    Small. Refrigerator didn’t work well. More challenging to check in than expected as host wasn’t on site when we arrived.

    Location was nice - near public transit

    The apartment is in an excellent location for all of the sites. We loved the Monti area. Gina, the host, was brilliant and she went above and beyond to accommodate and welcome us. She even woke up with me at 3am to assist with getting a taxi back to the airport which was very kind. Thank you so much Gina! The beds were super comfortable which is just what you need after a day of walking around Rome. I would definitely recommend this place and would certainly stay again!

    The street was fairly quiet but the main street nearby had enough noise of traffic and rubbish collection throughout the night that we had to close the window in the early hours and use air conditioning, as otherwise it prevented sleep. But this worked fine. The bathroom door is not sound proof at all. I would have liked a central bathroom light as the mirror light was harsh. No breakfast is included despite the name but you know this from the start. You have a kettle and mini fridge.

    Location excellent, we only had one day in Rome and we were able to get to central sites quickly on foot, even the Vatican was only about 30 mins walk as the furthest point (tip: get there early, at 08.30 we still had to queue for 1 hour to get in). Also it is quite close to Termini train station so that made arrival with heavy backpacks easy. For value for money, I thought very good as Rome is expensive. Area felt safe, and safer than closer to Termini. Great to use it as a base and have your own keys and come and go as you wish. Friendly host, thank you Gina! Shower good and warm which was welcome after a hot day of walking. They made up 2 single beds as requested which we appreciated as 2 friends. The icecream on the corner opposite Santa Maria Maggiore entrance was fantastic - especially melon and coffee flavours!

    Gina was very welcoming and helpful. She gave us clear instructions and returned our messages very quickly. She was at the property when we arrived, even though we were early. She helped us with any questions we had about the property and the vicinity. We appreciated the free breakfast at a neighbourhood cafe that were very welcoming also.

    The WiFi was out when we were there (which the host told us it was), but it did not cause any problems as we were not dependent on it.

    The location was excellent and Gina was very friendly and helpful when needed. My spouse and I had 2 large suitcases and it was a smaller room, so it was cozy, but no complaints. Great price for the location!

    Our bedroom, located towards the court was very noisy in the morning as we could hear every person talking while going down the stairs. The shower doors barely closed.

    The location is perfect, we went everywhere on foot, close to the colosseo and other touristic places

    I have no complaints. I had to work while in Rome (online), and another outlet would have been fantastic, but it was not a hardship at all.

    Excellent location, walkable to many historic sites, close to public transit, in a real neighborhood. Lots of amenities -- food, markets, laundromat -- nearby. Room was very suitable for one person. Neighborhood was quiet. Gina is a welcoming host!

    The sign to show where the accommodation is. Maybe give her contact nr with booking. Other than that nothing. I enjoyed my stay.

    Gina was on time. Clean and neat. I had a whole appartment to myself. She made contact with my next host to organize my pick up as I could not phone in Italy.

    A couple more electrical outlets would have been nice.

    She was fully equipped in a B&B as if we were staying in a hotel. Including mini-fridge, biscuits & tea, very personal & professional at the same time. There was no breakfast on site, but she gave us a voucher for a cafe a few steps away for coffee & croissant. 4-euro 24-hour parking on the street basically at the door, at a parc-o-meter.

    Rude and unwelcoming, save yourself the trouble! Never experienced such a bad customer service, left in a bad mood and uncomfortable. - Lateness My boyfriend and I got to the B&B at 6pm, we had to wait 20min for the host to arrive, not having any direction to the entrance or reception. We also couldn't find her at check-out. - Rudeness The host Gina greeted us without saying hello in a very unwelcoming manner, directly starting by stating that we had booked the room for 1 person only, which we admitted and apologized for because we had made an honest mistake. She then kept making passive-agressive comments saying that booking a hotel room was like booking a table at a restaurant, when making a booking for 2 persons. We kept apologizing and said we would pay for the difference, she then said she didn't want our money. She then asked to pay 2 city taxes for 2 people, which we agreed to pay in cash. She didn't have change so we couldn't pay her so we all agreed to pay the next day at check-out. - Check-out We got out of our room at 10am, looked around and called out in the hallway but nobody was in so we left the keys on the door and messaged her as we had to leave and didn't want to wait for her again and making us late. She then kept on sending agressive messages and threats on both Whatsapp and via Booking.com to my boyfriend, calling him a liar and a thief, whilst she lied herself not accepting our money!!! - Other customers feedback On our way out after checking out we bumped into 2 other customers who said they also found Gina very unwelcoming and passive-agressive. They also stated there was no air conditioning and cockroaches!!! The host Gina shouldn't work in hospitality and think about a career reconversion as she clearly doesn't have the right approach!!

    I thought I was booking a hotel. I didn’t realize it was an apartment that had been turned into three separate units. It was still nice but I was expecting a hotel with a lobby.

    Very clean, quiet and comfortable. The host Gina was pleasant and helpful.
