Pina and Leonardo were absolutely wonderful from the beginning all the way through to the end of our stay. We felt very welcomed and they helped make our stay very memorable. Luckily for us, Leonardo was able to pick us up from the airport and drive us directly to the apartment where we met up with Pina. She took us around the apartment and explained how everything worked. Everything was perfect and it was exactly as it is described. She then gave us a cell phone to use whenever we needed to get in touch with her. We then took a short walk to the metro which is only 5 minutes away. After she helped us obtain metro passes, we then sat down at a local café to enjoy our first cappuccinos. While there, she was able to answer all of our questions and she gave a lot of recommendations as to where to go and how to get there. Pina is very knowledgeable of Rome and it's history. She told us of several places that were not overly crowded with tourist, but are very important to the history of Rome. As for the neighborhood, it was very quiet and picturesque! There are many local pizzerias, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and shopping in the neighborhood. The prices are outstanding, so much better than the city of Rome where most tourist shop.
As this is our first time using airbnb , we were very happy with the whole experience. If your looking to stay where the locals do, this would be the place. We would absolutely recommend this apartment and we will definitely be staying here again.
