Valentina & David were awesome hosts and on top of everything, start to finish. They weren't able to meet us in person, but their friend Eric was able to let us into the apartment just as we discussed. All of the details and amenities were explained, and the apartment matches perfectly with the pictures. They even left a welcome basket with some snacks, along with a huge bottle of water that was very welcome in the warm Roman summer. A bunch of maps and information about the city were provided in addition to several local recommendations (restaurants, grocery stores, laundromat, etc.) all within walking distance of the apartment.

The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from Termini, which can be a bit of a hike if you have a lot of luggage but definitely isn't unreasonable. The closest metro station is only 5-10 minutes away so it's easy to get around the city. The bed was firm (which I personally like) but may not the favorite of those that prefer softer mattresses. The apartment is spacious with plenty of room for two or three people. There is an air conditioning unit in the living room that was a dream to have with how hot the city can get. The bathroom was also great - good size shower with a great shower head and a large sink. I'd definitely recommend this apartment for those visiting the city.
