The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was not. It didn't smell like urine, poop or mold. It smelled like straight dead fish. I do not know how the cleaners could leave it like that. Low water pressure in sink and shower.

Charming apartment with a very convenient location. A mile to Colosseum, 2.5 to Vatican City, 2.5 to Trevi Fountain, 2.0 to Spanish steps. Easy walking to many locations. I highly recommend the Marco G Osteria ristorante, only a 6 minute walk away. Bravo!

It was not what I expected at all. The hotel was mediocre at best. The room had a smell to it. The area was not the best. The breakfast was not great as they only have toast, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt and some type of eggs.
