Fabio’s home is an excellent place to stay on a visit to Rome. It was perfect for our family of 5 traveling with my folks. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and a bonus perk for each to have its own bathrooms. It has a lift that was small but good enough to get luggage up and down. The views from the 2 rooms were beautiful looking at St Peter’s Basilica.
Location is ideal. Located in a safe neighborhood. There were always people walking around (mostly locals). Close enough to walk to the Vatican everyday. Lots of shops near by. Right outside of the location there’s a mini mart which was convenient. And one block down a full grocery store. If you want to cook, the farmers market was a block away as well on the opposite side of the street where the locals would buy their meat, produce, and any other local goods needed. Lots of restaurants on the same street. Chicken Hut right downstairs was great as well. Affordable food and good for a quick bite to bring up after a long day of touring.
During our stay, our stroller was delayed in arrival and Fabio helped arrange with the airport for a drop off time and was there when it arrived which saved us from having to wait around for the stroller to be delivered when we had so much to see and do.
Fabio arranged pick up and drop off transportation for us to get to his place from the airport. We rode it 4 times because we did do a side trip to France while there. He allowed us to keep our big luggage in his place while we went off with hand carries to France. This made it very convenient. The last trip we did have a problem with transport to the airport where the driver didn’t show up til an hour later. The driver when pulling up even hit a parked car. Fabio was easy to contact and helped try to track the driver. We ended up taking an Uber van to the airport since it arrived before the driver. This wasn’t Fabio’s fault so I didn’t mark his rating down because of it. He said he would follow up with the company he refers because that was not like them. All the other 3 times they were early and professional.
Bottom line: excellent location and place to stay. If we go to Italy again I will definitely stay here again!
