Valentino’s Airbnb proved to be a fantastic apartment for our 10-night stay in Rome over the Christmas and New Year holidays. The location in the Monti neighborhood near the Colosseum was exactly where we wanted to be while also being located on a quiet street. We had everything we needed: the wifi was consistently strong for when we had to do some work, the kitchen was big enough for groceries, cooking and eating in for breakfast and dinner some days. After long days touring the sites and museums Rome has to offer, we very much appreciated that the building had an elevator, that the apartment shower always had hot water, and that the beds were comfortable. Valentino was an attentive host who took great care of us. (Bonus: while a Conad grocery store is close by, even better is the Mercato Rionale on Via Baccina 36 where Filippo makes delicious “pasta fresca” that we ate many nights.)
