From before we arrived I knew that our hosts were going to be exceptional. I had contacted Neri several times with specific queries which she always answered immediately (bearing in mind we were in opposite sides of the world, this was most impressive).
Neri arranged a car for us to collect us from the airport which arrived without issue, even though we arrived very early in the morning. We adored the apartment, it was scrupulously clean and Neri and Mariano had supplied absolute everything that we needed for our weeks stay. There was nothing that we needed to buy, even things like paper towel for the kitchen were provided.
The apartment proved to be a place of refuge in the heatwave, it was cool and refreshing with Aircon in the bedroom and lounge room, and shutters that kept out the heat if closed.
Being so centrally located we were able to go out in the morning and return during the heat of the day and then venture out later when the temperature dropped a little. Nothing was more than a 15-20 minute walk to all the main tourist attractions and even the Vatican and Borghese gallery were within walking distance or a 7Euro taxi fare. The Pantheon was a 5 minute walk, Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navone maybe 10minutes, or less. We even walked to the colosseum and Travestere.
There was several supermarkets within 5 minutes walk, along with many restaurants.
Netflix was a godsend during the heatwave and the wifi was fast and stable.
The apartment was tastefully decorated providing a calm setting after a morning or afternoon of sightseeing in the heat.
I can not recommend this Airbnb enough it has surpassed every other one we have stayed in and I doubt you could find better anywhere let alone Rome. And Neri and Mariano thoughtfully provided us with recommendations for eating out, sightseeing, public transport etc. There welcome folder was full of helpful information.
We actually felt like this Airbnb was like our own home with very caring and beautiful hosts. I look forward to returning one day in the future to enjoy Rome again and Neri and Mariano’s superb hospitality. I’m sure in the future we will have very fond memories of Rome due largely to our very enjoyable stay here.
