The location is really bad, the bus goes whenever it wants and sometimes you have to wait about an hour till it arrives. To get to the right bus stop is really hard and takes ages for the first time. Information about arival to accomodation is almost useless. The same goes for information about accomodation. The loation is its biggest weakness. We were informed that Roma tax is included and it was not, we paid extra 50 Euro. I do NOT recommend this accomodation.

The Appartemet is clean and the Boss is nice. We have had free Lunch once. Tje Problem is that the bus is terrible in rom. We need to wait too long to catch the bus....

The accomodation was Ok, it is not in the centre, but assessible /Metro B (interval 3-6 min.) + bus 211 (interval 15-28 min.)/. The apartment was clean. It was in ground floor, in a normal clean apartment house. It should be more emphasise, that the apartment is not included only one room for 2 persons (in each room is encluded bathooom /wc, shower/ too), but there are 3 rooms with common kitchen, which included standard equipment. Thorugh the booking process there were also promised ticket to public transport, but (as we found out from the owner, when we arrived) that benefit is only given for them, whose are staing in Rome whole week. We stayed there for 4 nights, and we obtained from owner 4 vouchers/person for small breakfast /croissant + coffee/ gratis in a restaurant in the city centre. Summary: I recommend that apartment for others with above mentioned restrictions.

Besides the evaluation, this house is good.Have a supermarket at 50meters, so you can cook your own meals, when you are at home. The room is big and the kitchen whell equipped.Its a litter far from the train station,but you can catch a bus, at pietralata(subway station), and it stop at 30meters from the house.Its a quite place, to rest after a hole day travelling on Rome.

A little hint for visitors. Since the bus stops only for request there's impossible to know on which bus stop to get off the bus. Therefore I'd advise to press the "Stop" button immediately after noticing the "AGIP" petrol station on the left.

it's a house at a hostel price! it's really clean and comfortable as your own apartment. transport is quite easy, but you have to walk a little bit at night.

The most positive aspects: a wide bedroom, quiet neighbourhood, and a kitchen where you can have breakfast and dinner and save some money.

The negative aspects: it's quite far from the center.

If your priorities are the ones I have mentioned, I would recommend you this place.

The hostel is actually an apartment with three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a complete kitchen. The bedrooms are very confortable. It's a little bit too far from city center, but you can walk (20min) to the metro station that takes you everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay!

The room was very clean and well maintained. Important: if you dont call in advance you will not find anybody there. That happened to me. The location is too far from turistic sites.

no soucy no fun it is OK to sleep not more

the plus is that you share a kitchen which is an advantage on a real hostel
