  : It was good location and clean enough, but.
  : The first surprise we have got when the keys from our room I have got in the shop near Vatican planet guest house. I had to pay for our staying by CASH. Nobody warned me about it in advance. What if I didnt have enough cash that moment? We have ordered staying with breakfast. It was strange to find out that breakfast is just croissant, coffe and juice in the cafe near guest house. No sandwiches, no tea, nothing. I have paid for the normal breakfast, but havent got it. In the kitchen of this guest house was impossible to find any plate or spoon to make breakfast or lunch at the room.

  : The air mattress is not very comfortable. Consider adding another twin bed for 4 people.
  : Space was tight. It should be explained in the ad.

  : GOOD POINTS: The location is in the heart of Rome -- about 25 minutes' walk away from the Vatican and 15 minutes' walk away from Ottaviano Metro station (and thus access to the rest of Rome). Hence, it can be noisy early in the morning (as early as 7:30am). However, it quietens down about 8pm. The food was ... well. I received cards for a free 'breakfast' (i.e. a cappuccino and croissant) at a nearby cafe. It wasn't exactly substantial, but it was filling and ... adequate. There was nothing more. I went to a nearby market, the Mercato Trionfal, to buy other essentials - fruit, vegetables, sandwiches - to fill up on while walking around Rome. Luckily, prices for essentials in Italy are very good. The room is tiled throughout and there are no carpets, so it gets quite cold at night (even in summer). An extra blanket was provided, which was welcome. Lastly, the European SIM card for my mobile phone didn't allow me to make calls. For my last day, I asked my host Claudia to book a taxi for the following morning (as I had an early flight to catch). Luckily, she agreed and booked the taxi, which I was very grateful for.
  : BAD POINTS: Please be aware that the owner of this room will charge you cash in advance (roughly 100 Euros per night). This is relatively cheap, but you get what you pay for. The advertisement on Booking.com says that this room has a safe. This is only half-true; there is a safe, but it was broken and not fixed. The advertisement also promises a kettle for making hot drinks. There was no kettle. (Yes, this is a minor point, but being able to make a cup of tea helps). There is no way to cook meals except a foul-smelling microwave. Lastly, there is no way to cool the room; I was here in mid-to-late May, when Rome starts to get hot and humid. There's also no way to keep out the mosquitos and other insects other than keeping the window shut, which doesn't do wonders for getting fresh air. CONCLUSION: If you can afford it, stay somewhere nicer. I wouldn't stay here again.
