Our stay at Celimontana Suite II was our first experience of an airbnb, and it couldn't have been better.
The property was – as other reviewers have stated – a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum, making it perfect for sightseeing. At the same time, it was tucked away in a residential street away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. A winning combination.
Our room was spotless, and much larger than the picture would lead you to believe, with a large and comfy bed. The bathroom was immaculate, and we felt at home straight away.
The communal areas also come highly recommended (beautiful antique furniture in the breakfast room, and a sparkling clean kitchen). There was a good selection of breakfast foods too, including croissants, toasts and jams.
Our host Gian Lorenzo couldn't have been more accommodating – and was always available on email and phone in case of any issues (although we had none).
As a local, he suggested areas of interest and places to eat – and as we are vegan and vegetarian, all suggestions were gratefully received.
Our room was cleaned daily – a hotel experience in a much preferred environment.
Rome is incredibly beautiful, but as you would expect, it is also a very busy city, and our apartment provided us with a welcome respite from the busy centre, and at a great price.
This was our second Rome visit. We chose a hotel stay the first time.
When we return, we'll stay at Celimontana again – no question.
Our Celimontana suite turned a nice trip into a perfect trip.
