Calisto 6 is charming, spacious, comfortable, very clean, and within walking distance from many of the main attractions of Rome. Andrea is a very accommodating host. She provided us with maps of the city, recommended restaurants and places of interests to us, and readily answered all our questions. We really enjoyed our stay
Had a great stay at the Calisto - very nice host and extremely helpful. The neighborhood in Trastevere is unbeatable - great restaurants and great vibe. The place is also comfortable and very clean.
We actually stayed in another flat of Andre & Nariya on the other side of the Piazza of Santa Maria in Trastevere. It is a three story apartment with two bedrooms with two private bathrooms. As four adults we stayed very comfortably in the space. It also has a nice living room and a kitchen with a breakfast nook area. The unit was very comfortable & clean (a cleaning woman came every morning) and excellently located in a great part of Rome, well positioned to access the great center of Rome's... More »
Fantastic apartment that was very clean and beautifully decorated. Location was perfect, right in the middle of heaps of restaurants, bars and cafes, and even summer concerts in the nearby piazza! Walking distance to all the sights and public transport was close as well. Would definetly stay there again
The B&B was nice. There are two rooms in the apartment and two bathrooms, one designated to you for the duration of the stay. The area is perfect. Lots to do and see. Very accessible either by walking or tram or bus. The apartment was clean. Overall, a good experience.
Staying at Calisto 6 was a great experience! The Traverstere area of Rome is refreshing and away from the crowds of tourists. There is a beautiful square steps away, and charming streets with great restaurants. The room was very cute and clean. We had a wonderful stay!
The location of the bed and breakfast was great! It is a trendy neighborhood with great restaurants and bars nearby. The bedrooms were cleaned daily and had great ventilation.
However, the bathrooms were not up to par.
Although Andrea was great with responding to our concerns. The first night, the bathroom light went out and it was quickly replaced.
We stayed in a wonderful, very quiet, second location, just around the corner from Calisto 6 and so close to Piazza di Santa Maria. Andrea made sure someone was there to meet us and the accommodations were great, with plenty of space, simple but tasty breakfast, coffee, a comfy bed and we loved Trastevere! I highly recommend it!
This was an amazing place to stay. Andrea and his wife were excellent hosts and really make sure that everything is clean and bright in the rooms. They really pay attention to detail. I suggest that you request the blue room. The room is a little noisy with the windows open because there is a busy bar just below the place. If you have problems with noise, this might not be the place for you. If you want an authentic experience and feel like you are part of action the whole time, this... More »
Staying at the Travestere B&B was overall a great experience. The rooms are beautifully decorated and quite large. They are also very, very clean. Though we did not originally have some of the key items we needed (hand towel, soap, meal passes for breakfast which is not in the B&B, but in a bar downstairs) we received them quickly after asking.
I would highly recommend the blue room.
Callisto 6 is in a great location, is clean and a great way to stay in Rome.
It is run a little more like a small hotel than a b and b.
It is noisy outside, with a bar under our windows (on the first level above the ground floor). Cigarette smoke and conversation drifted in late into the night, and coffee was being served early in the morning. Not a problem if you close the windows and turn on the air conditioner, but something to note.
Overall, a solid place to stay.
Nariya and Andrea were very sweet hosts. They advised us on where to eat, gave us a clear map of the city, a tip on a great view of the city and were willing to be available and helpful in anyway they could. We ended up being upgraded to an apartment, which was a nice surprise, and ended up being in a bit quieter area (although just a few blocks away) then where the bnb location.
Breakfast was sufficient, a packaged croissant, cereal, juice and a espresso machine (which we had a bit of... More »
We had a wonderful stay at Calisto 6. Andrea and his wife keep the place spotless and are very accommodating.
When we first arrived there was some confusion regarding our reservation as they had overbooked the first house. However they quickly took us to their other rental house only 2 blocks away and we were very satisfied. The place is fully furnished with new beds and the bathrooms were spotless. We felt right at home. The only complaint was that the air conditioner was difficult to... More »
They were very helpful and let us check in late in the day. The room was very clean and comfortable. The house was quiet and very nice. The neighbourhood is wonderful as well. For the rest of our trip we wished we could go back and stay there again!
Location was great and we would agree with most of the other comments regarding the property.
Andrea's partner and staff were really helpful and friendly whenever we had contact with them. Yes breakfast is downstairs at the bar - typically Italian breakfast of coffee and pastery.
Unfortunately we were feeling a little unwell for our 7 nights in Rome, and as the weather was hot the room was almost unbearably hot with the window closed and the 'air conditioner' on. The first couple of nights... More »
Great location! The area has a great nightlife, so if you are looking for good food and bars this place is perfect! However, the rooms are right above a bar, so it can be a little noisy at night. The room is nice, clean, and very pretty. The only thing to note is that the bathroom, while sufficient, is small. We had a private bathroom, but the bathroom is not attached. We stayed all across Europe, so I recognize that the facilities over there can be smaller, however this bathroom was very... More »
Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Andrea and his wife as they were unexpectedly called out of town. Andrea was helpful in writing me to let me know who to call to arrange for the key pick-up when we arrived. We weren't blown away by the facilities but they were certainly sufficient--the bedroom was clean and tiny, and the air conditioning worked relatively well. We shared a bathroom down the hall with a few other guests but we rarely saw them.
The neighborhood is lovely. The place opens... More »
The location is great, except the B&B is right on top of a bar that stays open late. A family emergency took Andrea out of town, but the arrangements he made to cover were totally unsatisfactory. There was no-one at the apt when we arrived, no-one answering at the advertised contact number, and and no information about who to contact. Luckily the guy who was supposed to be running the place showed up, and could let us in. He was unaware of the prepayment through airbnb, and insisted we... More »
When we arrived, we were informed that the room had been double-booked, and the woman we were meeting told us that she had found us a room for a night in a "nearby" bnb called the Trastevere Inn. She (Tammy) expected us to transfer back to the original bnb after a night, but that defeated the purpose of staying in the same place for two nights, so we decided to stay there instead. We never actually spoke to an owner, were never given a real rate for the room. We felt taken advantage of... More »
Good price for location. It is loud. And she was not very flexible about check out times. It left me and my sister to haul our luggage about Rome on our last day. But still a good deal considering the alternatives.
We spent 4 days here with kids. Andrea and his wife seem like nice people, easy to deal with. This facility however was not what we were hoping for.
Bathroom is not attached (across the coridor).
I would not consider this a bed and breakfast. Breakfast is really a coupon for the bar downstairs (not particularly a clean bar where I would go with the family). The coupon gets you a coffee and one croissant (yes just that). We ended up buying breakfast outside - we needed more than just... More »
We had a really nice stay with Andrea, He really goes a long way to make things work, full of information, great resource, immaculately clean. Trastevere is the place to stay if you want to be where romans live, not a touristy place. Life living over a street cafe for a few days is a Roman Holiday. Street noise is not a real problem, stay up late or go to bed with ear plugs. Thank you Andrea.
We really enjoyed our stay at Calisto 6. The location was perfect. Far enough away from the tourist hub to be more authentic neighborhood, yet close enough to all the major sites for exploring. The room was both spacious and updated. The bathroom, although a little small, meet our needs. Andrea was a great host and assisted us in finding authentic restaurants and cafes as well as recommended many cites to visit. We will definately stay at Calisto 6 on our next trip to Rome. Thanks Andrea!
I also had a terrific experience at Calisto 6. The location can't be beat for exploring Rome, and Andrea was a very helpful and accommodating host. Trastavere is also a hip neighborhood to have an authentic Roman experience. Like others here, I will recommend this place to family and friends should they ever have the good fortune to visit The Eternal City.
Andrea's Bed and Breakfast was delightful and in the heart of Trastevere. The tram/bus stops were only a short walk away, however for those keen on walking...all the sights of Rome are only around 20min away. We had a very large, tastefully decorated room with a private bathroom across the hall which was cleaned daily. When another guest suddenly fell ill, Andrea promptly organised another local bnb. Lots of local restuarants in one of Rome's most charming locations.
We had a great experience at the B&B. We really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning at the downstairs bar and the Trastevere area is beautiful and less expensive for meals. It was a 30 minute walk to the monuments but we enjoyed exploring the city this way. I will recommend this place to my friends and family when they visit me in Europe! Andrea and his wife were very helpful and were always available when I needed something. Thank you!
If what you're looking for is a simple, friendly place right in the heart of Rome, then Calisto 6 is perfect. Set above a lively bar, popular with the locals, the apartment is spacious, clean, and nice and cool even in the Roman summer heat. Andrea welcomed us and, even though we didn't have any problems, was there when we needed to ask him something. He allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment during our last day as our flight home wasn't until late, and this really helped us to... More »
Andrea was very friendly and helpful upon our arrival in Rome. His apartment is in the wonderful Trastevere area of Rome, away from the touristy areas, but still close enough to walk to all the major sites. The apartment's location ensures an authentic Rome experience with beautiful piazzas, great restaurants, and an amazing atmosphere. Thanks Andrea!!
Andrea was wonderful and so friendly. The room was nice and clean and the bathroom was so spacious. We only stayed for one night, but it was great. Thanks Andrea and we hope to see you again!
lovely room & clean bathroom. also, andrea is very kind. although he was not home when we arrived, he answered his mobile phone several times when we needed help and had questions about the building.
note: Americans who like a big breakfast... be aware that the breakfast offered in the cafe downstairs is just a croissant and a cappucino.
Bathroom was clean and the bedroom was cozy as well as the location itself. The ticket provided for breakfast at the bar downstairs served great coffee and was a pleasant touch to our stay at Calisto6.
We could only find availability at Andre's place for one night but it was a very nice experience. Both he and his wife were lovely to deal with and extremely helpful. Cant beat the location or though on when we first arrived we thought it would be loud from the torrent of street traffic but I slept like a baby. Recommended
Andrea and his wife were great hosts, and very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and large! Awesome location! Nearby: excellent restaurants, bars, shopping, and more! We will recommend this BnB to all our friends.
Great Location in the Heart of Roma.
Rooms were clean at a adequate price.
You have to check out the Restaurantes next to the Hostel!
If we stay in Rome, it´s our first choice.

The location is great - very close to city center and old Rome...lots of fun cafes and shops nearby. The room is clean and simple; Andrea and his wife are very friendly and accommodating. Thumbs up!
Very nice room, great area, all very new and clean. Breakfast token included for the cafe downstairs. Shared bathroom with 2 rooms, so can get crowded, but worked fine in general. Totally recommandable!
