It was my first time using Airbnb and I rented Gian's apartment for a month late Jan to late February 2016 as I was working in Rome.

I was met by Gian and his wife on the morning of arrival and they couldn't of been more nice and helpful. The apartment was even better than the photos and its a lot bigger than I expected. The Apt was like a home from home and had everything that you could want, even down to a needle and thread! The wifi was very fast too which was important to me.

The neighbourhood was brilliant with loads of quirky shops, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, artist studios etc. The apt was one minute walk to the metro stop Cavour (b line) which was great too. The atmosphere on Via Urbana is something to experience, it's vibrant but quiet at night with not many tourists just locals enjoying an evening meal out.

I don't have anything bad to say as it was all a big plus for me. I couldn't recommend Gian's apartment more and I will definitely be back if im deployed to Rome again or even going for a short trip.
