Tommaso's place in Rome was by far the best way to stage our visit to the city. The apartment is very large and conveniently located within walking distance of the Vatican, a small shopping district, and most importantly, the metro.
Tommaso met us at the apartment which was easy to find. A short 10 minute metro ride from the train station and another 10 minute walk from the nearest stop. He had us sign a simple and clear liability contract, gave a quick tour of the room, handed us the keys and left.
The kitchen was super practical and the bathroom was quite large and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable and the AC worked great. There is an elevator to the 5th floor and it's one short set of steps beyond that.
There are only two negative things I have to say about our stay at Blue Atelier. The first is that when we went to use the microwave for the first time, there was a leftover bowl of pasta in there from God knows when and it smelled AWFUL. We had to throw out the whole thing and took the garbage out to the corner of the street because we couldn't bear the smell it left. It should be noted that the rest of the apartment was immaculately clean when we arrived, so this was just a small oversight. The other negative point is that there is an overhead window to let in sun that pigeons and seagulls seem to like pecking at during the night. There are blinds you can retract that helps mitigate it a little bit but the birds on the roof can be quite noisy. If you're a light sleeper, this might be a problem, but it only woke me up one night out of the four we stayed.
Overall, I highly recommend staying at this place. The price is extremely fair and the amenities and location cannot be beat. Tomasso is very communicative and provides all the info you need to find him and get around the city.
