We were looking for a great priced stay that had good reviews and was in a convenient location. Buongiorno Roma provided that for us. Patrizia was a wonderful hostess for our stay and even offered to come pick us up at Termini (the train station) when we first arrived. This helped us immensely as we were able to get our bearings of the area and see the Yellow Line train that we needed to take to get to and from the bed and breakfast (which provided a quick and easy ride for us right back to Termini).
Buongiorno Bed and Breakfast is located in what is considered an ethnic neighborhood, but we had no fear of our safety even at night. Everyone was friendly in the area and helpful. It gave an interesting view of a part of Rome I hadn't seen before. We were near several wonderful eateries. While they didn't necessarily know English they knew Patrizia (who called ahead for us) and were extremely gracious in bridging the gap in language. There is even a gelataria located just around the block. Walking to the restaurants was easy and again, there was no fear for our safety even at night.
The breakfasts would be considered "continental," but the selection is most definitely Italian. We sought out a couple of the items and brought some back with us. Great coffee too! The red apple juice was a favorite as well.
Like I said, taking the Yellow Line to Termini was easy where you have to take a quick hike to the subway and easily reach other destinations around the heart of Rome. We got the Roma Pass and used it for metro travel using both the subway and yellow line back to the bed and breakfast. The tobacco shop nearby can also provide train tickets. Don't forget to validate them.
The Yellow line also passes right through the well preserved, ancient Porta Maggiore. Well worth a stop between Termini and the bed and breakfast.
If you need to do laundry, there is a laundromat nearby, but they are full service and can be considered a little more pricey than a self-service laundromat. Either way, it was convenient for us.
The elevator to get up to the top floor to Buongiorno Roma was an interesting experience. Small and unique. I also enjoyed sitting in the window in the bedroom and watching the Roman neighborhood come to life. It's quite an interesting experience all around.
Patrizia also offered to take us back to Termini for our outbound journey to Napoli. She didn't have to and I know she isn't always able to, but it was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we got caught in a Roman traffic jam (rush hour) and Patrieza rushed us to the nearest yellow line station to get us on our way. By the way....a note to Patrizia: We caught our train to Napoli just in time!!
