The Tolemaide apartment with Cory was perfect for my family's stay in Rome. It felt like a true home and Cory was a fabulous host. His communication from booking through check out was just right. Cory accommodated our late flight arrival and communicated well all throughout the stay. The apartment is so spacious and has all the amenities we needed - from A/C that worked well, to a washer and dryer, to beds for a family of four, to an elevator to the third floor apartment (very welcome for days with luggage or groceries).
The location is so close to the Vatican sites, but feels like living in a real Rome neighborhood. Cory provided lots of restaurant recommendations. We found our favorite gelato in all of Italy right around the corner - Manny's gelato - and trust me, we tried a lot of gelato. Each time we'd look at each other and say, "It's no Manny's." There are breakfast spots in the neighborhood, a tasty place right on Tolemaide, good pastries right around the corner, pharmacy and groceries nearby. The apartment is only 5 minutes walk to the Metro station, convenient for getting around. We also found the It.Taxi app to be very easy to use for times when we travelled by taxi.
Check-out was a breeze, too. Cory gave clear instructions, communicated with us via WhatsApp and the AirBnB app. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday in Rome!
