As a first time user of airbnb I was very wary of what I would find.
From the moment I placed an interest in the listing Guilia had been prompt with replies, everything she has said was exactly as described.
The journey to the apartment from the airport was very easy and cheap, a lot cheaper than the taxi touts at the airport were saying. Quick train journey followed by a quick ride on a tram.
The apartment was easy to find, upon entering Guilia's mother ran us through the workings of the apartment. The apartment was exceptionally clean, and I could see it was being run professionally, Guilia had kept in contact from my London departure to make sure everything was ok.
The apartment is well laid out and two of us stayed but certainly suffice for 4.
The beds were comfortable and clean. The apartment smelt fresh. We found the fridge had drinks for our arrival. Ample towels provided. The bathroom was pleasant at first looks I wondered how I'd find the shower being broad, but it was comfortable with good water pressure. The lock to the door was very secure which was reassuring.
The location was good for food in the evening, and a pleasent stroll north to any of the main attractions, with three bridges to cross.
It was nice to be out of the main centre for a calmer environment with the knowledge of a 25 minute walk in any direction for sights.
My top advice for Rome is ignore the taxis at the airport and take the train. Upon arrival go to the roma Cristiano (excuse the spelling) and take advantage of the roma pass and all the excursions it offers as opposed to those how stop you in the street. The open top bus stops near the apartment on the north side of the river.
In area of the apartment it's a welcome break from worrying about pickpockets and street traders approaching you.
10/10 fo Guilia, it has converted a pessimist to airbnb, the main problem I have is its only down hill from here surely!
