Our first time using AIRBNB following recommendation from a friend. Very impressed and will definitely be using again. Our host, Lina, was so welcoming and friendly. When we arrived she was there waiting. The apartment was spotless and looked much bigger than the pictures show. Lina showed us around the apartment, left us plenty of 'tourist' essentials and even left us, more than basic, essentials like bread, snacks, water, some beers and a bottle of Preseca. Was so kind and left us feeling very happy with our choice and welcomed into the city of Rome. Lina was on hand to help out if we needed but with the maps and information supplied we didnt need any further help. The apartment is situated about 5 minutes from Spagna Metro station and (from a 32 year old healthy sporty male point of view) most tourist places would be walkable but i would suggest the metro over to St Pauls (3 stops i think) and to the Colloseum (5 stop and a change) but all done pretty quick. From the airport (Ciampino) we took a cab to the apartment (€50 and 40 minutes - quite heavy traffic) albeit on the way to the airport we took the metro and shuttle bus metro was €1.50 and bus €1.20 which took about 70 minutes door to door but obviously a cheaper option!
The apartment is very well placed for your evening entertainment of shopping - either gift shopping/high street brands or designer, restaurants/cafes and ice cream. I would definitely recommend this listing as Lina is a brilliant, friendly host, the apartment is lovely and the location ideal. Travelled as a couple April 2015.
Many thanks again Lina. Ciao!
