    Great Location. Exactly what we wanted on a two day trip to Rome. Vatican City is a 5 minute walk away, many restaurants and cafes within a few minute walk. The Metro station is just a few steps away and easy to get anywhere in Rome. The apartment is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Guglielmo also gave us many local recommendations for food and things to do. It was perfect. I would book this apartment again if back in Rome.

    Great location and price, hostel had everything it needed. Keep in mind there is no Wi-Fi provided and since all rooms are downstairs there is limited service (pretty much none). Also there was no toilet paper provided, don’t know if this is a common issue but definitely annoying! Other than a few problems I had, this is definitely the best hostel for the price and location and I would stay there again.

    Honestly I have really liked this hostel. It is basic but warm, clean, safe, quite, with convenient location and nice staff. If you are looking for a fancy and full of services one this is not for you, but if you look for a clean, cheap and easy-going place to sleep in for few nights, then I totally reccomend it. I liked it a lot and I was totally satisfied with my stay. Also I have felt totally safe during all my stay and even leaving the luggage.
