I highly recommend staying at Fabio's place! We were greeted warmly by his wife and she checked us in and answered any questions we had. The room was comfortable, clean, and in a great location. Fabio and his wife provide booklet they made with a lot of information about Rome and their neighborhood that is very helpful. The night we got there we were able to walk less than 10 minutes to the Colluseum, which was awesome. The room is also an hour walk from the Vatican and a 15 minute walk to the train station. Overall, great experience at Fabio's place!
