We stayed at this lovely apartment for 4 nights, during the first week of October. Karina, the AIRBNB host, met us at the apartment and became an incredible resource for us during our stay in Rome.
The apartment is such a welcome respite from the energy of the city! It is in the best location and is central to any of the sites around Rome as well as the plethora of restaurants, cafes and shops! We were able to walk or scooter to any place we wanted such as the Colosseum, the fountain tour, the Pantheon, delicious restaurants and adorable markets. We do recommend renting the scooters to navigate the city as they are fun and functional to use! The apartment's decor and furnishings are so retro and fun! The beds are very comfortable and there are many choices for sleeping arrangements with a variety of bed sizes and rooms available. You will find a peaceful retreat in the apartment with a warm sunroom to drink your coffee in during the morning, a well appointed sitting area/living room to hang out in, a small patio to get fresh air on and two super functional bathrooms with all the amenities you would need including soft and fluffy towels. The TV in the living room is a little small (for American standards, as a caveat) but we were able to connect to our computer and we did enjoy watching movies together. The apartment building itself was incredibly clean and beautiful with a winding staircase made of travertine, beautiful windows and even a small elevator to use.
Karina became a friend and continual resource during our stay. She not only helped us make arrangements for shuttles and rides to pick up family from the airport, but she also made reservations for us, gave accurate directions, recommendations and information to help us traverse the city. Additionally, she made herself available through WhatsApp for any questions we had. On my birthday, she recommended we have dinner at a certain restaurant and, when we mentioned her name to the proprietor, we were seated right away and treated to great service, even though, in our experience, it was difficult to get into many of the top-rated restaurants in Rome. We have traveled extensively around the world and it is very uncommon to have such great service from a host to ensure our stay is seamless and enjoyable. Karina is a rare bird and we appreciated her very much during our stay.
We would definitely stay here in the future and were happy to have the privilege and opportunity to visit such an incredible city as Rome. Thank you for the memories!
