This was our first time booking an apartment with airBnB and we could not have been luckier. What a beautiful place! Mariapaola's home is spacious, beautifully decorated, quiet, very comfortable and super clean. Not only was the kitchen fully equipped but Stefano (Mariapaola's brother who met us at the metro station and showed us to the apartment) had also stocked it with tons of food such as cereal, milk, sausages, eggs, juice, bread, fresh fruit, cookies and more. We loved cooking dinner for the family here after a long day of sightseeing. Prior to our trip, Mariapaola had answered all my questions promptly and her brother Stefano was also very welcoming. Yes, the apartment is a 15 minute metro ride from the colosseum but we actually enjoyed spending our evenings in this Roman neighborhood, away from tourist crowds. We found a home away from home and hope to come back soon!
