La Perla Rara was a complete joy! This was my third Airbnb in Rome but this time it was with my hubby and our younger daughter and her husband and their two furry kids. We were looking for a last minute booking which grew more difficult since we had to bring our two furry friends with us. Franco was a life saver. He answered immediately and welcomed us with open arms. You would think that because he welcomes pets the house would lack a bit but it did not it was super clean and had a fresh clean smell. Really was super impressed because I am a clean freak. Franco had provided some essentials like bottled wine, coffee etc...It was Christmas Day when we arrived and Franco was there to welcome us give us a lovely walk through and all. His place has a lift so you do not have to endure lugging up your luggage. You have access to the roof where you can see the beautiful dome and lights of the city. Franco even provides you with chairs and cushions you can take up with you and relax with a bottle of wine and cheese and enjoy the sunset. Beds were super comfortable and temperatures in the flat were very comfortable. Proximity to everything was so convenient. Steps from the Vatican and you could walk to other nearby attractions or take the Metro or the Bus. Really could not have asked for more. Great host, great location, great flat! Highly recommend La Perla Rara.
