I had an amazing experience with this airbnb. Andrea was great. The apartment was great. But more than anything, the location is AMAZING.
The apartment is right in the heart of Rome. Step out the door and you are on beautiful, windy cobblestone streets. It is stunning, I really couldn't believe my eyes when I arrived at the location of the apartment. There are cafes and restaurants and gelaterias and bars and a grocery store all less than a 1 minute walk from the front door. Perfect starting place for a nice wander. You are within walking distance of everything: the Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, The Coliseum...it was really great. There are also plenty of taxis that can be easily hailed nearby. I couldn't have asked for a better location.
(Also, I was traveling alone, and as a single female I felt perfectly safe at all times in this area.)
The apartment was also perfect. Clean and sparse. Had everything you'd need and nothing more. More like a boutique hotel suite than someone's house. Perfect for a traveler.
Andrea was more than helpful, he accommodated my last minute booking, replied to my many messages right away, and even helped me figure out the best way to get from the airport to his place (SIT shuttle bus! Only 6 euros from Fiumicino to the Vatican stop. Then you can walk or take a taxi to the apartment). Once we met at the apartment, he carried my suitcase up the stairs to the apartment for me, showed me around the apartment, and gave me a very handy map of Rome on which he circled particular points of interest for me, which proved to be very helpful.
Thank you Andrea!!! Your place made my short stay in Rome unbelievable!!!
