Amazing. Superb. Awesome. Those are some words that describe Chiara's apartment.
It was remarkably clean and organized. Spacious bedrooms, spotless bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, supplied with breakfast goods, wine, water, chips, and much more. The living room has a great TV, cable, and strong internet (with a repeater that covers the whole apartment). The bathrooms are equipped with supplies and an emergency kit. Air Conditioners work perfectly and operate independently from each other, which is a great plus. Unlike most apartments in Italy, the washer is also a dryer which was much better since we had been traveling for a while. The decoration is exquisite and useful, the beds, pillows (my wife has neck problems and loved the pillow) and liners are super comfortable. The closets are great quality and there are full-size mirrors. The place is very well located. It is about 10 minutes walking to the Plaza de San Pietro, Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter’s Basilica, and Vatican museums. There is a Metro station just in front of the building.
Last but not least, Chiara is a superb hostess. Her warm welcome was a great start. In a few minutes, we felt as if we had known each other for a while and the chat could go on for a long time! She is very organized and thinks of every detail you can imagine. Other than taking time to explain to us how everything works, she gave as a book with all the instructions, maps, restaurants, places to visit, supermarkets, important phone numbers, etc. She was always available to answer any questions we had and went beyond what is expected from a host to offer help when my wife had knee pain due to a fall earlier in our trip. She even offered to take her to the hospital. Chiara is a very special person. Airbnb should hire her to train other hosts! Chiara's kindness, sweetness, and dedication made our stay in Rome unforgettable. We will be back for sure!
