WOW...as an American who had planned this trip before the global meltdown I felt no guilt whatsoever at being pampered at La Papera by Federica and Fabio because of its extremely reasonable price...good exchange rate helped too. La Papera is located very conveniently in the district of Garbatella and is within easy walking distance to the Metro so you can get anywhere quickly. Within the neighborhood are internet/phone shops, ATMS, pharmacias, profumerias, and good restaurants recommended by Federica the very hospitable hostess. She also has a good supply of guidebooks and materials you can use to acquaint yourself with Rome. The B+B apartment itself is very attractively decorated, the room large with good bed, lots of closet space, nice bathroom and patio, and the breakfast very generous and varied. My stay was 13 days and every day I enjoyed returning to the quiet haven of my room after sightseeing all day. This is a big PLUS in busy Rome. Federica has mastered all the essentials of innkeeping and staying at La Papera was both an affordable/luxurious way to enjoy Rome. Bravo!

Both the bedroom and bathroom was very nice, clean and spacious. A superb breakfast was served by the easy going and hospitable innkeeper/host who made our stay very comfortable and relaxing. As our first visit in Rome we found the Innkeeper to be of great assistance in providing superb information and guidance to interesting tourist sites, good restaurants at different price levels (all with good quality) and knowledge in general about Rome and how to get around in the city etc. We would certainly recommend this bed&breakfast accommodation to friends who like to stay in a quiet area right in the heart of Rome, located just across the street from the Metro station Garbatella.
