My only regret is that I can only give this place a maximum of 5 stars... because it deserves at least 20. Yes. Twenty.
Out of all the places I've stayed in Europe, this has been without a doubt the best one.
Apartment:
In the basement, private studio.
There is a bedroom, with additional beds in the living room to accommade the 4 of us perfectly. It includes a washing machine, with detergent and drying rack included (no dryer).
What you get:
-A very spacious shower (I've had a bad experience in other places because the showers were too small but not this one
-Comfortable beds with additional blankets to fit your needs
-A dining table set
-Nice kitchen with everything
-Dozens and dozens of plates and glassware at your disposal
-Closet
Nearby:
-Convenience store that opens til 12am (sells beer, drinks, snacks, hard liquor, ramen, razors, tampons, everything) on the same block
-Delicious steak restaurant 30 seconds away
-30 second walk to the nearest transportation
-Place to buy cigarettes nearby
-Delicious italian restaurants a couple blocks away
I didn't get to meet Giovanna personally, but her husband made us feel very welcome. The location is awesome, and the hosts are awesome. Obviously the nature of AirBnB is business, but our stay in Rome felt like a host to guest relationship.
Also, Giovanna works for a tour company, which offers bike and segway tours (unfortunately it was booked for us but you should book it in advance if interested)
When we were travelling in Rome, we missed the apartment because it was so nice. We wish we had stayed longer.
In conclusion, visiting Rome? Why look elsewhere when this one is perfect?
Big thanks to Giovanna and Roberto
