Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Tommaso’s place and if traveling on a budget or staying in Rome for a longer time, would stay here again.
The positives - the apartment is exactly as pictured - EXTREMELY clean and nicely decorated and no smells. Keyless entry, so you don’t have to worry about potentially losing the keys. We did not cook, but the kitchen had all the basics you need. Beds are comfortable. Only one flight of stairs, since the apartment is on the first floor, so that was convenient. Communication was fast an easy - the internet went out while we were staying here, and they quickly came to fix it. Beautiful, historic building and seemed like a safe neighborhood.
Neutrals - sometimes you could hear noise from what we think is the metro running under ground. But we are sound sleepers and also use a noise machine, so it really didn’t bother us. The apartment is about a 7 minute walk from the metro. The only issue for us, was when we were arriving, because we didn’t realize that we had to walk uphill from the metro (we had to take the luggage from our elderly mother because going uphill is hard for her). Overall it’s a gradual uphill and not something extreme, but it’s almost the entire 7 minutes of walking. Without luggage it was totally fine and absolutely fine on the way back, as it’s easy to roll downhill. If you’re trying to enjoy Rome in just a few days and can afford a place a little closer to historic area, I would stay closer to that instead. But if you’re on a budget and not trying to see as many sights as possible in a day, this place is perfect. It took us about 30-40 minutes each way to/from the apartment by public transport from most of the sights we visited. Great value for your money and attentive hosts.
