We got in contact prior to travelling out (via text message/whatsapp) to arrange met ups and travelling from the airport, which was very helpful in making us feel confident and less nervous about finding the place! Although she couldn't met us in person on the first day, she let us know in advance where we could meet her friend and she then showed us around. We both felt incredibly welcomed, and was even more over-joyed to find the flat even better than the pictures portrayed! The apartment is a perfect size for a weekend break( we were there for 4 nights), and located in a very desirable district, we couldn't of asked for more! Vatican City was a 15min walk away, you are two minutes from the River, and countless bars/restaurants on your doorstep which means you can always stock up quickly after a long day of site seeing! We would advise using the bus/tram networks, purely to save your feet on long days - you can buy a ticket from any tabacchi (green hut) for all journeys :). This was our first Air bnb experience, but I would recommend it to anyone. Much more personal than a hotel, and far cheaper! It also allowed us to take the holiday at our own pace and felt we could make our own (very temporary) home in the middle of Rome. Thank you Laura again for a lovely stay!
