Our visit to Rome and staying in Andreina's place was delightful.
Her apartment is very spacious and clean. There was more than enough room for our family of four. There are three twin sized beds and a full sized bed.
Most importantly, her apartment is very clean. My family always prefers to be shoeless indoors and sometimes we don't think the floors are clean enough to be barefoot. However, Andreina's apartment was very clean and allowed us to be strictly shoes off while inside.
It's was very hot in Rome. Thankfully, the air conditioning worked well. It served as a refreshing place for respite during the hot midday hours.
The location is excellent. There are two grocery stores very close by. Carrefour express is similar to a small Safeway and is just one block away and inexpensive.
We are less than a mile from the San Giovanni Metro stop and also less than one mile from the colosseum. It's an easy walk for those who are able-bodied. It looks like there is construction for a new metro stop just 1/2 block away from her house. That would certainly make her place even more desirable!
Most sites are are in walking distance or easily accessible by public transportation.
We didn't meet Andreina in person but she was always very accessible and responsive via the Airbnb app. She gave me good suggestions for sightseeing and also when I was looking to go out for a run. Mario, the apartment manager, was waiting for us upon arrival and oriented us.
The apartment is four floors up, but there is an elevator that leads directly to her front door. I thought it was nice because I could opt to use the beautiful marble stairs and get some extra exercise while my kids and husband used the elevator.
There is a clothes washer and a well stocked kitchen.
I would definitely recommend staying here. It exceeded my expectations.
