October is such a great month to visit Rome. We had a very positive first experience with Airbnb staying at Giulios apartment in the centrally located trendy Trastevere district. The apartment was modern clean and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights and had 3 undisturbed nights sleep there. We didn't actually meet Giulio as he was away for the weekend but he had everything arranged for us starting with arranging a driver to collect us from the airport and finishing with allowing us to store our bags at his home on the final day.
I would definitely recommend. Thank you Giulio!
