We cannot recommend a stay at Federico and Irina's place highly enough. First of all the space itself is modern and light and very tastefully decorated, making the time you spend there comfortable and relaxing. Next, the location is great. About 10 minutes walk to the Colosseum and easy access to both metro lines. Restaurants, cafes, and shops in the immediate vicinity. But ultimately it's the warm hospitality that is the very best thing! Federico met us at the apartment and showed us around when we arrived. We hadn't eaten dinner so he went with me to a restaurant around the corner and helped me order take-out (it was late + kids). So nice! He sent a suggested first day itinerary and we were in touch during the stay and he provided restaurant recommendations through out, all of which were very good! Finally, when we had some drama due to left-behind passports on the last day, Irina came to the rescue with the apartment key and called us a taxi. Federico even called to see that we made it home. I feel like we had a true "AirBnB" experience where you actually get to connect a little with your hosts... and what wonderful people they are! Thank you Federico and Irina!!
