We were on our honeymoon, and Erida’s place was just perfect for our visit in Rome. To start with, the communications were clear, friendly, and though. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a long time and are professionals when it comes to hospitality. From our arrival to our checkout, everything was just great, and I’m not exaggerating. They gave us TONS of tips and recommendations after giving us a tour of their beautifully designed loft apartment. We’ve never met a host who’d sit down to chat with us for 30 minutes just to make sure we experience Rome the way they love the city.

Now about the apartment:
Pros:
1. Location: It’s 3 minutes walk to Piaza di Popolo, right next to the luxury via del Corso. Less than 10 minutes to Spagna metro station and the Spanish steps, 6 minutes to Villa Borgheses, and 15 minutes to Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. Staying here means you can beat the crowd to all the popular sights in Rome. There’s also late night bites and a 24/7 Carrefour within minutes. It is extremely safe around and easy to navigate.
2. Elevator: you’ll thank yourself for renting a place with elevator. It wasn’t easy to use at first since it’s very old, but anyone can pick it up after using it once, and it felt very safe.It’s tiny, but most people can fit in there comfortably.
3. The apartment: The apartment is amazing and was one of the the highlights of our entirely trip to Italy. It’s not big but has literally everything you need in there and very comfortable. We especially love the cute patio where we spent every morning and evening.
4. Amenities: The bed on the loft level was sooo comfortable. The coffee machine makes great espresso to start the day, and all the amenities work just as well. Netflix is also provided here, which was appreciated.
5. Quality of our stay: Aside from very little noise from the neighbor during early evening, it was absolutely silent despite the close location to the busy street. The air was set to our comfort, and the apartment was cleaned professionally.

Cons:
If we have to say one thing that wasn’t perfect, it was the water pressure. But after staying in other places in Italy, we realize it’s a common issue for apartments on the top floors. This is less a complaint than a reminder for fellow travelers.

We wholeheartedly recommend Erida’s apartment, and we personally would love to stay here again when we come back to Rome!
