The apartment is as described. A walk-up building, in the heart of downtown Rome. Perfectly clean and ideal for one or two people.
Mario is an excellent host. There are perhaps a few minor minuses with this place, but Mario’s kindness, professionalism, availability, reliability make it totally worth it staying at his AirBnB. He responds promptly and efficiently to all communications at any time of night or day. If one needs anything, he’ll make sure to provide it and be helpful. He was there to meet me and helped with my (rather heavy) suitcase. A truly wonderful person: think of how awful your entire vacation and experience would be, if the owner of your place were terrible, unreliable, dishonest. So, you want someone like Mario! (Grazie, Mario.)
Just two little observations: The bedroom looks over Via dei Coronari, therefore, if one is a light-sleeper that could be an issue—as there’s a lot of noise coming from the street(s). (Personally, I sleep undisturbed if you dance the rumba on my bed… so that wasn’t a problem for me. But it needs be pointed out for those who might need total quiet at night.)
As other people have pointed out, the signal of the router unfortunately does not reach outside the bedroom: I couldn’t check/send messages/texts from the kitchen/living-room.
All in all: 5 stars and much gratitude.
