I loved this place. I read some of the reviews and figured these were people who were really aching to stay in the heart of the tourist district but weren't sure about shelling out the money. I'm not one of these people. I'd rather be closer to where actual people live. ( i also hate the olive garden)
As for the room- it's a nice, clean room that reminded me of someone' s grandmother house, minus all the family photos. We were given keys (room, front door, other door and gate.at first i wasn't sure if i should feel secure with all the keys or alarmed with all the keys) and a map.
If you can speak to the son or speak Itlaian or spanish to the owner, you will have a great time here. The owner really wanted to make sure we had a good time. At the end of one night, he saw us and waved us in to the Shiva Bar, where he brought us drinks and we chatted in broken Spanish. THen he went next door and got the bakers to give us free, fresh bread straight from the oven. He also pointed us to the best pizza place in the area (wow, it was good).
Everything is walking distance from this hotel or you can take the tram (do not take the 64 bus as we've been told there's lots of pickpockets on it). We walked to all the major sites in Rome from our hotel and didn't have a problem. However, we are both healthy and without knee problems.
I loved Travestere, much more than the historic district. At night, there's lots of street side cafes and wine bars that open. Even some bead shops!
NO, if you are expecting the four seasons, you will be unhappy with this place but if you want a cool, friendly owner that will help you out and low key accomodations that are clean, then I highly recommend this place.
I loved it.
