Robby’s place was in a secure building close to Termini, allowing us to get anywhere we need with a short bus or metro ride. It’s a decent area but if I were traveling alone, I don’t know if I would stay there- with a companion, I felt safe. The other reviews are right when they say the shower was very small- if you’re taller than 5’6” or so it would be hard to get clean! The bed wasn’t insanely comfortable but if you’re walking 11 miles a day exploring Rome, you could sleep on a rock and be happy! Robby’s place has great value, but I imagine it would be hard to stay there for longer than a few days. If you need a place to lay your head- give Robby’s studio a try!
