Manuela was the perfect host! This was our first trip to Rome AND first Air BnB experience. We researched many places before choosing Manuela's and we are so happy we did. She made us feel very welcome and her home is just lovely. Having an en suite bathroom was an added plus that was much appreciated too. The room itself was very clean and comfortable so coming back to it from a very hot day of adventures was especially fantastic!
Public transportation was very easy as it is practically at your doorstep. The metro (stop is right in front) was under construction but the bus provided to go to Termini Station was convenient and ran often. We discovered an exceptional restaurant around the corner from the house called La Virtú in Tavola and ate there 4 times before our trip was done. We tried the most suggested Gelato places around the city but our favorite was Riva Reno (a Manuela suggestion) which was a very short walk down the street from the house. I dream of this gelato and nothing in NYC can compare, so far anyway.
We will surely try and stay with Manuela again the next time we visit Rome. It's a great location, convenient and affordable. We didn't know what to expect because of the affordability but it was just perfect!
