If you are looking for a central location in bustling Rome, then this is the place for you. It is walking distance to everything and is surrounded by cafes and restaurants. The room is on the third floor and is serviced by a small lift. The shower is good and the bed is the most comfortable I have slept in with Airbnb. The kitchen is tiny but you will likely eat out most of the time.
The jewel in the crown is definitely the host Frederica. She is simply wonderful. She is keen to meet with her guests and show them around. If she offers to take you for a walk, i strongly recommend that you take up her offer, especially if this is your first visit to the Eternal City. She will point out cafes and restaurants that are worth going to, as well as historical places like the Parthenon. She really is a super host. Also, if she suggests that her driver pick you up from the airport, accept the offer. The taxi driver we took was surly and did not accept credit card payments (that was all we had!!) Thankfully ‘Happy’, Frederica’s ‘House Boy’ overheard our conversation with the belligerent taxi driver and quickly came up with the €50 for the cab fare.
One thing to note is the City Tax. It is €3.50 per person per night. This is not included in your Airbnb booking.
If we are ever in Rome again, this is where we will stay.
