My family and I stayed at Francesco's place in Rome, the last city in our European holiday. Despite being the last, his apartment was probably one of our favourite places.
The most notable aspect is that it was quite a spacious apartment for a city like Rome. The photos on Airbnb did not convey this very well. It was a nice surprise.
The apartment was also well decorated. I personally favour European design and Francesco's place was a lovely mix of modern and classic style.
The bathroom: very modern and clean. The water pressure was great and it held everything that you could need.
The kitchen: also modern and clean. It was easy to use all the utilities and there was a washing machine which is really helpful if you are staying for a few days and only have a limited number of outfits. Or if you would just prefer to wash your clothes when and where possible.
The bedroom/living room: beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. It was more than enough for our family of four.
The host: Francesco was super helpful and speedy with communication. If there are issues, you can just Whatsapp/message him and he will respond almost immediately. He also prepared a handwritten book with a list of his recommended restaurants nearby, tips on where to visit, where the nearest grocery shop is and where to buy metro/bus tickets etc. This was a nice, personalised touch.
The location: literally a 5 minute walk from the Colosseum/Colosseo (and the Colosseo Metro), therefore extremely convenient.
Our family could not praise this place enough. We would definitely recommend it to all our friends and family.
