Day 23

For those of you who have never experienced a B&B in Rome, it is a must for your bucket list. We landed in Rome at 6:30 and took the Terravision Bus to Termini (that is Italian for terminal). Feeling confident, we walked about 30 minutes down Via Merulana to find our b & b. Arriving at street number 117 was a bit of a shock. No glittering sign saying Elevenrome B&B; just a tiny nameplate on the side of a massive building. We rung the bell several times but no one answered.


This was a 1x 2 inch sign.
Eventually a young Asian boy let us in the first door off the street. There were 2 more locked doors yet to come.


Reception area at Elevenrome.
Alessandro arrived in a couple minutes and said he had waited all day for us and even phoned my home to see went we might arrive in Rome. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and would recommend this place highly for the helpfulness and friendlyness we found.

Alessandro recommended a trattoria a few blocks from the B&B to get something to eat. 1 pop, 1/2 liter of wine, a pizza and a plate of pasta for 20 bucks.....not bad for downtown Rome.








After a quick bite we strolled down to the colosseum for an evening view....spectacular!
