Was definitely glad to book this apartment for my family’s first visit to Rome. You can’t get a much better location than this when wanting to check out all the tourist spots, almost everything was within walking distance - perfect when traveling with 4 kids! The space was also more than adequate for the six of us.
Brando is a gracious host and has excellent communication. He was prompt in returning all my messages. We got stuck in Lisbon because of a missed connection due to flight delay and didn’t even arrive in Rome till 12AM. Brando was so great about having to adjust our new check-in time and even assured me we weren’t inconveniencing him at all, since he already had another late check-in. Some hosts could have been difficult about it, but he wasn’t at all.
The place is super clean and the beds comfortable, even the sofa bed we had to make use of. I am usually so freaked out about bed linens because I’m a germaphobe, but had no qualms at all when sleeping at night. Check out super easy too.
My husband and I loved that it had an outdoor patio off the master bedroom, we used it to escape the kids and decompress with a drink when they were bothering us. HAHA. Didn’t have to leave them in the apartment or anything like that to get some quiet time….But even if you wanted to, there are so many restaurants close by it’s so convenient.
A couple things to note, it is located on a main street so there’s definitely some noise at night. Nothing that prevented any of us from sleeping well everyday, but if you are a light sleeper, it might be something to consider. That being said, we always felt safe and secure in the home and when accessing it as well.
The other thing I wanted to say is, it is only a one bathroom apartment. It might have been more convenient for our family of six with another one, but again it worked fine for us. The tank to the toilet fills slowly so don’t worry if it doesn’t flush pushing it twice back to back, it’s not broken it’s just filling. The first night there I was so worried it wasn’t working right, but it’s fine. I think that’s an American thing when the toilet fills very fast.
Sorry for the long review, but the reviews help me when finding a BnB and so I always try to be thorough lol.
Grazie mille Brando for a wonderful stay! Would definitely book again! :)
