Tom reached out to us to coordinate our check-in and offer an alternative airport transportation, which we really appreciated. Tom's brother Giovanni, helped us check in and showed us the apartment basics, and also provided some helpful tips for the city. Tom and his wife are working on an map/app called "Glocalist", which is expertly curated and really a neat project.
The apartment is, in my opinion, in the best location for a stay in Rome. It's right next to Campo di Fiori, and two minutes from Largo Argentina which makes grabbing a bus/tram super easy. It's only a few minutes from Trastevere, the Pantheon, and Piazza Venezia too!
The apartment was clean when we arrived and most everything was in order. The WiFi setup did not work during our stay, but credit to Tom for coming out at about 8PM to try and troubleshoot the issue, which was not his fault anyway. This wouldn't have been too big of an issue, but because of the concrete construction, there is absolutely zero cell coverage in the apartment. This meant that we basically had no way of communicating with friends, checking the weather, or planning our day.
Most importantly, the power went out in the apartment multiple times during our stay. Anything more than the AC, phone charging, and a few lights on seemed to trigger it. The fix is rather simple (exiting the apartment and flipping the breaker near the entry downstairs) but it's a very annoying issue to face. Especially since I was in the shower during one of the outages!
I want to reiterate that Tom was excellent throughout all of this. He answered our questions quickly and comprehensively, and seems like a great guy. The issues we encountered are mostly due to the infrastructure of such an old city, but they were disappointing to encounter nonetheless, and made our trip more stressful than we expected.
