you want clean, comfortable, friendly, handy, relaxed, it's all here, and more. It's a cross between an apartment and a hostel. The neighbourhood is "littered" with great eateries, and Rene (the proprietor) is successfully generous with recommendations for efficiently "touring" Rome (public transport, lesser-known sights, restaurants etc). We went to Naples in the middle of our stay in Chaplin and Rene was more than happy to let us store our bulk luggage so that we could do Naples "light". We found that Rene thoughtfully considered each of our of requests and his responses drew on his own considerable experience as a traveler. Highly recommended!

Great location just a few minutes walk from Termini, but the best aspect of this B&B is the owners. Extremely knowledgable about everything in Rome, they were able to save us valuable time and money with their recommendations. The B&B is super clean, very secure and breakfast is very tasty. It was a home away from home for us.

We stayed two nights at the Chaplin. Our accommodation was not bad in some respects. We faced a quiet courtyard. Our bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Rene was helpful in giving us advice. It was cheap at only 55 Euros per night. Beyond those good things, there is not too much we can say that is positive. Doors creaked very loudly and broken tiles clattered. The floors did not appear clean and felt gritty underfoot. The shared bathroom was tiny and had a dirty bathmat which one had to cross to reach the toilet and basin. There was insufficient bedding and we had to search for more because we were so cold. A creepy crawly critter crept out from between the teabags, so I was suspicious of what might have been lurking in the breakfast cereal (which I declined). When friends showed us their lovely, quiet accommodation in a desirable area which only cost then 68 Euros, we felt we would have rather paid more and had what they had.
