THE HOSTS: As this was my first time staying in an Airbnb I was a bit anxious, but the moment Valeria messaged me upon booking, my mind was put at ease. She was available throughout my week-long stay for any questions, comments or concerns, which was much appreciated! She also offered plenty of suggestions to me for eat. I actually extended my Rome trip by a week so nearing the end of my stay, I asked Valeria if she could arrange a car to pick me up from the loft to my hotel, which she did with pleasure. She and Mario gladly helped me get my bags downstairs and personally saw me off once the car arrived. They are communicative, personable, and take great care of their guests!
THE LOFT: This loft was perfect for me! It was so cozy, the bed so comfortable, and the aesthetic very cute! I loved returning here after a long day of adventuring. It is in the perfect, and I mean PERFECT location! You can walk everywhere, and anywhere you can't walk to, the metro is only what feels like seconds away, and the buses and tram are within a few minutes' walk. You can get to the Trevi Fountain, the Palazzo Doria Pamphilij, and Terrazza del Pincio all by foot, just to name a few. There's plenty of eating, shopping, people watching, etc to do in this area. There is a market right around the corner for picking up any groceries or toiletries you might need (and a a local, organic market around the corner as well!). Also, this area is very SAFE, which shocked me a little! As a solo traveler and a woman I am very aware of my surroundings and pick up on the vibe of an area very quickly; I personally felt completely comfortable at ease walking around Piazza di Spagna by myself at night.
I cannot say enough how great my stay was and how blessed I feel that this was my first Airbnb experience. When I come back to Rome, I will definitely be checking to see if any of Valeria & Mario's listings are available before I look anywhere else! If you are hesitant, I can assure you you can't go wrong booking here! <3
