I stayed at Mr. Franco's property for 5 days. I had previously agreed with him an estimated time at which I would arrive by public transport and I was pleasantly surprised to find that he was waiting for me nearby and we recognized each other at first glance. The property is very close to the 38 and 338 bus stops, which can very quickly take you to the Jonio metro station, from where you can easily reach any point in Rome. Right from the moment I arrived, Mr. Franco showed me and explained on a suggestive map, all the points I was interested in. The room I stayed in and the entire property are very clean, located in a block of flats on the 1st floor. Very easy access. The area is typical of residential neighborhoods, with garbage collection points that are not very clean, a situation that has nothing to do with the property or the owner, but characterizes the entire city, rather related to the city management. I didn't come by car but I found that finding a parking space can be problematic. I'm sure that by talking to Mr. Franco, you will find a reasonable solution. Breakfast was included in the price, however, keep in mind that it is Italian-style, with mini cakes, biscuits, coffee, tea, milk, etc. The property does have a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare, obviously within reasonable limits, pretty much whatever you want. In conclusion, to not prolong the discussion too much, I was very satisfied. Thank you Franco!

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. As description said there was tovels, haid dryer, shampoo, kitchen tools (to prepare own meal), washing machine (can be added to offer description) and nice Italian breakfast (coffee, tea, toasts, jam, sweetsnack). In top of evething owner Franco was very polite, funny and helpful. He explained everything, where is the transport, what to see in Rome, where to eat and how to use devices in apartment. Every question was answered in details.

The only thing that was not best was localisation of the apartament. The transport was not so bad, 2 buses near the district and one metro 20 minutes strol or change from this buses. The problem is not on owner side but generaly on Italy that on suburb is not so clean, like people dont fight with vandals and goverment for tidiness

The accommodation is exceptionally clean, with everything you need (a comfortable room, spacious bathroom with a shower, towels, and shampoos). You can use the shared kitchen, and every morning a small breakfast is included in the price (pastries, toast, jam, coffee). It should be noted that the accommodation is not in the city center, but it is well connected to the center by buses and the metro (the metro is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute bus ride from the accommodation). Public transport is relatively easy to use, and the host explains everything in great detail. The neighborhood seems safe. Highly recommended if a bit of travel to the center isn't a problem for you.

Everything was ok.

The room was spacious and clean and it is ideal for two people. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is also big enough, with a hair dryer, towels, toilet paper, shampoos and soap, basically all you need! The kitchen is shared and you can keep your food in the fridge and use the microwave. There are plenty of kitchen utensils you can use. Breakfast was good, with a coffee machine, tea cereals, milk, jam, bread to toast, sweets and cookies. The host, Franco is very friendly. He showed us how to move around the city on a map and also recommended us where to begin sightseeing. The location is away from the center, but taking the bus 38 you can get to the center in 50 minutes. The bus stop is very close to the hotel (just 3 min away). Another option is walking to the nearest metro station (15 min walk if you walk fast) and then going to the center. I recommend the bus as it's closer to the hotel and much less crowded than the metro. Night buses are also available at the location. To sum up, everything was excellent.

The host is very friendly, helpful and detail-oriented! As soon as we arrived he gave us 2 maps and he offered to show us the surrounding supermarkets and good restaurants, the options to travel to the city center and some walking routes to visit main attractions. The room was very clean, equipped with hairdryer, basket with shower gel, non-slip shower mat, shower dry mat and plenty of cloth hangers. The host thoroughly cleans the room and the mats after every guest (I have seen him in action!) The kitchen is fully functional. The breakfast is italian style, not continental! The B&B Birba is located at about 20 minutes walking from the metro station Jonio (one of B1's endings). Metro is the most reliable form of transportation in Rome!

Franco is pleasant host and very helpful. Place is clean and have everything that you need for short stay. The neighborhood is safe. Transportation: 10 min. walk from apartment to B1 metro line or you can wait for example bus 38 to reach metro. We bought ticket for all transport in Rome for 7 days which cost 24 euros per person. Our advice for everybody, avoid Termini as much as possible .Inside Termini station it is safe but outside is not.

We have stayed for 4 nights, and this appartment had everything we needed. It is located in the calm area with the good connection to the city centre. We used metro to comute and it was super easy and fast! The host was friendly and gave us tips how to comute and where to eat and what parts of Rome to visit. The appartment was clean and beautifuly decorated. We recommand this place to fullfill your Rome experience!

The bedroom and the attached bathroom and toilet were clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable. Pillows, bed cover, blanket and towels were provided. The host was friendly. He lives in the same property. Although he doesn't speak fluent English, he managed to explain essential information to us such as bus/metro connectivity between the property and the city, important tourist attractions etc. Check-in time was flexible. We were able to check-in late at around 11:45pm.

It would take atleast 45 mins to reach the city from the property. There is a bus stop nearby. But the buses are not punctual. We can not sometimes rely on the bus timing provided by google/other apps. Other option is to walk to the nearest metro station - Jonio, which is around 20-25 mins walk from the property. The neighborhood was not as clean as we expected. The breakfast were provided. However, it consists of only coffee, milk, cereals, some biscuits and bread.

The room and bathroom are very spacious. The whole room was very clean and colourful. Franco the host was very nice during check in and waited patiently especially that there was a delay in the arrival time. There is free coffee and breakfast on the property.

The only downside is the distance from the city centre, however the very nice accommodation compensated it.

Only good words to say about Franco and his B&B. He made our stay even more amazing than we ever could’ve imagined. He gave the best tips! It was easy to get into the city centre and back. When we’re back in Rome, we’ll definitely stay here again!
