First make sure your taxi takes you to the right street. One street over there is the same house number and when err figured the mistake, dragging our luggage through the cobblestones was not that great. Second, there is a small tourist tax collected outside of the fees paid on airbnb.

But on to the actual review of the apartment....

I've been home from Rome two weeks, and the sound and sights coming from Borgo Pio still enchant me.

The apt is very true to pictures. Wood floors bookcase upon entry interesting knock-knacks, two full bathrooms, two huge bedrooms. Both rooms over looked the street.

Sometimes it would be "noisy" but this noise was real life, people chatting after work at dinner, walking to work in the morning, street cleaners. I loved standing out the window and looking out.

The area is filled with little restaurants and they were yummy. There are at least 4 gelato shops on the block. There is a water fountain across the street. We bought water everyday and on the last day filed from this fountain. Forget buying water, this fountain is clean and cold.

I can't wait to go back and I world definitely stay here.
