I wanted to take the time to write a review as I felt there were many great points about this place! However, I will begin with one issue we had.
At the beginning of booking we had quick replies. Then after, replies were very slow… although it is understandable as hosts can get very busy - it would have been helpful.
Once they did finally reply, one of the hosts Andrea was just very rude and blunt. Everything that was said by myself was taken offensively by Andrea, and rather than make us feel comfortable, my family and I were concerned and a little upset a few days before we were due to leave for Rome. Andrea did not make us feel welcome.
Monica another host for Ninas LA apartment on the other hand, was fantastic and we were delighted to have met with her once we arrived.
She was friendly and chatty which made us feel a whole lot better! She explained everything clearly - from the sets of keys to how to work the lift! Also offered to help with our bags… kindness goes a long way.
The apartment was exactly like the photos! Nice spacious rooms, beautiful bathrooms and a lovely kitchen. The apartment was beautiful and clean once we arrived and smelt lovely too! Do not be fooled by the outside of which there is a busy street - the apartment is quiet and lovely! Unless you open the windows of course. There are blinds for all windows to ensure it doesn’t get too hot along with the AC!
It’s literally a 5 min walk to the Vatican which was perfect! Monica was always on hand to reply to anything we needed… she even suggested a restaurant called ‘Maccheroni’ which was a lovely experience! Upon leaving the apartment Monica kindly let us leave our luggage until 12noon whilst it was being cleaned. Thank you Monica for making our first experience in Rome lovely x
