“Clean, great breakfast.”

“By and large, it was amazing base for sightseeing in Rome, had much fun and met very amiable staff in a non intrusive professional manner. My room was decent sized with 2 bathrooms, had smoke detectors for safety measures. Having a hairdryer, a bidet, and guest toiletries was a bonus. The location was magnificent; close to a museum and a church. Was in a really quiet area and close to restaurants and eateries.”
