Best Airbnb yet!
Stayed for six nights.
Brand new flat. Very clean, which is the most important factor for us because we take our shoes off inside the home. There is also a vacuum and mop available in case of any spills.
Check-in was smooth with Marco’s assistant (Francesco) meeting us at the apartment. Marco lives on the same floor and came to introduce himself the next day, and checked in with us daily (via Whatsapp) to make sure everything was ok. Marco also provided us with a list of restaurant recommendations and bus routes to make our stay easier - this was a nice touch.
Oh, Marco also provided us with a bottle of wine on arrival, and he arranged a free round of drinks for us at the restaurant downstairs (which we unfortunately didn’t have time to take advantage of)
The location was perfect for our family of four (8 & 5 year olds). 2 min walk from a Carrefour, and the neighborhood is a quiet/safe area that is just 5 mins by foot from St. Peter’s Basilica. Don’t be put off because this place is outside of the “Spanish Steps—Trevi Fountain—Piazza Navona” triangle. Marco’s place is a quick cab/bus ride away from those spots (I recommend using the taxi app, “Free Now”, which is SO convenient).
Another thing about this apartment is that it is always cool inside. We barely used the air conditioner despite the >35-degree heat! It was amazing. All thanks to Roman engineering? I don’t know, but the cool temperature inside the apartment was very welcome. But if/when you do need it, the air conditioner works great.
The beds are super comfortable and each room has air conditioning (which we barely ever used). Three bedrooms and two bathrooms was more than enough space for our family of four (we used one bedroom for our luggage). Having two bathrooms is also super convenient.
I can’t recommend this place enough. All parents know that the key to a great vacation with kids is an excellent home base, and this place had everything we needed.
Thank you, Marco, for your wonderful hospitality!
