What an amazing stay in Rome. My family and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lavinia is a fantastic host and has set a high bar for us for future trips through Airbnb. The apartment was very clean and well laid out. It was quiet and in a great location (we walked to all the main tourist spots throughout the city with the Colosseum being the furthest at 30 minutes). At her suggestion we pre-booked our tours (Colosseum and the Vatican) and avoided long, same-day ticket lines.
Lavinia was super helpful with our trip. Her guide book was extremely thorough and well thought out. She would respond to questions via text almost immediately. I appreciated all the help she provided with airport transfers and recommendations on public transportation within the city. If you happen to catch a football match at Stadio Olimpico then a stop at Trapizzino is a must (a great suggestion from Lavinia that isn't part of the guide book)!
Would definitely stay with Max and Lavinia again if we are lucky enough to get to Rome in the future.
