This was my first stay in Rome and my first experience with airbnb. And it was fantastic!
Simona and her family are great hosts and live next door. They are super helpful and considerate!
The apartment is really nice, it has everything you need (from basic kitchen utensils to electric coffeemaker, hairdryer and iron) and it's actually larger than it looks on the pictures.
It's situated in a residential area near to Vatican City and it's only a short walk into the centro storico. I really enjoyed walking around Prati (an area where many locals live and work), up Gianicolo hill (really nice view over Rome) and around the park Villa Doria Pamphilj (Rome's largest park). These places are all within walking distance of the flat. Bus connection is also good, the 64 stops right in front of the flat.
If you're looking for a place to feel at home while you discover Rome, I really recommend Simona's apartment!
