Stayed for one fantastic week in Michele’s apartment in Borgo Pio. One of the best AirBnB places we have stayed in. From the beginning Michele has been an excellent communicator & that continued into our stay. Michele met us at the apartment at the appointed time & was even kind enough to carry up one of the suitcases to the apartment. That was a tremendous help as there are 52 steps to reach his floor. Kept us in shape :)
Michele spent well over half an hour explaining all the amenities of the apartment & answered all our questions. He is a very personable & well-informed host. He has also curated a list of recommended restaurants not only for the Borgo Pio area, but for many of the areas you may be visiting in Rome. We’ve added some of his suggestions to our new favourite restaurants. Thank you, Michele!
The apartment is exactly as you see in the listing. It is absolutely spotless & very comfortable. So much space. And as a bonus there are two A/C units, one in the living room & one in the bedroom. In Rome in the summer this is a must. It was incredibly hot when we visited. Michele’s apartment is modern & is very well equipped. You would be very able to prepare meals during your stay. There is a lot of cooking equipment & dishes, just about anything you could ask for. We appreciated being able to use his washing machine, which is in the bathroom. Nice touch!
The location is excellent for visiting Rome. You are a stone’s throw away from the Vatican & St. Peter’s Square in one direction & Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza Navone, the Pantheon, etc. in the opposite direction. Michele is a tremendous host & I would highly recommend staying at his apartment. He will make you feel very welcome.
