We picked Pina's lovely apartment on the basis of the glowing recommendations and the attractive presentation on the AirBnB' website. There was nothing overstated from either source.

Pina's husband spotted us immediately as we exited the Metro, weary travelers that we were, and escorted us directly to our home away from home in Rome. It was such a relief to be welcomed so warmly and into such a spotlessly clean apartment, modern, yet decorated with homey, comforting touches.

We stayied in Italy 12 nights, the 1st 2 and last 2 nights were at Pina's apartment. We were excited to return the second time, back "home", to recharge our batteries and relax before our flight back to the States.

I feel like Pina and family were instant friends and did everything they could to make our visit to Rome as pleasant as possible. The cell phone she provided to us was a Godsend, and made us feel secure during our stay this big, sprawling, awe inspiring city. She was instrumental in guiding us in our transfer to Sorrento for the middle 8 nights of our trip, down to researching and presenting us with exact train departure times, while were were out having a blast in the city.. Having this instant friend in Rome gave us that extra touch of confidence which allowed us to more fully enjoy our vacation.

The Metro really is as convenient as reported on the other comments we read, but really the connection from city center to the apartment stop was only 5 to 10 minutes in our experience, not the 20 minutes states by others. (I did get caught in the closing subway doors once, but Pina wasn't there to tell me to get my skinny little butt moving!)

Without hesitation, I recommend that you book this apartment. I will be recommending it to all of my friends and family visiting Rome. As a matter of fact, I just did so tonight, to a business associate planning a trip in the next year.

Thanks again Pina, with double cheeked Italian kisses to you and your family.

Tom and Family
