We had a fantastic stay at Vincenzo's place. He and his partner Elisa were so welcoming and kind and the check-in was great. There were jams, honey, tea, biscuits and milk for breakfast so we didn't have to find a shop first thing, and they brought us some delicious local pastries as a welcome/honeymoon present (visitors: check out the amazing pasticceria next door!)
The communication was great - a couple of times we had a question, Vincenzo replied as soon as he could to help. They are the perfect hosts!
The apartment is big, airy, spotlessly clean, cool and spacious with a comfortable bed. The location is great too, next to the Re Di Roma metro station on the "A" line and lots of buses. The piazza outside is buzzing with locals enjoying the evening. Even though it is close to transport and the main road, we had no problems with noise or traffic and slept well. If you like to walk and take in the sights, the neighbourhood is good and safe to walk in, and only 40 minutes to the Colosseum and Forum in the city centre by foot. There is also a reasonable and well-stocked "Simply" supermarket a minute or two away and a bio/organic shop which was great as I am vegetarian and my husband is vegan, and we were able to buy soya milk and vegan food.

One thing to remember is the local Rome tourist tax that all hotel, rental apartments and B&B guests must pay - don't forget to leave yourself enough in your holiday budget to cover it. For the two of us for 10 days it was €70 and this goes straight to the local city council rather than the host/hotel, and it won't be included in your AirBnB payment and you'll need to remember to pay it separately.
Lastly, check out Re Di Roma Pizza a minute's walk away - it's justifiably famous with Rome locals for its amazing supplí and pizza!
Many thanks to Vincenzo and Elisa for a great time!
