When we travel, we look for four features in an AirBnB: we want it to be clean, quiet, comfortable and convenient. Laurie's Holiday Home met all four of these goals perfectly. The flat was very clean, surprisingly spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a week's stay in Rome. We actually ate every breakfast and every dinner in the apartment, opting to find new restaurants for a mid-day meal. The refrigerator was larger than many BnBs we've stayed at, the washing machine worked well, the bedrooms were big and the beds were comfortably firm. There were plenty of towels, pillows, dishes, kitchen utensils, etc. The apartment is back off the street, and has some awesome blackout shutters that minimize both light and sound--great for light sleepers! The bathroom was modern and pretty spacious; my husband is 6'5" (2 meters), and the shower head was at a very comfortable height for him, and the shower was quite large. Very good water pressure, which I've heard can be an issue in Rome. Bathroom was spotless. The wifi was fast.
There is a fairly decent grocery store about two blocks away, and as many other reviewers have mentioned, very good gelato is even closer. We felt very safe walking everywhere. The Termini is about a 15-20 minute walk; Metro is on the way to the Termini, about 5-7 minutes from the apartment. We actually were able to walk everywhere from the apartment (even to the Vatican, which is across the Tiber--and we're in our mid-60s). So the location was perfect for us, as we were going to take day trips out of the city from the train station.
Magguy was a wonderful host. We were delayed getting to the apartment on the evening of our arrival, and weren't able to contact her. She was very gracious, even though we kept her waiting for at least an hour. She also was very kind, professional and accommodating with other requests, and responded very quickly. We were very satisfied with Laurie's Holiday Home, and would recommend it to other guests visiting the Eternal City who are looking for a place that is clean, quiet, convenient and comfortable. Thank you, Magguy, for a lovely stay!
