This apartment was just absolutely perfect. To start, Paola knew we were visiting Rome as part of our honeymoon trip and the details she left for us made us feel so appreciated and welcome! She truly made the stay feel like we were there to celebrate our marriage. Just because of that reason alone this apartment and host make this apartment so desirable and well worth the price! We will go back again in a year and hope to stay here once again!
Now, the location. The apartment is located two and a half blocks from the Colosseum. If you're familiar with Rome, you know that traffic is very heavy throughout the year. You can pretty much go from site to site by just walking. This apartment was no exception. However, the Colosseum is the furthest from the "main" touristic attraction area. Be prepared to walk about 20 minutes to get to where the Trevi fountain is. The apartment is not on the busiest streets, however, because of the proximity to the Colesseum, it still gets plenty of car/pedestrian traffic. The apartment is on the last floor of a 4(or 5) floor building with no elevator. There's a 24 hr market about a block away and two great restaurants on each end of the block.
The view!! The view is simply amazing! We spent our evening resting on the small, but romantic balcony! We sipped some of the wine our host left for us and just talked the night away with the romantic view of the Colosseum in the background.
The kitchen had everything you could think of to make dinners at home. On one night, we made a pasta with the items our hosts left for us.
The washer is very useful especially since it was the last leg of our 3-week honeymoon. We had to hang dry our clothing in the upstairs rooftop/patio, which by the way, is private for the apartment.
The rooftop is big enough to hosts parties (not that the hosts would let you, not sure) but its big, pretty, and private.
I say book this place and you'll have everyone on your social media asking for details on your stay (Airbnb)! Yes, it happened to us!
