    I really enjoyed my stay at B and D Dolce Vitta. When I first arrived there was a bit of confusion about how to get into the building, which wasn’t ideal (especially in the 30-degree heat after travelling!). It took me a little while to figure it out, so I think the check-in instructions could be made clearer. Once inside though, everything was great. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I also met Ben and his wife, who are the loveliest people—so kind and welcoming. They gave me lots of helpful tips about the local area and food spots, and it was always easy to reach them if I needed anything. The location is excellent: only about 5 minutes from the heart of Trastevere, and 5–8 minutes to the nearest bus or tram stop (no metro nearby). Personally, I found walking easier—most main sights are around 30–40 minutes on foot, which was perfect for me as a solo traveller. Trastevere itself is amazing if you love food and a lively atmosphere, but this B&B is tucked away in a quieter spot, so you get the best of both worlds. Overall, a lovely place to stay—especially if you’re travelling alone.

    The walls could use some cleaning of unsightly smudges and some fixtures were broken.

    A private small hotel room off a shared kitchen. Great location, quiet but a block from a main street and only 5 minutes walk to the restaurant center of Trastevere. AC worked great. Comfortable bed.

    The walls were a little thin, as other reviews were stating, but we had good good luck with the people staying there as well as there wasn’t much noise

    The location was very nice, this was my second time in Rome staying the Trastevere area and this time it was more enjoyable because the location was not so close to the more populated area and we were able to sleep. The location was close enough to a lot of restaurants and caffes so you didn’t have to walk a lot and central enough to be within 20-30 walking distance to other popular destinations.

    One of the walls in the room was affected by humidity. The room itself did not feel humid luckily. There wasn’t very good noise insulation so you can hear people talking from the next room. It wasn’t loud just something to consider.

    Location, the host was very friendly and available.

    Perfectly located, spacious room in a fantastic neighbourhood!

    We stayed in La Grande Bellezza with my husband and two boys (12 and 11 yo). This apartment was perfectly located in the buzzing neighbourhood of Trastevere near authentic restaurants and bakeries. We particularly liked the restaurant around the corner called Rione 13! The area was away from the hectic hustle and bustle of central Rome, which we really appreciated, and the tram was only 2 mins walk away to take you to the most important tourist spots. Even though everything is within a pleasant 30min walk, if you don't want to take the tram. If you have young kids, there's a playground - as well as a fresh fruit & veg market every morning - just around the corner. We also really liked the vegetarian food counter in the market! The room itself was more spacious than made out in the pictures, which was a pleasant surprise. We slept on the main double bed and on the sofa bed which comfortably fit myself and my 12 year old son. Everything was super clean and there was even shampoo and bodywash in the shower. We usually stay in Airbnbs that have kitchens and laundry facilities. Although, we didn't have a kitchen in our room, there was a well equipped shared kitchen just down the short hall with a fridge, microwave and sink (no oven). They also provided cutlery and glasses/mugs. I didn't see plates, but we bought our own paper plates. For laundry, there was an affordable launderette 5min walk away which worked just fine for us. It's important to note that the windows in the room look out into the courtyard of the apartment building, which is common in older Roman buildings, so we didn't get much natural sunlight, but that's ok as we didn't spend that much time in the room. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend Ben's place to anyone visiting Rome. Ben was also great at communicating with us!

    The walls were not so soundproof so we could hear the neighbours next door talking, nothing too much though. There was no noise at night. There was a problem with the door, it wouldn’t open with the code but Ben solved the problem very fast.

    It was in a great location, close to everything. The place was very clean, and Ben was so helpful with everything even though we had a problem with the code of the door at checking in! He answered and solved the problem immediately!

    It would have been great to have a mop for cleaning excess water in the bathroom and cleaning the kitchen floor. A working tv would have been nice too.

    It is located in an older Roman condo complex so if you are not familiar with older Roman buildings it may be off putting. The B&B has a central entrance into a hallway with serval rooms. The rooms all have electronic doors with a very simple code (easily guessed) to enter the individual room. There are no interior locks on the door nor a peep hole. As single traveler this was not very comfortable.

    Location is well located and walkable to transport/tourist locations.

    It was located in a quiet neighborhood. I could already tell it was a safe place before even arriving at the hotel, as they shared all the security procedures with me. I never had any issues with the codes. A perfect place to stay alone — safe, quiet, and clean! Plus, it’s very close to all the lovely spots in Trastevere. You can easily access the metro, bus, supermarkets, and everything you need.

    Shower had mould, soap wasn't filled (also not after we asked for it to be filled), apartment was always smelly when we entered, toilet seat was broken, in the shared kitchen was also a weird smell and no dish wash or sponge, sink in bathroom didn't really drain and thus left ugly marks after using. Bathroom a little small and room a little dark but that would all be ok if the place was kept in good condition. Really a shame considering the possibility of making it a nice place in this location.

    The only really good thing about this apartment is the location really.
