Eugene is an excellent hose and was actually a huge highlight of our trip! He was, in our view, what Airbnb is all about: staying somewhere affordable, getting to know someone local who is eager to share about where they live, helpful, hospitable and kind!
Eugene helped us out so much with transportation tips (even giving us some bus tickets!), recommendations on where to eat and things to see, and made us breakfast each morning (with freshly squeezed Sicilian oranges, I might add!), and was always so lovely to chat with. He also gave very helpful information about taxis and how much they should cost coming to and from the airport and the city centre as well, to help you not get scammed by cabbies.
When we come back (and we will!), we will try to stay here again, and will be sending any friends visiting Rome to him! We really couldn’t rate our stay with Eugene any higher.
(Also, his cats were very friendly and cute!). Thank you, Eugene!
