Everything was pretty good - the host's son did us a favour by coming and checking us in outside of the "check-in hours" and was pretty friendly (also spoke fluent english which always helps) and left us a book of tips for Rome but after that there was very little interaction/communication. Normally this would not bother us but it was a bit weird since we could hear that someone else was staying in the same apartment but would never come out to greet us but made it very obvious that they were listening to us coming in and out - whether or not this was another Airbnb patron (which is obviously fine) we are not sure but regardless when a stranger is staying that close to you it is nice to know who they are, especially when in a foreign country. Other than that the place was a great location, very central and trendy from what we observed and very clean with a rooftop patio (which was nice) accessible by a small flight of stairs outside the apartment - exactly as shown and described in the listing. The bed is enormous and pretty comfortable (firm mattress) and the bathroom is also very big with a great shower. Plus Uga (the rooftop cat) is very friendly and was nice to spend time with since we were missing our own cats! We can definitely recommend staying with Laura at her listing and would do so again ourselves, thanks for everything.
