5 stars is not enough for this magnificent apartment. It deserves so much more and is definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences of our 7 years coming to Italy. The apartment is spacious, immaculate and so well presented. Fantastic living accommodation with several dining options including a full sized, eat in kitchen with immediate access to outdoor, covered, cooking and dining on the terrace. The kitchen is meticulously organized and equipped including full sized appliances. The bedroom is huge with an incredibly comfortable bed plus a a massive walk in closet/office for more storage than anyone could possibly use. The bathroom is sleek and contemporary and includes a fabulous rainhead shower with consistent hot water, a true rarity in Italy. The backyard is a wondrous sanctuary that begs you to want to never leave. The apartment includes a washing machine and a dishwasher so every detail is provided and included. We were graciously met and welcomed by Patrizia and communication with Bruno was fast and easy. For us, the best part, is the location of the apartment. A beautiful residential area where you can really experience the everyday life of the Roman people, away from the tourist hordes, but immediately adjacent to the greatest sights and monuments in the city. It is an easy and delightful 10 min walk to the San Giovanni metro stop, 15 minute walk to the Colosseum and Forum and the Aurelian Walls are right down the street. There are 2 major grocery stores within 2 minutes. Restaurants, cafes, shopping, markets, bakeries are all at your doorstep. It is a superb location and we will definitely be returning next year. Look no further, this is where you want to be when visiting Rome, especially if you want the complete experience of living local. Our highest recommendations. It is nothing short of brilliant.
