My wife and I stayed in Tommy's apartment for 10 days for our honeymoon, and we could not have asked for a better host. Even before we arrived, he was very easy to contact by email (speaks perfect English) and he even arranged for a car to pick us up at the airport so we wouldn't have to worry about catching a taxi. When we arrived, he was waiting for us to show us around the neighborhood, including some of his recommended restaurants, shops, tourist attractions etc., and he also followed up with a list of places to go in an email. From the moment we arrived, he did everything he could to make us feel at home, and he answered every email we sent him almost immediately. While we were there, Tommy let us know that he normally is in town but that he had previously scheduled a vacation to Mexico...but that didn't change our experience at all. In fact, he still answered every email and left us his mother's phone number so that we could contact her if we needed to. And, it turned out that we did need to. The day before we left for home, someone broke a key in the lock to the main door of the apartment building. We had no way to get in and didn't know what to do. But we called Tommy's mother (who also speaks perfect English!) and she took care of it almost immediately. Within an hour or so, there was a locksmith there to fix the lock, she called us repeatedly with updates, and she even showed up in person to give us the new key and thanked us for being so helpful.

Coming from America, there are a few things you need to be prepared for (lack of water pressure in the shower, no door on the bathroom, etc.) but these just differences to expect with Italy, not issues with the apartment itself. And they're small issues when you compare them to the incredible location of the apartment (Campo de Fiori was definitely our favorite neighborhood!) and the amazing care we received from our host, Tommy (and his mother). You really can walk everywhere!

I'm literally writing this review the morning after we got back to the U.S. because I'm that happy with our experience. My wife and I are already trying to plan our next trip to Rome, and I can guarantee that when we go back, we'll be staying in Tommy's apartment.
