☑️ This was our first time using Airbnb for a holiday rental and we were not disappointed. We have no hesitation in recommending Paulo's home. Everything about it makes it the ideal choice when staying in Rome.
❤️ We choose Paulo's place based on the reviews, photographs, price and location as it was extremely easy to get to from Rome Fiumicino airport. Simply hop on the train and get off at Roma Ostiense station which is also linked to the Piramide metro line and the Roma Lido line (this is important if you want to visit Ostia Antica as this rail line is the one you need to get there). From there it is a simple 5 - 10 minute walk to the apartment.
👍 Paulo met us at the station and took us to his home - this helped us make sense of where we were and also opportunity for him to go over the house rules and show us how things worked (there are electronic shutters to the balcony doors and windows).
🙏 Another attraction of the apartment was the 15 to 20 minute walk down two streets to reach the Colosseum. From there you are in central Rome and everything is at hand. If walking is not your thing then the Piramide metro line B is just a few stops away from the Colosseum and is very cheap. There is a supermarket 15 mins away - same street that takes you to the Colosseum so if you decide to walk home it is ideal to pick up something on the way back - it closes at 9pm (may be different on Sunday). The apartment is also about 20 mins walk to the Tiber and once you are over the river you are in the Trastevere area where you can walk along the river to the Vatican. 15 minutes walk in another direction and you are at the start of the Appian Way. Paulo's apartment is simply ideally located.
👌 The apartment is as it appears in the photos. Large living room, bedroom with walk in wardrobe, kitchen (photos do make it look larger but don't worry - it is big enough and well equipped to meet all your needs), bathroom with shower and washing machine. The second room housed the iron which we found essential. Paulo has put a lot of personal touches to his home which reflect his kind and humanitarian nature, it is these things that help make it a home.
☑️Once again we would 100% recommend you choose to stay here when in Rome.☑️
