Best location ever! This beautifully appointed, modern apartment is just steps away from Campo de Fiori (open air market, restaurants, bakery, and the host's meat market). It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to several mini markets, pizza places, ice cream, ATM, tourist shops, a bus hub, and taxi stands. And yet, the apartment is quiet, peaceful, and off the beaten path. It's an easy walk (20 minutes or less) to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, Trastevere, and the Jewish ghetto. Tip for early risers: the bakery at Trevi Fountain opens at 7am, others open at 8. Try the pizza bianca. Early mornings are the best way to see the sights with virtually no crowds and little traffic.
The apartment is on the ground floor. Open the door, step over the threshold, and you're in the sitting room. I felt very safe in the area and with the security of the apartment door. I was concerned that the floors and stairway down to the bedroom might be slippery. They were not. The bed was very comfortable, there were ample places to put away clothes, and the room was blissfully quiet. There are TWO bathrooms with showers and creative plumbing on the lower floor. Hint: use your umbrella until you figure out which knob does what. Unlike American showers, you can't fiddle with the knobs and then step into the shower once you have adjusted everything to your liking. Everything in the apartment was spotless.
This was our first experience with an Airbnb and it won't be our last. Benedetto, our host, arranged for a limo from the airport for us and met us at the apartment. He showed us around the apartment, gave us a little walking tour so we would be familiar with our surroundings, and shared restaurant recommendations. Communication from start to finish was excellent and we received a delightful sample tray of cured meats in the fridge waiting for us with a bottle of sparkling wine and sparkling water! I can't imagine a better host. The entire experience made for a most enjoyable trip.
