Tommy was a wonderful and friendly host. He communicated with us well in advance of our stay and offered suggestions on how to get to his apartment. After our taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong area, Tommy came and got us at Campo Di Fiore and even carried my wife's suitcase up 65 stairs. He offered to show us around the area but we were too exhausted from our 14 hour journey from Los Angeles.

Don't let the flight of stairs hinder you from staying here. Although the stairwell is narrow and might be better suited for carry on suitcases (which is what we brought). The flat is fairly spacious for a studio and is pretty much what is pictured on Airbnb. What you don't see is a small washing machine inside a closet (no dryer), which was very helpful. The bathroom is fairly small but functional, however the floors do get wet from the shower. The towels provided were not full sized but adequate.

The location is very central to everything you need to see: right next to Campo Di Fiore, walking distance: 5 mins to Pantheon, 5 mins to Piazza Navona, 5 mins to Largo Argentina (major taxi and bus hub), 10 mins to Trastevere and 15 mins to Spanish Steps. By bus10 min to the Colosseum and 10 mins to Vatican. The area felt very safe and we were out late at night (past midnight).

Some notes, there was no real place to hang our clothes but we managed. The TV didn't work while we were there and Tommy was sick to come by. This wasn't an issue since we don't speak Italian. The free wifi worked fairly well and if you bring your GSM unlocked phone (for us from the US), you can visit a local cell/mobile phone store (we visited the TIM store right down the street).

We suggest you check out Trastevere, but might want to RSVP prior since a few places we visited were fully booked.

Book with Tommy and don't hesitate, you'll love the area and it's Rome so relax and enjoy yourself.
