I cannot say enough wonderful things about my 12 day stay with Federica and her amazing family! It was my first trip to Europe/Italy/Rome and staying here was absolutely a highlight of the trip for me. Their warmth, and hospitality made me feel immediately at home.
I had a glitch with my friend in Rome regarding transportation and Federica helped me navigate to catch the train and find the Airbnb. She made it so easy! On top of that, their apartment is steps away from the main Termini station as well as another Metro station, making it easy to get around Rome via bus, train, Metro.
The apartment itself is just as described and pictured, but even BETTER! So open, fresh and tastefully decorated. You will get a quiet and restful night's sleep. The room is gorgeous, clean and welcoming-stocked full of necessities-even a hair dryer came in handy as well as their washer and dryer.
Federica always offered delicious coffee and breakfast and was also always available for any question I had. Both she and her husband looked for every opportunity to help me - finding tickets to the Opera, helping me know which metro to take, finding an early morning ride back to the airport. They truly went out of their way to make sure I had a beautiful stay in Rome. I was gone a lot of the time, out visiting friends and churches and historic sites, but I just made sure to be respectful and quiet when I arrived back to the apartment late. They were always giving me whatever space I needed but also making sure I was taken care of. Truly a great balance.
On the night before I left, they even invited me and the other couple staying there to a WONDERFUL sit down home cooked Italian dinner made by Federica. Staying here truly felt like community and family.
Trust me, this is the Airbnb you want, and even all the more, I would put an extra recommendation as a solo female traveler-you will feel safe and at home with Federica and her family. They are absolutely the best and now consider them friends!
