Laura’s place is much better than expected. The photos doesn’t do it justice. The apartment is larger than the photos look and there are two separate rooms each with its own loft bed and it’s own couch and living space. next to the apartment front entrance, there is a bakery and a small mini mart where you can get water, juice, fruits, snacks and wine.
More importantly the apartment location is superb. It’s a ten
Minute walk to the coliseum and from there it is easy to get to the old city.
In terms of amenities, the kitchen is fairly stocked with all the pots and pans but the pantry is empty except for some pasta and olive oil which makes sense.
There is a washing machine and fridge and there are lots of towels, toilet paper available. There is also an iron and hairdryer. There are also two small table fans for when the night or days get really hot and humid.
Toilet is small though and you will feel squeezed but it is still comfortable to use and clean.
Laura and Daniele are just amazing hosts when it comes to easy and friendly check in. Plus Laura gave lots of good recommendations of what restaurant to eat, transport options to/from the airport, and communications between host and renter are fast and responsive.
One restaurant we will recommend is the stunning Michelin star restaurant Aroma Restaurant That serves amazing Italian food at the rooftop of the Palazzo Manfredi where you can dine in romantic style while overlooking the roof top view of the coliseum.
The only drawback i can say about the apartment is the stairs to the loft bed. One is the metal spiral staircase and the other is wooden stairs with no barrier. The room facing the window and with the view of the coliseum is the one with the stairs with no barriers so I would not ever recommend walking up or down the stairs while drunk.
Also at night it can get very noisy so I recommend closing the window to block the street noise weather permitting.
