Nice but in hindsight, further out than i would have preferred (not ideal for the traveler that likes taking metros - rolling the suitcase along rough streets for several blocks is not the ideal). Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was adequate.

Unsafe and owner is rude.

We were treated so poorly when we tried to check in, to the point that the owner made us feel very unsafe. The lobby is the owner's living room and there are wires hanging out of the exterior of the building. There is a metal gate on a narrow street without any signage for the residence so it was difficult to find. However, we felt so unsafe by the owner that despite Hotels.com not doing much for us to assist us, we stayed at a hotel up the road for our stay in Rome and paid that hotel directly.

This is a nice place with a friendly and welcoming host, and onsite parking for a daily fee. Accommodation is on three floors, and no elevator - so be aware that you're going to have to carry your stuff upstairs. Breakfast was good, with some excellent bakeries, juice, and coffee or tea. Our room, on the top floor, was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a rooftop terrace too, from which you could see the statuary on St John Lateran if you leaned out a bit! It's within walking distance to the Baths Of Caracalla, Forum, and Colosseum if you're of regular fitness, and only a couple of minutes to San Giovanni in Laterano. You can do the circuit round all of them, taking your time. There's a Metro starion (San Giovanni) about 5 minutes walk away, and plenty shops just around the corner. I've no hesitation in recommending.
