We arrived in Roma via Roma Termini train station, where we got a 3-day Roma Pass at a kiosk in the corner of the station entrance with the bus stops. The bus was about 10-minutes and then a 5-minute walk to the apartment, where Tom was already waiting to show us the place. Check-in went very smoothly.

This location is central to all the busses you'll need. We were never more than 15-minutes walk or bus from all of our destinations, and never needed a taxi except to get to the airport.

This apartment is very cozy, a great space for two people. The AC, fridge, and stove all worked well and the bed was very comfortable. The WiFi was practically non-working and is publicly accessible (insecure) by anyone within range. This really needs to be fixed because we needed to lookup tours and Google maps, but I had to use my expensive cell phone roaming data to get basic details about our tours because the WiFi probably has a hundred people using it for free.

The bathroom is in bad shape, having many issues. The biggest issue started with our first shower. We realized that the shower drain was clogged and so ended up standing in 3 inches of mirky water. It was super gross! Luckily Tom had a worker arrive the very next day, but communication about the worker wasn't very clear. The worker ended up coming some time the following afternoon while we were away, and when we came back, upon opening the apartment door we were met with a terrible smell of sewer gas. We opened the windows and vented the gas, but it was very gross. The worker had left the shower floor a total mess, but at least it was fixed. The sink also lacks a stopper, which meant that we needed to keep the bathroom door closed to prevent the smell of additional sewer gas. I think these problems will be addressed, so maybe ask Tom about this before booking. I wouldn't let these problems detract from your booking, but I do wish they had thoroughly checked the condition of their unit before our arrival. Overall our stay was not ruined but also was not good.

There is a delicious bakery around the corner called Antico Forno Roscioli and the best pizza of your life at piazza Campo de' Fiori called Forno. There is also an expensive farmers market there during the day that might be a convenient spot to get gifts for family or friends back home. The neighborhood felt very safe, it was quiet at night.
