Antonietta is one of a kind and truly an outstanding host. She made our stay in Rome so memorable, we were constantly surprised by her thoughtful touches and love how she went above and beyond. Let me start from the very beginning.
Communication with Antonietta was always seamless. She gave very clear instructions on how to get to her apt, so we chose to use the subway system and it was so easy to figure out. She met us at the door with a smile and gave us a tour of our room and her private apartment. She sat us down and made me and my boyfriend a fresh cappuccino and offered us Italian sweets. She then gave us a map of Rome and circled all the must do attractions and gave us transportation instructions to all of them. She suggested cool spots to hang out for us "young people" and had a binder of food recommendations and other cool info that were very detailed. We appreciated that so much.
Now the room itself, first and foremost, is in such a great location. Only a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum and so close to the other main attractions. But secondly, it is the cutest most unique room we've ever stayed at. The iron spiral staircase is so charming and the design of the bathroom is just so special. Antonietta went above and beyond, leaving us slippers and towels on our bed, with chocolate wafers in a jar, and umbrellas in a basket and our own coffee maker in our room. We opened our little mini fridge and it came stocked with complimentary water bottles and even a bottle of champagne!! In the bathroom she supplied us mini toiletries like a hotel, but also an array of standard size toiletries...even perfumes, and shaving cream etc. It is just fully stocked across the board. Only thing missing was a hair dryer but if we asked her for one I'm sure she would've given us one. We adored her and the room and we will only stay at her place when we return to Rome. Thank you Antonietta!
