It was a very great experience that stay in Irene's apartment. First of all, I would like to point out that this may be the best choice in Rome if you looking for an unique travel experience. As an Airbnb user, I think having a different experience in our journey is very important. To experience a local Roman lifestyle, Irene provides an perfect environment and lots of useful, main stream/ non main stream tourist information. I could tell my friends that I have been the places, the restaurants, the lifestyle, the community that they never heard about.
Also, Irene is so kind, helpful and easy to communicate. Everything we sit in her garden, she will come out and say hello to us. Then we had lots of happy conversation from the day we spent in Rome to the cultural issue in our home country.Sometimes, her younger son danced and shared his favorite music to us.
Thirdly, the picture and description on Airbnb are accurate. The apartment is clean and tidy.
Last but not the least, I have made a serious mistakes when I was leaving. But Irene just tried to help and fix the situation and keep telling me no worry. She is really a very very very nice person.
Her apartment is not in the tourist area. Take the tram, just 8mins to Rome Termini. Bus is slow, but travel to all main sightseeing spots. So, it is out of the busiest center but easy to access, plus it's a quiet and safe community with all the things you need until late night. (24 hrs Carrefour :) )
Highly recommended to real Airbnb users.
