Perfect! There are no other words to describe our experience of staying with Elisabetta and her husband. Our holiday in Rome was so special and a huge part of that was because we stayed at Elisabetta's home.
The room was perfect, with lots of interesting and homely touches and a wonderful little terrace to enjoy the sunshine on. Elisabetta and her husband were so accommodating, their hospitality was impeccable and we felt truly relaxed and at home there. The breakfast was great and we loved the touch of Elisabetta's homemade jams. The opportunity to chat to Elisabetta and her husband really added so much to the experience; we got to learn a little about Italian life and to simply enjoy their brilliant company.
We found the location in Ciampino was perfect for us, around a 10 minute walk to the train station and then an approximately 10-15 minute train ride to Rome Termini. This worked so well, it meant we were out of the hustle and bustle of the city and that we got to see a little of more typical Italian life. We enjoyed sipping fantastic coffee and people watching at the local coffee shop by the station before getting our train to Rome and felt we got to sample the Dolce Vita by doing this! The location is also perfect for Rome Ciampino airport (approx 10 minute bus transfer). We would also highly recommend a trip to Frascati, a beautiful local town (again a brief train ride away).
This experience reaffirmed for me how fantastic airbnb can be, an opportunity to stay in a wonderful home with wonderful people and at amazing value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and enjoy the fond memories of this trip. Thank you for making our trip to Rome so very special.
