Honestly, this was the best Air BnB I stayed at, during my entire Europe trip. I'm not one to write reviews, unless my experience was horrible or excellent. Fortunately, this review is for the latter. This was the last Air BnB I was staying at, during my trip, and it was such a great way to end my trip. The space was a lot better than I had expected. Francesco's place is more like a hotel, rather than an Air BnB.
First of all, I was impressed with how responsive he was, even prior to my trip. Being a solo female traveler from California, I was a little nervous with how close Francesco's place was to the Roma Termini (I've seen review that said staying near train stations could be dangerous), and I had asked Francesco about safety, and he assured me that it was safe. My train was arriving later than the normal check-in time, and he allowed a late check-in and ALSO offered to meet me at the train station, and walk me to the accommodation! That was so nice of him, and he said he offered to meet me because he wanted to give me a sense of security & safety. I was so touched!
His place is literally 3 mins from the Roma Termini. So convenient. Upon arrival, I was surprised with how modern & bright the place was. Francesco did an excellent job at giving me all the tips/advice about the location & also did a great job at showing me all the logistical things about the place. He provided a helpful map and also gave me free breakfast vouchers, to a cafe around the block from his place.
I loved the room and it was the perfect size for a solo traveler. Having my own private bathroom inside my bedroom is so convenient. There was even a daily maid service, which I was pleasantly surprised about! My bed was made and trash was taken out, on a daily.
Again, as a female solo traveler, I felt really safe in this neighborhood. Because it was so close to the Roma Termini, there are A LOT of travelers walking around late at night, and a lot of restaurants/bars nearby. SPEAKING OF, if you're staying at Francesco's place, you must try Mamma Angela's! Francesco recommended this place to me and I ended up eating there 3x during my stay. The service is excellent there & the food is amazing!
As you can tell, I really enjoyed my stay here at Francesco's Air BnB. If I ever come back to Rome, I will MOST definitely book Francesco's place again.
Thank you for an amazing ending to my trip to Italy, Francesco!
