If you look for a true Roman experience, look no further. Andriana’s apartment has everything my wife and I looked for.
The apartment looks like it was someone’s palace in the old times with high ceilings, private balcony, double wooden doors, a fireplace decorated with marble. It is equipped with a modern bathroom with rainforest shower. The living room has a smart TV. In the day we visited the Coloseum and at night we watched The Gladiator on it.
The apartment is located in a folksy neighborhood of Rome. The street one block away is very busy with lots of local restaurants, pastry shops and bars. The apartment however is located in a quiet back street.
The host is extremely friendly and greeted us upon our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact that Andriana provided water bottle, juice, and pastries in the apartment, and even gave us a pandoro, the Italian Christmas cake, as we arrived on the Christmas Day.
Andriana also provided a list of nice restaurants, pizza takeouts, pastry/coffee shops. Her selection is absolutely fantastic, and all her recommended restaurants we went to are true local Italian restaurants and none of them was a tourist trap.
We spent four nights at Andriana’s place, and have no regrets but all appreciation about Andriana’s hospitality. We highly recommend Andriana as your Airbnb host in Rome and believe you will love your experience as we did.
