We stayed for a full month and I can honestly say that this was the best apartment I've ever rented.
The location is ideal, situated on a quiet, almost hidden street in the heart of the historical center. You can walk in minutes to the Campo de' Fiori, to Trastevere, to the Jewish quarter, to Navona.
The apartment is stylish, spacious, and was impeccably clean. Having an in-suite bathroom in each of the two bedrooms made life easy. The master bedroom has an enormous walk-in closet with plenty of hangers that isn't pictured among the photos. The kitchen, which is on its own level with an outdoor terrace, has everything you need to cook at home. We weren't able to take advantage of the terrace during the cold weeks of February, but it's absolutely beautiful. Having a large desk in the living room as well as a kitchen table upstairs makes it easy to get a little work done if you need to do so.
Gaia is professional and responsive. She made sure that we had everything we needed, including rides from the airport and two separate early-morning return rides back to the airport. She's also incredibly warm, funny and sweet.
There are a couple of tiny drawbacks that would *not* prevent me from staying here again:
- food vendors at the nearby Campo de' Fiori market store their carts in the building next door. They noisily rumble these out and across the cobblestones every morning at around 6am. We use a white noise app on our phones and the noise didn't bother us too much, but people who are extremely sensitive to noise should be aware.
- the internet went out a dozen times every day. It would automatically come back on after 1-2 minutes or after resetting the modem. It was a minor annoyance and not the end of the world, but they could perhaps work on getting that fixed.
Despite those very small issues, this was the best experience I've ever had with AirBnB. I almost hesitate to write such a rave review because I don't want it to book up and be unavailable in the future :)
Thanks Gaia!
