Our favorite Italian host is Manola, and her apartment was our favorite Airbnb stay. We had our bag stolen with passport, credit cards, apartment keys, sim card, etc, the day before we flew out of Italy to Australia and we couldn't have asked for a more supportive host than Manola, even though we didn't meet her in person. Her quick response to let us back into the apartment enabled us to quickly cancel our cards, and get to the embassy for an emergency passport for the next day departure. Manola and her Mother were so kind when we most needed it.
On our arrival, it was a very smooth transition from the train station to the apartment with Manola very organised and communicative in advance. The taxi was able to easily find the place, and the housekeeper was waiting to give us an excellent run over of the apartment.
The apartment is spotlessly clean, linen wonderfully fresh, and is a relaxed and very functional place, we cooked a few simple meals.
The sofa bed was comfortable and wifi worked well. There was no need for the air conditioner, yet the spare fan was handy. The apartment is fabulously located in Rome, up a flight of stairs then a small lift which we didn't use, to the door. It is located 700 metres from the Trevi fountain, a few minutes away from the taxi rank and metro train station. All very handy. It took us 40 minutes to walk from the Vatican City or €8 (up to €15 at other times) taxi ride if you have an early morning tour booked. Numerous restaurants and bars are in easy 5-10minute walking distance.
It was a very comfortable stay and we would definitely stay again when next in Rome. Thanks Manola.
