My boyfriend and I were backpacking around Italy last summer and Blues in Rome was our final stay. The only bad point was it was a tad hard to find, however we finally arrived and Sabino (who is lovely!) immediately gave us a map and places he thought we would be interested in visiting. ||||It's only a 20 minute walk from the centre of Rome (Colleseum) and we found it in a really safe place.

(I'm so sorry I can't remember your name but you were lovely!) The room was a good size and very clean so no complaints. Breakfast is very simple so don't expect a lot but adequate.
