Our week at this charming apartment was our first AirBnb experience--and we couldn't have been happier. While we did not get to meet Sophie, her husband Alessio took great care of us from the very first meeting. As it was the first night of our honeymoon, he had prepared a couple of glasses of Prosecco and chocolate pastries for our arrival. He also provided a map and bus passes to get us started, and gave us some advice on how to get to the various places throughout Rome.

The space is exactly as pictured and described--it is a perfect hideaway from the very busy streets of Rome. Full of character with its artwork and unique furniture, the apartment has everything you need. We loved the neighborhood, particularly that it was not saturated with other tourists but was also relatively close to the major attractions.

Overall, though, I think what made the experience so great was the warmth and graciousness of our host. As each and every review has stated, the breakfasts provided are top notch--each one just a bit different than the day before but steadfast in deliciousness. Alessio asked each day what time we'd prefer breakfast the following morning, and during these chats he'd check in to ensure everything was going smoothly. He went above and beyond with our laundry, and quickly fixed the slow shower drain without us even having to ask.

Thank you Alessio and Sophie for such a wonderful experience!
