Aldo and his Stone Throw-2 made a perfect stay for my family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers in Rome. Aldo communicated with us immediately after we booked with lots of information and recommendations about the area. His hospitality and friendliness were above and beyond the expectations of an airbnb host throughout the entire stay and we highly recommend his apartments. He stocked the kitchen with some essentials like eggs, bread, drinks, and pasta. Aldo was available and easy to get in touch with whenever we needed anything. He even offered to help call for taxi service when we needed it.
The apartment is very clean and functional as well with enough kitchen accessories for us to make a few meals, a nice hair dryer, and a washing machine for laundry. No dryer (you won't find many in Italy) but the drying rack outside dried our clothes quickly and perfectly.
The location was central to all the sites most tourists would want to see. Just a walk down the street and a couple of turns away is the Colosseum and Forum area. We are walkers, so we walked to the Victor Emmanuel Memorial and Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navonna, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and even Villa Borghese. The Vatican is a bit farther, so we caught a cab there, but there is also a very convenient bus to catch to get there (which Aldo was happy to tell us about). The neighborhood was beautiful with good restaurants, nearby grocery, and quaint little shops. We felt safe the entire time.
We highly recommend this apartment and give Aldo 10 stars out of 5!
