In March of this (2016) year my wife and I visited our favorite city - Rome. Pre-booked apartment was through airbnb site.
The apartment was exactly as it was described by the owners Louise and Paul. Spacious, bright, well-equipped with new modern appliances and furniture. According to the instructions, Louise sent to us, we quickly got to the right place from the airport.
The location of the apartment is very convenient. Near are the Vatican, San Pietro, the Foro Romano and even to the Villa Borghese is not more than 15 minutes by the subway. The bus stop is at the 70 meters from the front door of the house, where a lot of the buses are stop. In addition, there are a supermarket, a great bakery, coffee shop, ice cream, McDonalds, pharmacy, pizzeria within the walking distance.
Louise was waiting for us in the apartment to show in details all the flat. The kitchen is fully equipped with new modern appliances for all occasions. You can come for a few days, and you can spend as much as 3 weeks with your family. Two spacious and beautifully decorated bathrooms are well lit and comfortable to use. The hosts are provided with a full set of towels, in accordance with the requirements of the 3 stars hotel. The bedrooms are spacious with large beds and two TVs. They are illuminated by the sun in the morning. The huge living room has a seating area and a dining area and a large balcony with flowers and furniture to relax in the air. All rooms (living room and bedroom) of theapartment are equipped with air conditioning, working for heating as well. The windows have security shutters, and there are a safe for valuables in one room.
Louise and Paul are very welcoming and open heart hosts. They left us a map of the city, bus tickets, bottle of champagne and give all helpful recommendations on our trip. Louise organized our transfer to the airport when we were leaving Rome. I had a birthday during the period of stay. Louise and Paul came to congratulate me. They brought a beautiful cake (photo attached), and said a lot of warm words. We talked all night. Wonderful, caring people! It was very nice!
We recommend to all this wonderful apartment and good caring owners.
Louise and Paul thank you very much for your hospitality. We will come to visit you again.
