We've stayed in 4 different Airbnbs throughout Italy during our 4-week trip and, although we've enjoyed all of the homes, this host was the best.

He wasn't able to greet us but had a friend meet us instead. Because of our train schedule, it was hard to pin down an exact time that we'd arrive but Massimo's friend was extremely accommodating.

Instructions for how to do things in the house were written out in English which was nice for us since we were exhausted when we arrived. He had also typed out a list of phone numbers that would be handy, such as taxis as well as nearby restaurants that delivered meals. He even had a map of how to get around Rome.

He even left a beautiful bowl of fruit to welcome us. Wow!

If you want a home close to St. Peter's, this is it! At the end of the street, you can see the walls of the Vatican and can walk to St. Peter's within 10 minutes. There were many restaurants and shops (bakery, coffee, gelato) close by as well.

The home was much bigger than I thought it would be. It's actually a one-bedroom with an additional bedroom loft and the sofa could also be expanded for two more people. Since it was just my husband and I, we never even went upstairs but it looked cozy. This home could easily accommodate 6 people if need be.

I can't even begin to express my appreciation to Massimo for allowing us into his home during our 6-day stay in Rome.
