WONDERFUL HOST! Tom had great communication leading up to and throughout my stay in Rome. He met me at the apartment and provided detailed information on what I should do in Rome. He gave me maps, local recommendations, historic details about the building I was staying in, etc. I had a few touristy questions during my stay and he was quick to respond with more great recommendations. All the places I visited were outstanding. Excellent service, great food & lots of locals. I tried eat with. com and ate with Barbara (300+ reviews) it was a great experience as well. The location of the apartment is central so you can walk everywhere. No need to take a taxi or public transportation. It was rather hot (95 F) when I was in Rome so the air conditioner in the apartment saved me! The apartment also comes with some dishes, pots, pans, etc. I will definitely recommend Tom to friends and family visiting Rome. Thanks, Tom!
