Gabriella was an amazing host. She was very flexible about letting us leave our luggage at the apartment while we explored until the apartment was ready. She was responsive to all our questions and was very informative about Roma as a city and gave us an amazing rundown of the San Lorenzo neighborhood.
The apartment itself had a homey feel. We had everything we needed with plenty of space. The location was fantastic with plenty of restaurants, gelaterias, bars, coffee shops, and markets. The Colosseum is about a 25 minute walk, but there are plenty of options for public transportation. The Vittorio Emanuele subway stop is about a 10-15 minute walk and it made it very easy to navigate to Vatican City and City Center. Also, the Termini Station is also within walking distance.
Overall, this was an amazing AirBnb experience, especially for our first European AirBnb experience.
