4The Bed & Breakfast itself was very nice and clean, beautifully decorated, very well equipped (incl. TV/own internet) and excellent for price/quality. The proprietor had expected us a day later (confusion with dates), but dealt with the problem no trouble. It is not in the main tourist area of Rome, but that is not a real problem as it is a relatively short walk from both Piazza Bologna Metro (a short walk along a nice tree-lined road) and Stazione Tiburtina (definitely not a nice walk...). The description of how to get from Tiburtina station to the B&B should be improved on the website (we got lost and the area is not exactly salubrious).
There is a lovely cafe just round the corner on Piazza delle Provincie which does delicious pastries, cakes, sandwiches, ice creams and a much better cappuccino/coffee than is provided at the B&B! Improvements could be made with regard to the all-packaged breakfast and to the towels - which are the thin cotton not very absorbent ones, rather than nice fluffy ones.
However, all in all, the B&B can be definitely recommended for people wanting somewhere clean, relatively quiet and pleasant (with internet!)and within easy public transport reach of the city centre and at a reasonable price, especially if you're not bothered about the area towards Tiburtina Station being a bit tacky.
