This was our first time using Airbnb in Rome. Andrea’s place was nothing less than perfect!!!
Location: so central to everything. You get the authentic experience, and feel that you are a resident of Italy, even though it is central. When you look out the window, there is a farmers market that gets set up every morning in the plaza across the way. Other times of the day, you will find kids and families playing and hanging out. It was great because if you leave the window open, you can hear them, but if you close the windows, you get complete silence. I thought that was important, as being jetlagged, I needed to catch up on my sleep. I had no problems with that at Andreas place.
Cleanliness: . Super clean! Many things or one time use and packaged. I can have allergies to dust mites, but I didn’t have any reactions the entire time I was there which meant that his place was really clean.
Thoughtfulness: The little touches all around the apartment are evident of Andrea’s thoughtfulness. He had wine, and Prosecco, along with many other snacks which were provided for us to enjoy. The apartment had very cute personal touches and decorations, which makes you appreciate Airbnb more than a hotel. I also love the color scheme.
Location: Across the way from a few cafés and restaurants. Right next to a park/ Plaza area. A block away from the laundromat (although he has a washing machine). Block away from the supermarket. Few minutes from buses and taxi stations. Very safe and charming area.
Checking In/ Hospitality: I hate it when I’m bombarded by hosts via texts and messages before my stay and throughout my stay. Andrea was one of the only ones who allowed me my freedom, respected my time and privacy during my vacation to Italy. He gave me space, didn’t make my whole stay about his Airbnb. He kindly met me when I arrived, and was readily available when I needed him without hassling me. At one point, I wanted to do laundry and I realize that I forgot to bring detergent. When I mention this to him, without a hesitation or a pause, he went out and brought me some. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable while still respecting your space. That for me was a huge plus.
Fully packed home with everything you would need. Awesome experience overall. Thank you VERY much! We will be back again!!!!
