If you are looking for a place to say in Rome with a large group...THIS IS IT!.
We needed something that could accommodate 9 adults, in the end we only had 8 go on the trip but this place had the room and more. Lots of beds and roomier than the standard European flat. The location was fabulous, just up the street from the Colosseum. It was an awesome sight each night when the lights had just turned on and the sun was setting. it's a great location because it was pretty much central to everything and short walking distance to all types of transportation. Rome Terminal is just down the street. Several little pastry and small markets just a few doors way. Every night we walked to the corner for Gelato, Lemon Freezes and little pasty treats. The store owers are so friendly. There is a small shopping market down near the Colosseum and up a couple of streets near all the restaurants for those AirBnb pros who cook meals in the hotel.
When we first arrived at the Flat, we were early before the cleaning was done, but Salvatore graciously let us store our luggage while we waited for check-in. Llaria was there to greet us. What a sweet lady! She was so friendly and so helpful. She even helped us find a great place to eat that was only a few blocks away. She even went out of her way to try to make us reservations.
Working with Salvatore was way better than I expected. Most AirBnB owners just give you basic info, but Salvatore was much more so. I had asked if he had any suggestions for sight seeing, more that just the usual attractions. He ended up providing a long list of options as well as giving us advice on how far way some places were. But even better he put us in touch with a friend of his who puts together guided tours. Susannetta was amazing to work with and listened to all of my needs. She put together a wonderful tour of Rome by golf cart, and we saw places we would have never thought of going to see. If you want a great experience I suggest looking into working with Susannetta (http://www.susannettaconcierge.com).
In the end when our stay was over this was my response to Salvatore..."Ciao Salvatore, thank you for such a wonderful stay. Your hospitality, home and many friends llaria and Susannetta made our stay so memorable. We feel like we are now friends with your friends."
