Sara's beautiful apartment surpassed all expectations! Our group of 9 were immediately comfortable in her space, and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. The street just one over from her apartment gave us the most breathtaking view of Saint Peter's Basilica. We found everything we needed all within a minutes of walking, including reliable bus stops, a delicious gelateria, and a 24hr convenience store.
Sara was unfortunately out of town on the day of our arrival, but she put me in touch with her housekeeper, Rosie. I was blown away with how welcoming and incredibly helpful she was. In taking the time to hire a housekeeper as caring and trustworthy as Rosie, it says a lot about the high standards Sara has for her place and her guests. Rosie answered all the questions we had and more, including local tips. My family initially had some concerns about the general safety of traveling around Rome/Italy, but she was very reassuring and by following her tips, our group had a great experience!
Similarly, Sara was immediately responsive both leading up to our trip and during. She booked us private transportation from and to the airport, with the later being a regrettable last minute request on my part. With that said, we were so thankful that she responded to us so quickly and arranged us private transportation by the same trusted people who first picked us up from the airport when we first arrived to Rome.
All in all, our stay was phenomenal. I tend to be quite picky when it comes to Airbnb's, but Sara's apartment was nothing short of expectations. She places great attention to details and provided us with everything we could have possibly needed. My only complaint is that our vacation wasn't longer!
