This is the first time I ever used Airbnb and I am very satisfied with their services. My husband and I were a little worried about renting other people apartment instead of the usual hotel room. But I am glad we did -- not only the whole transition and communication were very smooth and clear but the whole experience let us feel more Italian.

Paolo met us at the apartment without any delay and even offered his help with our heavy suitcase. Also, he left bottled sparkling water, maps, books about Italy and some snacks which we gratefully excepted.

The location and the view were divine: my husband and I could see the Roman Forum from our own apartment window! The Coliseum - Rome’s most famous architectural attraction - was only minutes away! I could not believe how lucky we were!

The apartment was very clean and cozy. It was also true to pictures posted for this listing. It is equipped with everything you might need: from shampoo to a small washing machine under the sink. Paolo's apartment was the first stop for 3 nights during our trip to Italy. Now, by comparison, I know it was one of the best accommodations of our journey across country.

The only slight downside was bad isolation: we could hear our neighbors next door and birds on the roof at night.
