What a fantastic introduction to Airbnb. Alberto could not have been more helpful in the run up to our stay, during and after. He answered countless questions from me. Sent me a brochure of all the local shops, bus numbers, markets and some good recommendations of things to see in Rome that were off the beaten track. His restaurant recommendations were great. Prior to our arrival I had asked Alberto to furnish the flat with fruit, wine, cheeses etc. He chose wonderful unusual wines, amazing local cheeses (all beautifully labelled by him) and a generous bowl of lovely cherries awaited us. He and his wife and daughter greeted us on our arrival by taxi (organised by Alberto). He had also booked a restaurant for us that night which we loved. Whats more, Alberto drove us there and gave us an overview of the area at the same time which was so helpful. The kitchen was amply and generously supplied with milk, coffee, salt pepper, olive oil, pasta and more. The farmers market was around the corner as was an amazing buffalo mozzarella shop. You can walk easily to the Vatican and into town if you like a walk but there are plenty of buses that go from the bottom of his road to Vatican and Piazza de Venezia etc so everything is fairly simple. I would not want to stay as far out of the centre if I only had a weekend though. We stayed 5 nights. The flat was spotless and true to the photo, comfortable beds and fans which were very welcome and good wifi though sometimes slow. It was wonderful to hear the bells of St Peters. The balcony is large and a wonderful place to sit in the evening and early mornings overlooking the city. On the right hand side was a green area with sheep, horses, foxes, etc - marvellous. Quiet. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a bath and shower. The living area has a large dining table and a TV and sofa. Alberto, kind, generous in his hospitality, welcoming and always on hand to help. He and his family are extremely interesting to chat to and on our last night we shared wine and fruit on his balcony (next door). We left knowing we would meet again.
