I stayed in five different places during this Europe trip and I have to say The Place is the best one! I loved the American pop culture décor and appreciated all the details the hosts put into it (even down to the smallest details such as the eight ball sink stopper). The apartment is just as the photos show with some extra touches such as the CD player with CDs to choose from and a paper globe where visitors added pins to their home states/countries. In the kitchen, I made use of the fridge, as well as the electric kettle to make coffee (the hosts provided instant coffee and milk, and snacks too). The bedroom and bathroom are on the bottom floor. The bed, sheets, and towels were all very nice. The bathroom had some nice toiletries, too. The air conditioner in the bedroom worked well, and I did use the washer for a small load of laundry. It probably would’ve been difficult for me to bring my luggage down to the bedroom so I just left it in the living room. And thankfully, there are only 3-4 steps up to the apartment which made it easy with my luggage. The location of The Place is great in the sense that it's not in the busy touristy area but a nice neighborhood not too far from those sites. The Place is 0.9 miles/1.5 km southeast of the Colosseum (which I walked to), and 2.1 miles/3.3 km south of Roma Termini train station (which I took a taxi to and from, though Valerio did give me detailed information on the bus and route to the apartment). Just a block or two from The Place are some restaurants, bakeries, 24-hour grocery store, and bus stop (the latter three I made good use of), and Valerio suggested some nearby restaurants or areas that are good to hang out at. The Place was superb and Valerio was a wonderful and responsive host – I wish I had stayed more than two nights! I would definitely like to stay at The Place again when I come back to Rome!
