The location of the house near the Tiber river & the Ponte Sisto bridge is perfect because it is in the middle and within walking distance of all the areas of interest in Rome (5 mins from Trastevere & the Pantheon, 10 mins from Vatican City & Castel Sant’ Angelo, 15 mins from Piazza di Spagna, Fontana di Trevi & the Colloseum). Bus & tram stops are nearby as well (3 mins walking) so that you can go anywhere you want in the city.
As for the accommodation, the house was very clean and cozy. It doesn’t look like it was decorated for an airbnb, but rather like it is someone’s home.
Now, for Valerio… well you can imagine what kind of a host is someone who draws a map of the neighbourhood by hand and marks the points of interest (pharmacy, bakery, market etc) written in your own language (for us it was in greek). Furthermore, he helped us with all the ways of transportation we could use to get to the house and kept asking us what we would need to find there at the moment of our arrival. I didn’t ask for anything, but a bottle of wine and beers where waiting for us anyway!
I will most certainly prefer this house again next time I visit Rome, because of the location firstly and secondly because Valerio earned it!
