My girlfriend and I stayed at Valierio's place in Rome in October 2022.
The check-in process and the communication from the host (Valerio) and his colleague (Richard) was fantastic. The day before we were provided with a telephone number that allowed us to ask questions and to be guided to the apartment. Richard was great, he responded promptly and came to meat us outside.
The apartment itself is in a fantastic location and is hidden behind a little gate with a courtyard. We felt super safe staying here. The place is approx 20 minutes walk from the main tourist attractions and 1 hour from the Vatican. The tube station (which we didn't use) is just beneath the little square and is an option for those who aren't as keen on walking everywhere.
The flat was immaculately clean and Richard checked both of us extremely well. The provided map and advice provided around pickpockets was a really nice touch. He also advised us on a few nice places to eat on an evening and where the bars were located.
Overall the stay was fantastic and we would certainly recommend staying at Valierio's apartment to anyone one of our friends.
Thank you for having us.
Elliot & Katrina.
