amazing city stay!

easy locationrainfall showergreat viewsstreet noise

I loved the location near the basilica di santa maria maggiore! getting around was so easy, and the metro station nearby made exploring the city a total breeze. the room was clean and modern.. i especially appreciated the rainfall shower. It was super refreshing after a long day. i also found the rooftop bar to be a great spot for evening drinks, with pretty sweet views!

The noise from the street at night was quite noticeable. it made falling asleep a little difficult. Maybe thicker windows would help?
