My stay at Babuino 181 was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, conveniently situated between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, making it easy to explore the city. However, the room lacked modern amenities like central air conditioning and sufficient electrical outlets, which was disappointing.
