"Uhm, excuse me. Let me tell you a lil story about this here B&B. My friend and I finally made it out of the group chat after a decade of casually talking about going to Italy. And let me tell ya, getting off the train at Tuscolana station and walking towards the B&B had us quaking in our boots! The area looks a bit rundown, but is actually just a quiet spot about 20-30 minutes south of Centro Roma. The evening we arrived, we judged the area by its cover, but by the next morning when we were out and about, we realized very quickly that the area is just quietly bustling with life (and bubble tea!).
ALL of the B&B staff were amazing from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. We especially adored the glasses wearing gentleman who manned the front desk during the wee hours. He was hands down our favourite staff at the B&B. Extremely kind, helpful, down to earth and just real. He helped us have an even better time in Roma than we already were!
The room we stayed in had a view of the very near train station and we could hear the trains coming and going throughout the days and nights. When we arrived, the two beds were pushed together and we could separate them with ease. We slept as comfortably as we could. If there were two things we wished were different, it was these: 1. a tissue box in the room would have been so appreciated, and 2. a nice vacuuming or brooming during the mornings when the house maids came through.
Unless you're hellbent on staying in Centro Roma, I totally think you should stay outside the center so that you can experience what it's like traveling into and out of the Centro. It's a beautiful trip by bus or scooter from the B&B.
Also, nearby the B&B you can find all sorts of trattorias, cafes, a cocktail bar a few minutes up the street, a couple of supermarkets and pharmacies within 10 minutes walk, the bus stop and metro also. All within very reasonable walking distance!
Honestly, just stay here unless you don't like train noise, public transport, or potentially small beds and no tissue box in your room. But seriously, we super enjoyed our stay here after arriving that first day."
