My group of five had a wonderful stay at Alessandro and Flaminia’s AMAZING apartment.
Pros
-Location location location - short 5-10 min walk to the Vatican and the Metro station. Bus stop around the corner. Two grocery stores are within a 1 block radius which allowed us to cook breakfast in the mornings before heading out to see the sites.
-Spacious apartment - 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, living room, formal dining room, and kitchen. The place is HUGE. It allowed my group to spread out. There were enough towels and bath supplies for the group. The place was on the 4th floor of the building, which had an elevator so we didn’t have to lug our luggage up the flights of stairs.
-Amenities - the kitchen was well stocked with whatever items one would need to make a cup of coffee to cook a meal. We couldn’t get the stove to fire up on its own without a lighter, but it wasn’t a huge issue.
-Communication - Flaminia met us at the apartment to check-in and show us around. Before getting to the apartment and throughout our stay, their communication was top notch, be it thru the Airbnb messenger or on WhatsApp. Replies were super quick, and they provided clear instructions on getting there from the airport.
Cons
Only thing I can think of is the WiFi in the apartment was very spotty. But I was already planning to up buy a local data sim from the TIM store a few blocks away so it wasn’t a big issue. €20 for 10gb data for 30 days.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Rome in a beautiful, grand, and spacious apartment, conveniently located, you will be hard pressed to find a better place than this!
