If only this was my home. Large clean comfortable rooms, high ceilings, powerful air conditioning for the summer (you can run THREE air conditioners concurrently - just try doing that at some lesser airbnbs in Italy without tripping the power), and a nice little balcony with a stunning view of the Santa Maria Maggiore. The apartment also has gobs of character - stone ceilings, trompe l’oeil walls and a chandelier.
As hosts, Riccardo and Roberto have thought of everything - just look around the shelves and cupboards and you will find everything from power adaptors and washing powder to umbrellas and even Panama hats.
Roberto was kind enough to meet me earlier than agreed when I arrived half an hour ahead of schedule in the scorching heat. He was also very responsive during my stay and answered all my questions promptly and patiently.
Cavour is one of my favourite areas in Rome with lots of nice eateries, independent shops and studios nearby, as well as minimarts and a Pam local. The vicinity felt very safe even at night. Termini is less than 10 mins away on foot (or a hilariously short taxi ride if you have lots of luggage).
I’d stay here again in a flash if I ever get the opportunity to come back.
