We had the most fantastic busy 3 day stay in Rome and it was all thanks to Matteo, right from when I booked, the communication from Matteo and the utube videos of how to meet him at the station how to get to the supermarket info on restaurants, maps etc. Then we met him and it was liking meeting a friend he collected us form the train station and had a map for each of us with the recommendations of what to see, where to eat and what food to eat in a particular area, he was such a professional, but never pushy just very caring and genuine, he asked us what we would like to see, what we liked to eat what kind of experiences we liked and then made more suggestions. The apartment was just perfect, we felt very safe, it was quiet, comfortable bed good pillows, we slept for 10 hours on the first night, good shower, hot water, plenty big enough for 2 we slept for 10 hours the first night. It is so central we walked everywhere, from as close as the Spanish steps which are about 200 metres to the Vatican City and everything in between we saw most of all of Rome following Matteo,s must see list there is no need to take any public transport plus you see a lot more if you walk. There is an array of brochures on the kitchen table there is even a map on the wall of food and eating recommendations numbered from 1 to about 12 ( fantastic) and a great mini library of books to read about Rome which we did and found them very informative. Matteo explained that his parents ( who we met on the way to the train station and are a gorgeous couple ) used to live there, he and an architect renovated it in keeping with the old tradition as it was previously a monastery, a lot of the furniture was especially made and chosen for the apartment and it is very well done. Matteo kept in touch with us by whatsapp every night to make sure we were ok and asked if we needed anything and just to let us know that he was around if we needed anymore recommendations it was like we had our own personal online tour guide. We have been travelling Europe now using Airbnb for 8 weeks (10 Airbnb’s in total) and have previously stayed in many Airbnb’s in Australia and have never met someone as passionate, and as genuinely caring about you and that you have the best experience in Rome as Matteo is, we have given him the unofficial title of Roman Ambassador!!!!! If you chose Matteo’s apartment you will also have the best experience in Rome. Without a doubt. We just wish we had stayed longer.
