This is the first time I have been to Rome and the first time I have stayed used Airbnb. My daughters and I had a wonderful experience. Katia was so helpful and she answered all my questions before our visit and during our visit. We met Marcos at the apartment and his tips were a great help.

The apartment was perfect! It was clean and had a lovely homely feeling to it. Everything we needed for our stay was there and the location, what can I say, it was perfect. Only on our first day did we use the metro to visit the colosseum, we soon realised that we could walk everywhere. We visited the rest of the attractions on foot, we used to come home in the evening and again felt comfortable walking back to the apartment. The 24-hour supermarket was brilliant and we found it easily on our first night in Rome.

It was lovely to be amongst the locals and at the same time to be able to walk to the Vatican rather than have to catch a lot of public transport. We discovered a lovely quaint cafe on our walks and when we went back the second time the owner who spoke no English wouldn't charge us for our cakes!

Overall, we loved Rome and if we ever went back I would definitely stay at Katia's apartment again.
