“I see a guesthouse steps from Vatican City, where the host's personal touch stands out, from espresso on arrival to invaluable local advice. Rooms feature appealing period decor, and a shared kitchen invites cost-conscious travelers to prepare meals; I particularly note the quiet setting, a welcome respite amid Rome's bustle.”
