I wish that EVERY host was as incredible as Valentina. She answered every question that I had, coordinated a driver to pick us up from the airport, and reserved a taxi for us on the day we departed. She waited on us when our bags were lost and we took longer at the airport and she let us drop off our luggage super early so that we could enjoy the day in Rome while the flat was cleaned. She recommended MANY wonderful spots around the city and even left us fresh, sweet treats for our arrival.
Not to mention, I am a SUPER PICKY person about the places I stay. I am a stickler for cleanliness! Valentina’s home was IMMACULATE. Sparkling clean x 10! The bed was comfortable, the linens were fresh, and the home was located in the most charming area. My husband and I could easily walk to the metro, markets, and restaurants. Valentina continually checked in on us and made us feel like family. I want her to host Air B&Bs around the globe so that we know we’ll always be taken care of this well. :)
A few notes:
1. We were worried about the air conditioning situation as we know it isn’t always a given in Italy. However, we were always cool and comfortable in Valentina’s home.
2. Valentina explained EVERYTHING to us. We were nervous about foreign currency, but she made the process easy.
3. The neighborhood is super safe! No need for a car. We walked everywhere and scooters were always close!
4. Book with Valentina - you will not regret it!!
