This was our first time using airbnb and it will not be the last. The apartment was perfect for a week in Rome. It was very central, meaning we could walk to all the main sights, and had all the facilities we needed for our short stay. Tommy was the perfect host; welcoming, helpful and responsive. The recommendations he made for places to go were spot on, including some that were just around the corner. The combination of an apartment with a helpful and knowledgeable host made our visit so much more rewarding than a stay in a hotel, however central - it made the connection with the City much more personal.
