Viktor's place is so incredibly well placed for all of the important stuff, and gives the guest a slice of real Roman life. The room opens onto a courtyard with residents going about their every day life, and the ringing of the church bells lull you into a sense of "belonging".
The small bathroom is "en suite" and has a window onto the same courtyard.
Loads of storage, a table and two chairs, along with a bookshelf with some interesting reading material if you are spending a few hours relaxing in your room.
The accommodation is basic, clean (but also eclectic- I particularly love the blue door and the yellow curtain opposite it), even if not to everyone's taste. If you want 5* accommodation- look elsewhere. But if you want real Italian home-living- you can do very much worse!
Most importantly- the bedlinen is crispy white, the mattress is very firm (great for bad backs like mine! I love it) and it is quiet, even though so close to Campo dei Fiori.
The host, Viktor, is so quick to help and I cannot praise him enough.
Tip for eating "at home"/a change/a bit cheaper than the nice but expensive local restaurants- the kebab shop downstairs is like no kebab shop we have in the UK, and the wraps (not pittas) with very, very fresh salad and meat is not greasy and very tasty. You can also have chicken with vine leaves- yum!
Tip for getting to the airport early morning- walk to the Corso and get a taxi from the taxi rank on the main road! Cheaper than a transfer and so easy and reliable.
