Wow - where to begin? As others have mentioned, this has got to be the most unique, most amazing Airbnb listing we've ever stayed at... and we've seen many! Everything about it - the host, the location, the place itself - all top-notch. Rosario is a great host, easy and fun to communicate with, quick to respond, and very accommodating. He was so patient with us when we were trying to book car transfers from various places and on different days and for 2 different groups. The apartment is steps away from Piazza Navona, in one of the best neighborhoods of Rome... you're basically in the middle of it all. There are not 2 but 3 excellent gelato places right outside the door... (a kid's dream!), countless restaurants, shops, and of course, all the sights... It does get loud at night, especially in the upstairs (tower) bedroom, and if you're not into wearing earplugs while sleeping (like me), you can use white noise. It worked like a charm for us.
The place is unique and truly fantastic. We didn't mind all the stairs - thanks to all the other reviews, we knew what to expect - you just don't get to stay in a medieval tower without working for it a little. We left our heavy bags on the bottom floor of the apartment, and only took what we needed up the spiral staircase to the upstairs (tower) bedroom. The rooftop bathroom feels a bit spartan but it didn't bother us one bit. We mostly used the top terrasse as it is roofed and therefore shaded (plus the views are amazing) - the lower level terrasse is also wonderful but it was really hot and sunny during our stay, so we preferred to stay up in the shade. Our kids loved hauling things from the kitchen to the roof terrasse (and back), so it worked out great to enjoy breakfasts and take-out pizza up there. The small kitchen has all the basic things to make a meal - however be aware there is no dishwasher. Last but not least, with the crazy-hot summer weather, coming back to an air-conditioned apartment after a whole day of sight-seeing was just wonderful.
We hope Rosario continues to welcome travelers for years to come - as we are certainly dreaming of coming back to the Millina Tower next time we are in Rome.
