Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited room choice — There is only one room type: a one-bedroom apartment with a double bed. It may not suit larger groups or those needing twin beds.
- Parking is public, not private — The property offers public parking nearby, which in central Rome can mean limited availability and extra cost.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the property does not permit animals.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you arrive late, you may miss the check-in window (15:00–23:00), and there's no mention of 24-hour reception.
