It is hard to imagine after looking at the listing for this property that it could be even better than it looks, but it is! Ari’s place is by far one of the nicest apartments I have stayed in with AirBnB and it will be the first place I look next time I plan to visit Rome.
The check in process was excellent, Ari met us at the apartment at an agreed time and showed us around, providing detailed information about all of its quirks and how to work everything we may wish to use. Ari was also very helpful throughout our stay and organised a driver for our very early flight home.
Ari left us in the apartment with a gift to celebrate my partners birthday (the reason we had travelled to Italy) which was such a lovely touch. There was also essentials such as pastries, bread, milk, coffee and juice left for us in the fully equipped kitchen. Other amenities included a few books about Rome, plenty of toiletries and a small sewing kit.
The apartment has two balconies, one attached to the bedroom (with a bistro table and washing machine) and a larger one upstairs with a large patio space and sitting area. The views were absolutely lovely and it was a great place to watch a sunset before heading out for the evening.
The apartment is located in Monti, we picked this as we have both travelled to Rome before and wanted to stay somewhere still very central but within an area known to have good bars and restaurants. We spent a lot of time in the local area and would highly recommend anyone who stays here to do so. Other popular areas of Rome are accessible in at most a 25 minute walk, but the apartment is also very close to Cavour metro station.
Overall, my partner and I absolutely LOVED this apartment and Ari was one of the friendliest, most helpful hosts we have experienced on AirBnB. I couldn’t recommend this place more and can’t wait to book again in the future!
