I have to admit that I was a little nervous booking this apartment since it was a relatively new listing and had no reviews, but that all went away the moment we arrived. My teenage sister and I had the pleasure of being the first guests of Maurizio and Serena, and to say we were pleased with our stay is an understatement. We arrived a little later than planned because we were arriving by train from Milan, but we were all in constant communication so they were flexible in meeting us later than the standard check in time. The apartment far exceeded my expectations, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s newly renovated, very nicely decorated, had all the amenities we needed, and felt more like home than any other place I've ever rented (this was my 4th rental using airbnb).

The location is perfect, it’s within walking distance of all the major attractions, restaurants, metro, taxi stands – simply cannot be beat. And even though it’s on a busy street, you cannot hear any outside noise unless the windows are open. The building itself is very quiet, we didn't even see anyone else inside during our 5 night stay.

Maurizio and Serena were also very helpful- it was our first time in Rome and asked their recommendations for restaurants and about getting around the city – they were available at all times and responded right away to all messages. They also checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this was my best rental to date and I’m very pleased with the experience. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to stay there again on my next visit.
