Hospitales del Pellegrino Trastevere

The host lives in the location. She prepared breakfast and dinner for us with no additional charges. The decoration is a bit too much but was clean.

Emma, the lady who runs this property is kind and generou. From the moment we arrived she treated us like family. She sjowed us our room and gave us time to relax and settle in while she prepared a wonderful Italian lunch for us and we talked and ate and drank wine and she shared stories and tips on the neighborhood. The next morning she had a wonderful breakfast for us. She drove us around to ahow us some beautiful sites ( non tourist sites) and rhen dropped us off at Vatican City. Above and beyond what you'd expect from renting a room for a few days. The room was clean and safe. The neighborhood was safe and convenient for restaurants and shopping. If you want to see Vatican City, The Colliseum, The Vatican and orher ateas of Rome you'll need to get a taxi as the apartment is not walking distance to any of these. There are many cafes, restaurants, pizzeria's, bars, etc. that are within walking distance.

Very unique and Emma is great!

Emma, the host, was wonderful, pleasant, and interesting. She doesn't speak any English, and I only know a few words of Italian, but she had a voice translator, and we made it work. We stayed one night, and she prepared a breakfast - heated a nice chocolate croissant and made a very good cappuccino. The place is small. Basically just a kitchen, a room for her, and a guest room. The kitchen and guest room are decorated in a rather wild style, with some art created by her family. This is most unique place you're likely to stay at. The big caution though is that the listing advertises air-conditioning. This isn't true. The room contains a fan with some evaporative cooling, but that's not A/C. There's a small basement window to street level, when open, you hear people above walking by. I can't confirm wifi. I didn't ask, but I didn't see any open wifi, and no wifi info was given. The area looks a little rough, but we were out at night and it still felt safe. It's nice that this property is right next to the train station - easy access to the airport. The immediate area, and area to the south are not touristy. This is the "real" Rome. Within easy walking distance to the north, you get into the more touristy area of Trastevere.
