This was our first Airbnb experience and we were really glad we chose Barbara's apartment. Barbara greeted us with a really warm and friendly welcome. She took the time to show us around the room and gave us some tips about the local area which was really kind of her. When we had to change our check out time due to a cancelled flight she was very helpful too.

The room itself is brilliant. It is certainly 4 star hotel quality plus you have the added bonus of the kitchenette. We also found the location good. The metro is 5 minutes around the corner, however we walked into the historic centre most of the time which took about 25 minutes. (The Vatican was about 10-15 minutes down the road too).

The bed was large and comfy. The bathroom was really well furnished and the shower was good. There was a hair dryer and plug adapter (Italian to EU) in the bathroom too which was a nice surprise. The fridge in the kitchenette is also a great thing to have, as well as there being a decent safe in the room.

One thing that really impressed us was the wifi! A mobile wireless dongle comes with the room which you can then take with you during the day, giving you wifi wherever you are in Rome.

The only criticism we had was that the flat was located on the ground floor by the entrance. This meant it was a little noisy at times with people walking in and out of the building.

Overall a great place, a brilliant and accommodating host. We will certainly stay here again next time we visit Rome. Thanks Barbara!
