Overall, we were pleased with our stay! Piera's son, Italo, met us at the apartment on time and was kind enough to help us with our bags (up 4 flights of stairs - it feels good when you get to the top:))

The neighborhood feels safe even though you're right off a busier street. Walking around we saw many locals and felt safe venturing in all directions (except maybe east - toward Termini - at night). That being said, it was quick to the metro stop on Cavour, quick to two different grocers, great gelato and cafes all around and obviously in walking distance to all of the archaeological site (but we like walking - the metro is definitely an option for those that don't).

The apartment was clean and well represented by the photos and had all the necessary amenities and then some! (Blow dryer, wifi, air conditioning, kitchen, etc.)

Our only problem the whole time was the air conditioning unit.. it leaked water when we had it on for more than an hour on two separate occasions. Piera and Italo were quick to respond and to attend to the issue. (Which, in comparison to our other Airbnb hosts, was exceptional.)

Only one star deducted for this issue but seriously a 5-star stay!!

(Quick tip: most restaurants nearby were very touristy - but one that wasn't and worth the extra dollar sign was Relazione Culinarie! AMAZING! Looking to get out further for better shopping and food, head to Trastevere which is just across the Tevere and so worth it!)
