I stayed at Felipe's top floor apartment for four nights while in town for a conference, held at the Parco della Musica. This location was perfect for the conference, as it was a quick and easy 10 minute walk. The location also turned out to be ideal to see all that Rome has to offer, being around the corner from the 2 Tram that takes you to the subway and near all the sights (Coliseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish steps, etc., etc.). I also ended up walking quite a bit though--you can get to all these sights within an hours walk, and also to Vatican City in about 45 minutes walk--this was a great way to see more of the city. The location can sometimes feel a bit isolated as it is more a neighborhood than a tourist destination--but there is a great Peruvian restaurant down the block AND a fantastic gelato place right around the corner. These were great options to have nearby, and both were open quite late which was very convenient.

The apartment itself was beautiful, and worth every penny just for the private rooftop patio. I spent many nights up there working, eating dinner, enjoying a cone of gelato, or just watching the city go by. If there was a bed or hammock up there, I would have slept up there too! The rest of the apartment was clean and spacious.

Filipe was a great host. He met me at the apartment to check in, was very thorough in explaining how everything worked, was quick with communication, and best of all he was very kind on my last day and let me keep my bags in the apartment until the evening so I could have one last full sightseeing day before leaving Rome. This kind of hospitality and graciousness is not found in all hosts, so I really appreciated it!

Overall a fantastic experience, and probably one of my most favorite Airbnb experiences to date!
