Nicely laid out. I actually like the open closets for short stays - less musty.
Cameron, how was your transfer at Heathrow?

My American Airlines flight arrived at terminal 3 before 7am, so it was easy and the airport fairly empty. I breezed through, but there was no passport check, only security to go through for getting into the terminal 5. I hung out in the British Airways lounge until my flight...a six hour layover.

The reading light in the room is great. There’s bright indirect up lighting, and a direct light above the bed.
No noise! I can’t hear airplanes!
Room-darkening curtains.
Good air conditioning.
Strong Wifi.
It’s in the area near the trains and the rental cars. I came out at FCO terminal 3, crossed the street, took the escalator up to the train area, turned right, turned right (you’ll see innocuous hotel/day room signs), and when you’re at the end of a hallway, you’ll see HelloSky on the left.

Just an update on the HelloSky location at FCO with travel opening up this summer. I stayed there one night last week and found it to match Cameron's description. Easy access to Terminal 3 (only one being used at this time) and the rental car and parking structure.
Room is basic but clean and comfortable. Food service is limited and currently only packaged items. Rooms are on three levels going down, only about 25 rooms, and mine was on ground level. I could hear some traffic and noise outside but not during the night.
Hotel entry:
Double bed:
Be aware that currently only those ticketed passengers can enter the terminal to use the restaurants, bars, etc. Either grab food in the terminal before you exit or before you arrive at the airport for a departure.

It certainly looks inviting for an overnight. But I still think I'll hire Piero as I know he's had a tough time through the pandemic and he is till only 50 euros. Plus there's a great seafood restaurant a block from his place and if I need a good walk can use the beach promenade. I will have to try the Hello Sky at some point so I can give my tour guests the option. Yay, can't wait for September!!!! Italy, here I come!

Cheryl, could you send me Piero's contact info? I've booked a B&B (The Sea/Fly Inn, via delle Dune, 74 in Fiumicino), also €50 for our last night there, but would love to support your friend if possible.

Yes, Barb, glad to....The price includes a pickup and drop off at the airport which is about a 10 min. drive. And he doesn't seem to mind earliest morning or late night! He's a retired flight attendant, speaks English if needed. Plain, small, clean rooms with bath. Thanks, Barb!
Just email him at piero14@fastwebnet.it

No website. L'Isola B & B, Piero

And I've I've already heard back from Peiro - he has room at the inn! Not surpisingly, once I went to the website I discovered it was already bookmarked - but without any note of who had recommended it, so thanks again for reminding me!
