Great location only 2 blocks away from Rome's Termini station. When i say 2 blocks, it is quite literally in stumbling distance, not some outrageous roundabout treck from the station.
When we arrived, we were met by Giovanna and her cousin, who made us feel instantly welcome, taking our bags (v.v.v.heavy after a long stay) and running up the stairs with them to the reception despite our protests. The B+B upstairs(belonging to family also) had a booked a family between two floors, so we were asked if we minded moving to accomodate the family on the same floor. We had no problems with this, as we were simply using the room as a place to leave our luggage and go explore. It was not an overly large problem whatsoever to move, but we felt as if we had done her a great service! Giovanna brought fresh juice and water to our room whilst we settled and gave us friendly tips and advice.
At breakfast, a wide variety of hot and cold drinks and pastries were on offer, and no request was too much. During breakfast, our bags were moved to the new room within B+B Giovy from upstairs. The new room was roughly twice the size of normal room, and was given to us for "putting up with her requests" and being so nice. As we left the hotel, she gave us juice, water and pastries to take with us on our trip into the city.
The next morning ran the same, and as we were leaving later in the afternoon, several hours after the official checkout time, we were concerned as to where to leave our bags, but we were told that we could leave them in the kitchen/dining room secure, and use any facilites to shower/wash and change that we wanted.
As we left, Giovanna gave my Girlfriend a small crystal colluseum to remind us of her and for being such "lovely smiley guests".
I would recommend this to any couple or family stopping through Rome for a few days ,as it was inexpensive, close to transport and restaurants and the Landlady, although unique in her style and way of going about things, was a real character who couldn't do enough to please you.
