We stayed for four nights at this lovely B&B in Rome and do not have a bad word to say about it. The location is perfect for seeing central Rome, almost... opposite a lovely church, close to Piazza Narvona and the Pantheon. We walked to all the main sites from here. (But there is a bus stop and a taxi rank nearby if you prefer not to walk all the time). Our room (one of just 3) was extremely clean, warm and comfortable, with lots of storage space, and a small but adequate fridge big enough to store milk, wine, snacks and drinks. The B&B provided a hairdryer and iron but not coffee making facilities, however there is a small coffee shop opposite (where you have breakfast). Luckily we had taken a travel kettle, coffee and cups so we were able to buy fresh milk from the Spar along the road which we stored in the fridge. They also supply a safe, in your room, free of charge and a dvd player which played UK dvds and CDs so bring some if you like to chill in your room to recover from all the walking you will do. The BB owners ask you to advise them of your arrival time so that they can make sure someone is there to greet you. We had expected to arrive in the morning and emailed the owner, Andrea. He said that check in was not until 12.30pm but kindly offered to look after our luggage until we could get into the room. Check out time is early, I think it was 10am to give them time to clean the room properly, but again they agreed to look after our bags afterwards. As it turned out, on our last day Andrea very kindly said that as the room was not booked after us we could leave later. The flat does look over a busy square and junction, which can be quite noisy when the window is open, but with the window closed you hardly hear anything. The window also has great black out shutters, which are lovely if you want to have a lie in. The flat is on the 4th floor but there is a lift, which although looks very old, runs smoothly. (Just make sure you shut the doors properly when you get by Gail S from Cambridge on 03/20/11
