Alessio was a great host, meeting us after we arrived later than expected and did a great job of showing us how the apartment worked and recommending some local shops.
The location is fantastic, a little distance away from major attractions but local food and services, better and cheaper than the tourist areas. Pizza right next door and a convenience store, many more just around the corner. Coliseum is a pleasant 20 minute walk and from there only a little further to the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps (currently under repair). The round trip was great and according to my phone, about 20,000 steps.
Train station is nearby and is a good way to get to the Vatican quickly and indeed to the airport.
The room is modern and spacious with good wireless and was great for my wife and I and my 2 adult kids, nice for them to have their own rooms. There was a very minor problem with the air conditioning in the main bedroom, a message to Alessio in Airbnb saw him reply almost immediately and arrive within 10 minutes to remedy the issue.... AMAZING response!
Only our second AirBNB stay and it confirms the key benefit of AirBNB, the opportunity to live in a city rather than just stay in a generic hotel.
