Our first trip to Rome and our first experience with Airbnb. We are a family of three. Our flight from Windsor Ontario was cancelled due to thunderstorms and we were accommodated on an ealier flight from Detroit. So we reached the apartment at 930 am instead of 1130 am (check in time).
Nicole was there at the apartment with the cleaner as the previous occupants had just vacated. She recommended that we should leave our luggage at the apartment and walk around /have breakfast while she got the apartment ready for us.
The apartment was a little smaller than it appeared in pictures. Very quaint and the ceiling was gorgeous. Very clean, organized and with a fully equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom . The shower was a bit small for North American standards but very efficient.
The stove top was a learning experience for us as it was induction method and it turned on only if there was a utensil placed on it. I frantically texted Nicole as it would not heat up like regular electric stove tops do !
The apartment was very central and we walked to all the attractions. Lots of eating areas in the vicinity and loads of shopping on Nazionale street.
Now about Nicole-what a lovely, charming,helpful lady. She was soooo welcoming . She was super prompt in replying to texts. She went the extra mile and dropped us off at the train station (Termini) that we actually felt that we left a close friend behind.
Thank you Gabriele and Nicole for being a part of our wonderful Roman vacation memories and we hope to visit you again in the near future.
