His property is perfectly located, within walking distance of the train, in a very safe neighborhood, close to all of Rome's historical attractions.

We had a very nice stay at Blue Hostel. Great communication from booking through the end of our stay. Host was very accommodating, from carrying our luggage up all the stairs at arrival, to booking our 4am taxi upon departure. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Great location... close to train station, shops, cafes and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend when visiting Rome!

Nice place but watch out for stairs.

Great location near the Termini train station and a nice place to stay. However, there are 4 flights of stairs so you have to be in shape as it is a climb.
