We were unsure of booking an Airbnb for our first trip to Italy. We preferred to stay at a hotel, but all the hotels we checked were either too expensive, too far from local attractions or looked really tiny and unkept. We were really glad to have chosen Emanuele’s place. It was even better than a hotel. We took the Leonardo Express train from the airport to Termini station. We almost took the bus because it was cheaper, but are happy we didn’t as the train has enough room for a lot of luggage plus it was a nice ride with only one stop at Termini. From the Termini, it was about a 20 minute walk to the Airbnb. Make sure to have data in order to use Google maps. You can buy a sim with data inside Termini station (WIND). It will also be easier to message Emanuele that way. We did not have internet when we first got there, but were able to connect to airport wifi. The Termini wifi did not work for us. The Airbnb is located in an apartment building. Once you get in and go to the right floor, you open a door and there are 4 or 5 rooms in total that Emanuele rents out. Inside, the rooms are like hotel rooms. We only saw other people a few times and they were all friendly. They were tourists like us. The room itself has a big bed, TV, safe and a lot of storage space. The bedroom connects to a small room where a small fridge and kettle are located along with some chairs. This room is connected to the bathroom. The bathroom is small, but through our research we saw many TINY bathrooms and ones that didn’t have a proper shower space – so we thought this bathroom was good! Emanuele left packaged snacks for us and the room was clean when we arrived. On our first day, he showed us how to connect to the wifi and gave us a map. He was also available for any questions. One day, I needed an iron since some of my clothes were wrinkled. I knew that the iron wasn’t included in the room, but wanted to check with Emanuele anyways. He was there within 10 minutes and left an iron in another room for me to use. He had it set up because he personally irons the sheets and was in the process of cleaning another room that guests had checked out of. The Airbnb is on the street with a lot of multicultural restaurants. You will see more locals than tourists around. There is a grocery store literally steps away. The metro is a 4 minute walk that can take you to many places. We didn’t have any problems on the metro, but just be careful. Keep your bags in front of you and don’t keep anything in your pockets. We used the metro to get to the Vatican, a meeting spot...
