Very clean, comfortable, convenient and peaceful. The owners could not have been more helpful. We liked having breakfast brought to our room as we don't feel like having to turn up in a hotel dining room first thing - this was much more convenient and relaxing. It's only 5 minutes from a tube station which were easy to use and good value. Only about 15 minutes walk to the Colosseum. Really pleasant and good value place to stay in Rome. The room had a fridge and there was a kettle for tea and coffee.

My husband and I stayed here in October for a short 5 day break. Giovanni's son picked us up from the airport and took us back on our return. This is quite an old apartment building and a couple of apartments have been turned into B & B's. Breakfast is bought to your room in the morning on a tray and is enough to get you started for the day, the coffee was excellent. The en-suite room was very clean. All the rooms are colour themed. We were in the orange room! The apartment is in a good location, opposite a market selling fruit and veg, only a short walk to the metro and about a 10 min walk to the Colosseum. The price was also good at 80 euros per night.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of July 2010 and it was amazing. Giovanni the hotel owner met us in the street (well we stumbled across him as we couldn't find the entrance!), and he took us up to the apartment/b&b and showed us our room. It was really nice, well decorated and clean, a decent size and it had a balcony! The bathroom was nice and pretty new too. There was a TV with digital channels, mainly Italian, but we didn't go to Rome to stay in and watch TV! There was a small table and chairs where Giovanni's wife brought us breakfast on a tray every morning. It was a really nice continental breakfast, with plenty to keep you going until pizza at lunch! The breakfast was served at anytime we wanted between 8 and 10 so that was good. The apartment block was really nice and boutique with an old cage style lift in the middle of the stairs.
The hotel was located just next to San Giovanni Cathedral and sqaure just outside the old city walls, and the metro station was only a 2 minute walk. There were plenty of buses into the centre where the metro didn't go to as well.
I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. At this price it was a bargain for the standard of accomodation and level of service. Giovanni was extremely helpful and explained where all the sights were and how to get there, and also recommended some fantastic restaurants.

My wife and I (in our fifties) just returned from Italy and spent 5 nights at Via Veio 52. The B&B is on the 4th floor of a typical Rome apartment building, and has only a few rooms. We like very much the neighborhood. It is only a block from the metro, and then 4 or 5 stops take you to the center of Rome, but it's far enough out to have more of a typical (non-touristy) neighborhood feel. Our first room was small, at the back of the building, with a large window, and then we moved to a larger room at the front of the building, also with a large window. We slept at night with the windows partly open with no problems. There is of course some street noise but you are high enough up that it's not annoying, and the street itself is a short, narrow side street without much traffic. Close by are a bank, restaurants, Internet cafe, a market, drug store, etc.

The rooms are very clean and basic, with comfortable (for us) beds. The kitchen is small and breakfast is simply self-service, with cereal, yogurt, or toast with juice, and access to a refrigerator, toaster, sink, etc. There is coffee, or head out on the street and in 5 minutes you can take your cappucino at a lively bar / shop.

We walked in the neighborhood several evenings and the area seems quite safe.

We were very happy here and I must express appreciation for the exceptional kindness of the owner, Bernardo. We would be pleased to stay there again, and Rome is wonderful.
