It's no wonder that Riccardo is rated a "Super Host." I've had many excellent experiences with Airbnb hosts, but I don't think any of them went to the lengths Riccardo did to make me feel welcome, to make sure I understood everything about the apartment, and to help me get the most out of my stay in Rome. Meeting him was a real joy, and I can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else next time I visit Rome. The apartment is wonderful, too. It's located close to many of the major tourist attractions and convenient to many stores and restaurants, yet it's also a peaceful and quiet oasis where one can relax away from the hubbub of the Roman streets. Although the weather was baking hot the weekend I was there, the apartment remained cool and refreshing thanks to the air conditioning in both rooms. The kitchen was well equipped, and Riccardo even left a welcome gift of a bottle of wine (I don't drink myself, but no doubt the next guest will enjoy it!), some fruit, and snacks. An excellent experience all round!
