With pleasure, I write my very first Airbnb review to applaud an exceptional host and home. First, home sweet home. It is absolutely lovely—immaculately clean (floors are so sparkly you can relax barefoot after long walks roaming this amazing city), well appointed (everything you need for comfort from cooking utensils and seasoning to a washing machine—a rare luxury in this historic city), generously stocked (surprise gifts of wine, tea, espresso coffee, and sparkling water), and conveniently located (minutes from the Colosseum, park, grocery, pharmacy, amazing restaurants, and outstanding gelateria G. Fassi). Second, the host is equally lovely—absolutely professional and prompt in communication, kind and accommodating, and ever so resourceful (for example, arranging for excellent airport transport).
I found this gem following an unexpected event that forced me to miss my flight home and required several additional days in Rome. I am forever grateful for Giordano’s display of generous human spirit in accommodating a last-minute request and providing a cozy and comfortable stay under trying circumstances. Over the years, my family and I have stayed at many Airbnb properties, and this truly stands out. Though we love seeking new adventures, Giordano and Iwen’s place will be an exception where we want to return time and again. Mille grazie, Giordano and Iwen.
